Tales From the Minivan

Our day started with a well needed session of “sleeping-in”.  I think we were all still asleep until 9:30-10am.  With it being that late we decided to head into Barrie to the Mazda dealer to see about our Air Conditioning in the van.  It worked perfectly the whole drive up.  Suddenly Saturday afternoon, it started blowing hot air at us.  Not so good with the second leg of the vacation coming up even further south.

 We stopped into the Mazda dealer, unfortunately he couldn’t get the van in until tomorrow morning.  Here’s to hoping it’s still covered under the extended warranty!  If not it’s worth every penny to get it fixed.

 After leaving the dealership, we hit the Old Navy store to pick up a new swimsuit for Andrew and some socks for the kids as they spotted a McDonald’s with a Play Place.  I’m sure that Ciaran is going to go into marketing.  He can spot a McDonald’s or Burger King from miles away! 

After lunch it was decided we’d drive to Wasaga Beach.  Wasaga Beach is a 14 km long white sand beach located on Georgian Bay.

For us Saint Johner’s the water was as warm as a bath!  The kids really enjoyed themselves we basically had the whole beach to ourselves as we didn’t get there until late afternoon.  Even Finn got to take his first dip in an outdoor body of water.

We got back to the condo and made Roast beef and mashed potatoes…yes I cheated and bought the precooked ones that only need to be microwaved!   The boys had another soak in the Jacuzzi and were off to bed!
