Where do I start??

Well, first and foremost, Darrin is here! I picked him up Friday night and it's been steady go ever since.
I may have to update you all in point form.

• Ethan was sleeping when Darrin arrived so he didn't see him until the next morning. He was so excited that his laughter turned to tears and the both of them started crying. Of all the reactions I was picturing, that was not one of them. It was fantastic!
• Canada Day - we took a road trip to Goderich for their small town celebrations. It was actually fun. Free BBQ and pop followed by a parade, all with my family - great time.
• July 2 - My 31st birthday. We went to Niagara Falls and rode on the Maid of the Mist. It's a boat that takes you right to the base of the falls. All of us (except for mom and Aidan) went and we got soaked. It was great and a very cool experience. Ethan loved it. We walked all around the touristy places (Clifton Hill) and then went back to the hotel for supper and a swim.
• July 3 - Marineland. What a blast! We did all the rides, saw all the shows, and walked, and walked, and walked. Ethan and his cousins did all the kiddie rides then the adults and some of the older kids did the larger rides. Ya know, I used to like rides...
• More Marineland - We saw the Harbour Seal show, the dolphin and sea lion show (we were front row so it was great!), Mom, Ethan, and Alison got soaked by the Killer Whales and Ethan fed and touched the Baluga Whales and the Bears (no touching, just feeding those). 8 hours later we drove home.

We have had a fantastic 3 days so far and there is more to come.

I do have a Ethan's Funny Quote of the Day:

"Dad, I saw two mommy cows lay baby cows".

(Not really but their were two calfs born last week in the farm down the road!)
