Canada's Wonderland - revisited


Another Wednesday morning dawned - but not bright and not early this time. The sky was overcast, threatening rain. Simone checked the weather report twice. No question about it. There was a 100% chance of rain that day.

"Are you sure you want to go to Canada's Wonderland today?" She asked little B. "We could go to the Coin des petits instead, if you'd like..."

But little B only wanted to go to Canada's Wonderland. So, sighing, Simone packed raincoats, rainboots and slightly warmer clothes for their outing. Only when they got to Wonderland, the sun was peeking out and the temperature had risen several degrees. Simone left the raincoats in the car, reasoning that their warmer clothing would do the trick.

The line-ups that day were non-existent. Little B got to climb onto nearly every ride immediately. It was a hoot!

Sadly, every story has an end and this one, following two grandiose wins of pump the car up to the top of the pole faster than everyone else on the ride, finished in a cloud of rain. Little B insisted on two more rides but soon became soaked to the skin as the rain intensified.

The two of them headed for the parking lot, wet and strangely content. It's not every day that you get to go on all the rides without waiting!
