Huge Open Market ...

January 9, 2016

We decided to go to Traders Village ...

a large open market with lots of items and things to do ...

It was a very chilly day ... 50 degrees F (10 C) ...

Once we had walked around and checked everything out ...

it was time for the boys to have some fun ...

on the amusement park rides ...

One of the favourite rides for the boys was the "Bouncer" ...

(It is a no-holds-barred experience that lifts its riders to the top of a 28-foot high tower.

The riders then free-fall to earth only to be lifted up and dropped again and again.)

They went on this ride numerous times ...

Off to the next ride ... the Helicopter and then the Scrambler with daddy ...

Daigen loves the bumper cars ... "Freddy's Fender Bender" ...

(fourteen bumper cars feature dual joy-stick controls to spin 360

degrees, turn left or right, go forward or backward.

Always fun to bump your buddy.)

Nixon was not tall enough yet to go on them at this time ...

The boys and I went on the train around Trader's Village for our last ride of the day ...

It was time to head back home as a storm was brewing ...

and we did not want to get caught in the downpour on the highways ...

Once we were closer to home ...

we went out for dinner at ... "Hasta la Pasta" ...

we had an amazing appetizers and Italian dishes ...

We had a wonderful day and we were ready to sit down and relax ...
