A Trip to the Big City

Last week when Scott was on holidays we went to Toronto for the day. The forecast was a bit questionable but we gave it a go anyways. We had a gift card for a harbour tour from Mariposa Cruises (thanks Mom and Dad) and wanted to use it before the end of the season. So we headed in and hoped for the best.

3 kids waiting while daddy parked the van.
Oops. We parked kinda far away.
Our boat, the Oriole.
It was pretty hazy that day.
I'd like to do this tour someday!
Trying to capture the CN Tower...but with Norah posing.
On the boat!
Norah too.
City skyline.
Looking back
Oh Norah.
 The tour was pretty neat. We learned lots about the Toronto Islands and saw parts of the island we hadn't seen before. The kids really like the boat ride too!

It was REALLY dark when the tour was over so we went back to the van to eat lunch and to figure out what to do. We had bought ferry tickets online the night before and didn't want to waste them but it seemed really stormy. After eating we decided to just do it. It poured rain as we rode the ferry over to the island and when we got off, there were so many waiting to get on to escape the weather. We stood under a shelter and eventually, the rain stopped and the skies cleared! Off to Centreville we went...

Picking out what to ride on the carousel.
So big.

Creepy pig...I've never seen a pig on a carousel before.
Hi!

Jacob being bossy.
Finally in control himself.
She's a ride junkie. 
Logan tried out the roller coaster!
Hi again!
Jacob and I waiting for the others.
Riding the swans.
Ring pops on the ferry ride home.
It was a fabulous day! So glad we risked the weather.
