Sunday and Monday were the greatest days we have ever known in the year 2017. With temperatures around 40 degrees Celcius with the humidity, it was time to have some fun in the sun!
Luckily, I had been procrastinating the seasonal hot tub cleaning. What better way to do it then outside in a scorching hot day?
With the goal of a pool in my mind’s eye, I scrubbed that hot tub and started filling it up. I even put a second hose into it as it wasn’t filling up fast enough for my liking! I was literally losing daylight as I watched the 4,000litres of water slowly fill this awesome vessel which provides fun and entertainment for all.
While I filled the hot tub, Sierra was having fun with Tante Andréane who showed up for a few days before she heads out to Portugal with her parents. Sierra got to open a few gifts from Tante Anne-Marie and Andréane and one of the was a sprinkler with little grubs sticking out of them. I find it ironic that I went to war with some grubs on my lawn earlier this month and now they are back in sprinkler form!
Sierra didn’t really know what to make of the sprinkler. While we think she enjoyed it, she also wasn’t screaming in laughter. Maybe the water was too cold?
Either way, it just paved the way to the main event….the cool tub was ready for the summer!
It was 78 degrees when the cool tub finally finished filling up but I put the temperature up for Sierra to hang out in.
I’m glad I remembered the rubber ducky that Maureen had brought us! It was time to put this thing in action! I was winded after blowing it up but it was totally worth it. Sierra loved it!
Seeing that Monday was also going to be a scorcher, some last minutes plans to go to Calyspo Water Park took shape. Vero and I both got the afternoon off thanks to our super accomodating managers and we met up with Andréane who thought she was a loser for going alone to the water park. I think the only losers are the people who didn’t bother going! It was a fantastic day….40 degrees, no lineups at all, plenty of space to swim in the wave pool….I even managed to surf on my flutter board in the lazy river for pretty much the entire length! I have to say that I’m glad Vero convinced me to go on some rides…I had gone before with Evan, Anne-Marie and Vero and I was scared for my life, but we found some less scary ones that were great fun!
Greatest two days of the summer!
