Kids Holiday Update #2

B:

I want to hold the dog. I want to walk the dog. I want to run around the backyard with dog. I like the dog.

Bye.

(the above is what I wrote, trying to encourage B to start because it can be ...tricky ...to get buy in from him. I've been authorized to add:)

We got to feed carrots to the elk.

A:

As soon as we got to Auntie C’s house, we went into her backyard and Auntie C was barbequing hamburgers on the grill. Her backyard was filled with impatiens. She had flowers everywhere.

Some of the activities I really liked doing there was 1) eating chocolate fondue 2) baking bread and 3) we went to the wildlife park in Montebello, Quebec. We were only allowed to feed the animals carrots but we weren’t allowed to feed the otter, the buffalo or the bears. I fed an albino deer, some whte-tailed deer, lots of elk, wild boar and fish. The elk, if you didn’t want them to eat your carrot, and if you closed the window to your car so they couldn’t stick their heads in, they would snot your window.

After our visit, it took eight hours to get to Grandma M’s house. We had lasagna for supper and the next morning I caught a baby frog. Later, Uncle P showed me their frog pond in the front yard. There was 11 frogs and I couldn’t count the goldfish. I caught all 11 frogs and B made sure that none of them got out of the bucket. We had a few rides in Grandma M’s yellow convertible and we got to ride on her yellow lawnmower. One night for supper we went and stayed at my dad’s uncle’s house. We had almost the exact same thing for supper as we had for lunch, except for one had corn on the cob and cucumber salad and bbq’d sausage, not bbq’d hamburger and at dad’s uncles’ house, we had peach pie.

Right now we are on our way to Niagara Falls.
