Cousin Fun

Forgot to mention on Friday but at school this past Friday was Dwarfism Awareness day at Declan's school. Everyone wore green and the students were introduced to one of their schoolmates, Sana, who has Dwarfism. The custodian as Declan's school, Mrs. H even showed Declan Sana's special bathroom that the school built just for her. 

Now onto the weekend...

Saturday morning we hit to road for Canada's Wonderland. Was so excited for the little guy to see a big amusement park with proper rides and just run around with his cousin.

They started off with a train ride with Daddy before a mini yellow roller coaster with their Moms.

After that they went on The Red Baron plane ride which Declan seemed to love.

Things were going well and Declan was happy to hop on another kid ride but then we made the mistake of trying the Ghoster Coaster, a real roller coaster. He did not like it. He said it was scary and hurt his back. He added "it was not fun". This added to poor Holden crying throughout the ride and the boys were no longer interested in any rides. Everything looked scary. I feel so bad for the little man as he was having such a good time and was eager before the roller coaster. He does tell me he will be ready for it once he's ten. After a little while he agreed to one last ride, the carrousel but not without the bride of a game of ring toss. Then with the promise of a stop at Mastermind on the ride home for the boys we left Canada's Wonderland. Declan was instantly asleep on Daddy's arm as we left the parking lot. Lots of fresh air and running around got the best of him.

Saturday evening the boys continued to play well and were up late together. It was such fun that after meeting up for breakfast all together before they headed back to Ottawa Declan couldn't stop crying after saying goodbye. Once again, it's good, it means he really loved being with them but hurts the heart seeing his big genuine tears rolling down his cheeks. Poor little monkey.
