"O Canada!"...what a blast it was. Sha has officially met her Canadian side of the family and loved every minute of it. She did great during the very long car ride (thanks to the DVD player we bought, excellent purchase:). We first arrived at Colin and Cheryl's and stayed there for a few nights. Our first day together we went to Niagara Falls and Sha loved it. When we arrived we first took her to the Rain Forest Cafe which was a real treat for her, she loved the thunderstorms and all the different animals. After that we went to this arcade where we all somehow became a kid again. She went on her first scary ride with ShuShu Colin and then her, Colin and Paul all went into this "walking" haunted house in which terrified the heck out of her. We played skeeball, shot water guns and anything else we could shoot to get her tickets for a prize. At the end, all 5 of us had enough tickets that we thought would get her the biggest prize of all......well we all know how that goes, 1 million dollars later she ended up with a frog that comes in a cup that you can add water to and watch it turn into a prince over 72 hours-woohoo:) It was all worth it though. We also had a great jam session with Colin and Cheryl's awesome friends who we adore dearly. Sha felt very comfortable singing and playing the guitar. I think Nick enjoyed that the most:) It was also great to see the Tully's who are expecting their first baby soon. Paula looks amazing, they are such a great couple and we are so happy for them both.
After our visit we then went to Grandma Viv's where Sha was greeted to an egg hunt. Grandma Viv had a great day planned for Sha. On top of the egg hunt we also decorated Easter eggs and Sha and Viv made peanut butter chocolate eggs...yum in the tum tum. As we all know Sha loves to cook so that was a real treat to be able to do that with Grandma.
Later in the week we had dinner at the Clark's where Sha tried to learn Uncle Kirk's magic trick. It was a great night with games, magic and playing the piano with Abby, Sha's little cousin. She also was able to hold Robbie jr which she loved.
On Saturday Grandma Carolyn and Grandpa Mike had a party at their house where Sha finally met the rest of the family. She finally met Crystal who was a big hit, Sha didn't leave her side once they officially met. Crystal made her this amazing Barbie cake which Sha loved. The weather was beautiful and we all got to hang outside, including Callie, the other big "hit" of the week:) Oooh yes, how can I forget, Kyle brought the triplets over who are just the cutest girls ever, that was a real treat. She also hit it off with Sidney and Cole her other cousins:)
It was a great time and just a delight to see Sha welcome her new family into her heart, she truly gets the concepts of how big her new family is. Enjoy the pics.
