1 Week in Canada

Sorry this is so late!

So I am now one week into my holiday here. Some days have been busy and great while others the "hangout" days have been less great. Micah arrived on Thursday in London Ontario at 11pm, after a great day in Toronto including dinner at Moxie's (the steakhouse and grill equivalent to hooters) with my parents session mates (their friends that trained with them at the training college) it was a fun night. Friday we started off with a slow morning but by noon uncle Ron and aunt Judi had arrived and the boys went out to play catch. The day ended with grandma and grandpa; mom and dad; Micah and I going to a London Majors' baseball game. It was a great game and the four boys in front of us added to the entertainment along with the guy just behind yelling things at the opposing team such as "you're as slow as when you played" (directed at the 1st base coach), "You're limping, now you're limping" (at the opposing batter who pulled his muscle sprinting) and finally "how did that feel ump?" (Directed at the first base umpire who got hit by a ball). Saturday not much happened, we went to a thrift store, I didn't find anything, in the evening Micah and I went to watch The Wolverine. Today we went to Woodstock Ontario corps and visited Bill and Sue O'Neil ate burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob and pie. Fun day.

Finally Canada

After a 23 hour day, I finally arrived in London Ontario at my Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was a long day but it was fun. Security in the States makes everyone feel like a criminal, however the boarder patrolman did not ask one serious question. His were directed at what sports I like the teams I support, perhaps because I am Canadian, but if this were the case why do I have to stand in the international passports line? Why can't Canadians simply go into the U.S citizen line where there are an entirety of 12 people, in the time I worked my way to the end of the international line. It took me from 2:30 to 16:30 to get from my airplane to my next flight's gate. But at long last I arrived safely in London, Ontario. I am now visiting with my father's parents, next week I will be with my mother's family in Michigan. In twenty days I will finally be with Sara again, it has felt much longer than four weeks. Looking forward to all that we have planned.
