A new waterpark for Ottawa

How cool is this? It may be minus 15C and snowy outside, but by 2009 there will be a new 100-acre water park (that’s six times the size of Mont Cascades) just a five-minute drive from here! And this is in addition to the as-yet unnamed new amusement park and water park they’re opening in Smiths Falls in 2010.

I love water parks. We make the trek out to Mont Cascades at least once a summer, and I love the idea of one being so close. And in 2009, Tristan and Simon will be just the right age to start enjoying the bigger waterslides.

The weather outside may be frightful, but suddenly I’m dreaming of streaming cold water and hot summer days!

Edited to add: see this post for new details on both new water parks.

4. Size does matter I’m not entirely sure why my boys are so big. Beloved is a perfectly average and accessible 5’10″, and while I’m tall for a girl at 5’8″, I’m hardly statuesque. My brother is a bit oversized at 6’4″, so I guess it is in our genes somewhere. My boys are...
