More fun than you can shake a stick at

Sorry for splitting the infinitive. :)

We spent yesterday at Storybook Gardens, and it was definitely the highlight of the summer thus far. We spent the morning biking around Springbank Park, then went to the Gardens for lunch, where Liam had a cheese pizza and Chad and I had fabulous pannini sandwiches that were neither overpriced nor your typical gross amusement park-type food. After some time on the pirate ship and checking out the frog pond, maze and petting farm, we spent the majority of the afternoon at the splash pad. It was a terribly hot day, so this was awesome. Liam had a blast and next time we go (yes, there will be a next time) I am going to wear my swimsuit and leave the camera in the bag - there is just way too much fun to be had. Even for a big kid like me. We buzzed up on lemonades and slushies, crashed back at Aunty Jenn and Uncle Darin's for a nap, and then went out to dinner. Admission to Storybook Gardens is super cheap ($16.50 for our little family) and you can spend the entire day there and then some. We didn't even get a chance to ride the carousel or train; like I said... next time.

(Poor little dude - is it wrong of me to get so much enjoyment out of this kind of stuff?)
