Summer Holidays PART 1

Last week was the first of our 2 weeks of summer holidays this years. Last week was spend in Collingwood with my family, and the next, in August will be spent at Curt's family's cottage.
The weather was beautiful. We sure did luck out!!! It was HOT, HOT, HOT. Not to complain, but it was almost too had to do anything. Thank god that is exactly what we did. It was a week of rest and relaxation.
My parents have a time share in Collingwood, so that is where our week was spent. We decided last year when we took a family trip to Virginia that we would make it an annual event, and every other year we would make it a big trip. This year was our off year, so it was spent by the pool in Ontario.
Jaxon spent a lot of time swimming, and learning to do it by himself. He was not all too fond of the water wings, but one he realized when he had them on he could swim by himself he did not mind having them on.
Jaxon even got the luxury of learning how to be a 'farm kid' by riding around on the resort in the back of gampy's truck. I was amazed that we got him to go in his car seat when we had to travel on the highways. He had his own chair set up in the back, and was pretty much the king of the resort!!!Jaxon was his busy self for the week, while the rest of us sat around and watched him use up all his energy. There seemed to be an endless supply of it though. He did get his aunty Cara to take him on a walk daily pretty much, and him and I went out for a bike ride a couple of times. Habby even got to come along for the ride.One night we made our way to the village over at Blue Mountain. It was gorgeous over there. The last time I was there was when I was a kid, and you would never know that it was the same place. There are little streets lined with stores to shop at, or restaurants with patios on them that you could enjoy a drink or an meal.There was a little man made lake there which people could fish off, and Jaxon loved looking of the edge of it to try to see some fish..... and he liked messing up the neatly arranged life sized checkers board.We also spend a morning over a Blue Mountain at the splash pool there. There was a lot of stuff young kids to do, but not so much the older. I remember when I was a kid there was the great slide ride, and wonderful water slides at Blue Mountain. Not any more. This is the extent of the water slide:We did not have to worry about Jaxon hurting his self thought. He did attempt to go down the slide one time by himself, but he flipped over on the turn, and from there on in whoever he went to the top with he held onto for dear life until he knew they were coming down with him. As soon as you took off from the tip, he was screaming with excitement....he LOVED it.It was a good holiday. Rest, Relaxation and great time spent with family...what more could you ask for during the lazy days of summer.
