Cabin fever

I refuse to be brought down by cabin fever! Every winter, we would try to take the kids to one or two winter carnivals. Yes, it was a bit difficult to go on midway rides all bundled up in our winter down and hubby always froze during the Ferris Wheel rides, but we went anyway. The kids always had tons of fun!

Last Sunday we went to the Vaughan Winterfest. We started our morning with a CN mini-train ride and then moved on to more exciting rides such as Spinner and the Sizzler. My husband and I realized that our stomachs are no longer as strong as they used to be. I used to be able to go on roller coaster rides as many as four times in a row! But well, with names like Spinner and THE Sizzler, what did we expect?!  With swaying knees and slightly queasy stomachs, we made our way to watch the Max and Ruby show. After all, we had to rest, right? Max was really the cutest little bunny! I actually enjoyed the show!

There were some nice photo ops throughout the entire event. My kind of thing! There were ice sculptures kids could pose in and Puss n Boots made an appearance. The Star Wars Storm Troopers also went around in their white battle gear. They were probably the warmest creatures there, albeit not too comfy. Then again, who is comfy in winter wear?

We also checked out the different info tables but skipped Pizza-making class, face painting and the hockey booth. We had just the right amount of fun and play then we were ready for a nice Middle-Eastern lunch.  After having our crunchy falafel, juicy chicken breast kebab and freshly baked pita bread, our pre-schooler was just about ready for her nap. Not bad for a Sunday outing. Back to our “cabin.”
