Last Tuesday I went to Centre Island in Toronto to celebrate Austin and Madeline's birthdays. For one week they are the same age then Madeline turns a year older.

Madeline and I met Geoff (my eldest son) Kiley and Austin at 10:00 a.m. and was quite a trek from there. We took a subway, streetcar and then a ferry to the island. It was a hot day in the upper 80s but the breeze was lovely on the island. From the ferry you can see part of the Toronto skyline. You can see the tall CN Tower and the white to the left is the Skydome where the sports and music events are held.

A closer look of the CN Tower.

The island wasn't very busy for some reason. We had a day pass and the kids rode the rides over and over without having to wait in lineups.
It is an antique original and here is its story.

There were water rides...

Here are Austin and Madeline getting ready for a "spin".

Austin found a butterfly and Madeline is having a closeup look...

Its a wonderful spot for picnicing and walking around to see the boats. When Geoff and Richard were small this was a favourite place to spend the day.

Here is a Carousel we rode. It is an old original carousel I quickly grabbed my favourite...the bunny.

A wonderful way to end this first vacation week and celebrate 2 special birthdays.... Judi xoxo (you know we had a full day from 10:00 a.m. - 8:30 p.m.
