Centreville Trip, Part Two

So here we are again with part two of our trip to Centreville. This time, the gang and I got in the 'Barrel Of Monkeys' ride with Sammy's Mom, Liz. As you can see, all of us we're pretty excited.
















Here's another shot of us on the big water ride (the official name escapes me) and I was actually quite surprised at how fast it went. But I am fearless, and with a little support from Sammy's Dad Ailey, went on my first big kid ride. What a rush!







And to round out the day, I went for a little spin on a old jalopy. I'm well on my way to getting my G1!

Well that is it for now. See you soon for pics and stories from Dad's 37th Birthday this coming weekend.

Love JD :)

Trip to Centreville

      

Hey Everyone,

Recently some friends and I took our parents to Centreville, located on Toronto Island. It's a magical spot with carnival rides, pastoral picnic grounds and luscious trees. A favourite destination for tourists, Toronto Island boosts access to little cafes, an outdoor frisbee golf course and there is even a nude beach!

The pic above was taken on the historic Centreville Merry-Go-Round. There are wonderful details to behold and the artistry, painting and attention to restoration is impressive. They have Jack Rabbits and Elephants and Ostriches. I chose to ride a Tiger, for obvious reasons. Below is my new 'cheese' face for mug shots, taken on the Ferry.                                                                                  

 
 This next pic is of me and some of my buddies waiting for and then getting on the Tea Cup ride. We were stirred but not shaken.




Here is me and Dad waiting to get on the Train ride. I was quite happy despite the look on my face. A second later we were growling at the camera but the pic didn't turn out so great. And speaking of turning out great, Dad has confessed that he has been having problems with the blogger program and apologizes for the layout of this post and the fact it's a week or so late. Look out for part two in a few days.
