Mummy Got Kathryn's life jacket while we drove around. On the way out, we saw roller coasters.
Fourth stop: price chopper
We got some food.
Final stop: THE COTTAGE!!
We unpacked and played.

Day 2: Boats & Olympics

Jenn and her dad took the boats out. Kathryn and daddy went in the canoe first. Then we had a turn. The cottage Olympics are here! Today we ran, we swam, we threw, we played badminton and ate cookies!

Day 3: Waterfalls & Ice Cream

We did some canoeing and after luch... We went to Kawatrha dairy one of the best ice cream shops in the world! Aiden had Death By Chocolate, and Mark had Chocolate And Peanut Butter. Then we went to Ritchie Falls. We explored, we climbed on rocks, found frogs and a spider the size of our hands, Mark climbed through a rocky cave tunnel, we had fun!

Day 4: Paper Boats, Bugs and rain

We made some paper boats, and had a boat sailing competition. Aiden won! We failed to catch some fish, but did catch some bugs:

• A pond hopper / pond skater
• Some sort of water bug
• A grasshopper
• A moth

Day 5: Towers, Waterfalls, and Drips

In the morning we played Count On Buzz Lightyear. Then we went to a ranger station with a tall tower and we climbed up to see the view. After that we went to Dorset Museum. There were turtle skeletons, shells, and a model of a machine to take logs up from one lake to another. After a pub lunch we went to the famous Robinson's Store, then to Buttermilk Falls where we explored and built inukshuks at the end of the river. Then it rained. We went back to the cottage, played some more games, and water started coming through the cottage roof!

Day 6: Santa's Village and Happy Feet

We used the rollercoaster road to get to Santa's Village where it's Christmas all year round. At Santa's Village we:

• Wore some elf hats
• Spoke to Santa in his house
• Saw most of the Reindeer
• Rode on a train
• Terrible Tom the pirate took us on Santa's Summer Sleigh boat
• Went in a bauble on a ferris wheel
• Flew planes
• Rode horses on the carousel
• Bounced on the jumping star ride
• Ate pizza for lunch
• Crossed to Elf Island where we climbed over the entrance on ropes and played in play structures
• Paddled swan boats
• Visited Mrs Claus's bake shop and made gingerbread men
• Drove go-karts and ate our gingerbread men
• Went on Rudolph's Rollercoaster

Day 7: Heading Home

We packed up all our stuff and headed home. We stopped for lunch at Barrie and ate burgers under the Spirit Catcher which looked like someone with many knives put through their arms!
