Trip to Ontario to visit













I had the opportunity to go to Ontario twice this summer. The first reason/excuse was that my cousin was getting married. The second was that one of my best friends was hauling his family over from Israel. Yay!! I think it had been 6 years?!
My flight was early - 5:40 AM - nice sunrise, eh?


















On my first day we all went to a play and splash park near Adam's house - most of the kids had fun, except Liam, he fell and hurt himself, and, well didn't do much for the rest of the time at the park. We were down by a marina, it was nice to be near the water.


















We disobeyed the signs, and fed the seagulls anyway. Here is Sa'ar with his youngest, Ely.
It was nice to spend some quality time with everyone, especially the kids - I feel I know them better now. Day 2 led us to an indoor Ball themed activity centre - the kids and the adults had a great time - it was also Liam's 5th birthday!













Here is Ben, Adam's oldest. Lots of energy! Wonderful kid.













...and here is Sam, very friendly and lots of smiles!


















On the second last day (day 3) we went to another park (its all about the kids - I should know!) Here is a shot os Sa'ar and Liam.













I would have to say that this would be a typical shot of Sa'ar and Adam - deep in discussion - Sa'ar not believing any of it! ;


















An improptu family shot including the previously unseen Hagit!













And finally - the 3 of us - met in high school - still friends 20 years, and 6 (almost 8) kids later, and thousands of miles apart. This weekend showed me that we have all gone our seperate ways, and matured differently - but make no mistake we are still great friends - best friends.
