For our third Tuesday activity, we went to Marcel Lalande Park to play and splash. This was actually our Plan D. As with the rest of the world, covid-19 shut down Ottawa in the middle of March. In the middle of May we had phase 1 reopening, so I could see my fertility doctor. In the middle of June we had phase 2 reopening, so I could see my hair stylist. In the middle of July we had phase 3 reopening, which we thought meant everything would reopen with restrictions in place. We had planned to go to Calypso water park. Mont Cascade water park in Quebec opened, but alas Calypso in Ontario was not allowed to open after all. We were so bummed! The pools and parks were opened back up though, so we made a reservation to swim at Splash Pool. Later that afternoon, they called to tell us the pool would be shut for the remainder of the day for maintenance. Ugh! We decided to go to Cardinal Creek park to play, but when we arrived it was jam-packed! I mean, it was more crowded than it had ever been before the global pandemic. People are crazy! We are not, and we left as quickly as we arrived. We decided to visit the little park in our old neighborhood and we had it almost completely to ourselves. The kids had fun playing in the water and sand, and we all enjoyed being outside!
Family fun days are the best (even when you go with Plan D)!
