Day 2

Happy Father's Day!!  Sunday,  June 19, 2016

Today we relaxed at Sherkston Shores RV Resort. The kids enjoyed swimming, water slides, bike riding and free play. We made a trip to the local grocery store for the weeks food after we treated dad to lunch at Boston Pizza for Father's Day. We did some evening fishing and grilled shrimp and chicken over open fire. That's all folks!

Vosslings Adventure Part 2 -Day 1

Day 1

Our Adventure began Saturday,  June 18, 2016 at 6am

We got up about 4:30am and prepared for our Illinois departure at 5:30am..... or 6 haha!

First stop..... drum roll please......

SHERKSTON- ONTARIO, CANADA

We had a 10 hour drive ahead of us. Destination- SHERKSTON SHORES CAREFREE RV RESORT in Sherkston-Ontario Canada. 12 hours later.... we arrived at our destination!

As we pulled into the park, the kids were SO excited about the park amenities that they saw; waterslides, game rooms, food, pools, splash pads, beaches, tennis courts, basketball courts, mini golf, ohhhh and lots and lots of golf carts! There was plenty of fun to be had! First things first so we made our way around the park and set up the RV for our weeks stay. We introduced ourselves to our new neighbors and they told us we arrived just in time for fireworks right outside our back door. BONUS! We quick grabbed some dinner at the park Restaurant, Boston Pizza, and headed back for the fireworks.

-On a side note-
I spent the last couple of weeks planning meals and pre-cooking. I froze many items to be used along the way. While preparing the RV we found out that we couldn't take certain items over the boarder into Canada. This includes; meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy and a few other items. EEEKKK! Thats my whole list! So, our perishables went to a better home and my frozen meals will be there when we get home. We set off without much in the way of food. We didn't want to chance them pitching everything. So as we crossed the border, their only concern was if us American's were packing any guns... (end side note)

Day 27

INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

July 4, 2015

Happy 4th of July!! Today we had an activity filled day ahead. We arrived bright and early ready for events ahead. We tried to round up our kids that stayed over night with some cousins. There was a bit of a circus planned today. There were some clowns, face painting, fishing, games, prizes and scavenger hunt. The kids all had a blast with clowns Caleb and Liz playing a game with a parachute. I really enjoyed seeing the big cousins take over some of the entertainment for our little ones.

The afternoon was filled with so many fun activities including our traditional gigantic firetruck water slide. The water slide is usually the "do not miss" event for the kids.  The fishing contest is also moving up on the list of events. I loved fishing this year. I started off by myself and ended up with 5 groupies under the age of 10. Love my parental duties. I really enjoyed this years reunion because there is a new generation on kiddos running around and it was fun to learn about them all.

Later we had our hayride from Uncles farm back to Picnic Point were we love to fish and sing and cook up some good ol' burgers on the grill. At Picnic Point we love to take our time fishing and working on our best catch for the contest. During our hayride, it turns into a hay throwing fight between the 2 tractors. It really is a big hay mess but it certainly is fun by all!

The big kids hung back and Chandler slept in a tent in the yard at the radio station WJLY while Carmen slept at her Aunties. We drove to St. Louis where we spent the evening with my parents for the night.
