Did you see the pigs flying in the sky last week? I did - Angie and Nik finally made it to Ottawa ;) Of course they make it long after I left Canada but was I going to let them get away with that? Hell no - left here on Friday afternoon and left Ottawa again on Monday but packed a whole lot of visiting in that short time and it was totally worth the drive!!

Got to Ottawa around 815 on Friday night - hung out catching up for almost 4 hours! Saturday we left the girls with my mom and Parker, Nik, Angie, Dad and I did the touristy thing in Ottawa for Nik and Angie.

It was a gorgeous and warm day so I did what anyone would do - found a sprinkler and ran through it :) Got a nice round of applause from people lounging in the park - it felt great!

Got home and Lisa and the family came over for a big group BBQ.

Just before bed Angie and Nik gave Rowan and Lily presents to remind them of Canada and of Angnd Nik. We tried to convince the girls to call the moose Angie and Nik but Rowan insisted hers was named Wally. ???

Sunday morning Nik and Angie left even with all our requests for them to stay . Booooo. I hope we see each other sooner rather than later next time - our doors are always open to them when they want to check out Philly or maybe we meet in NYC or even Disney like we discussed :)

So with our last day and another sunny and hot one we went to Calypso Water Park - a total blast! It was a great place - Russ' work was having a company picnic there which was cool cause then we were all there again for the day. My camera took a drink in the lazy river and was ruined but I was able to save the memory card thankfully! After 7 hours at the park it was time to take our sore and sunned bodies back home.
