Dinosaurs Alive at Canada’s Wonderland

September 5, 2017 by Deanna Tousignant 2 Comments

A few years back I took my daughter on her first trip to Canada's Wonderland and she taught me a little bit about fun, about how the merry-go-round could be every bit as exciting as the thrilling roller coaster rides and about how wonderful it is to be able to experience an amusement park through your kid's eyes. During that trip, one of the highlights of our day was … [Read more...]

May 13, 2015 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

When we walked into Canada's Wonderland on opening weekend the very first ride we went on was the Carousel. The big kid was super excited. I helped her on to one of the "moving up and down horses" and then snapped a few photos. See, happy kid, happy to be on the carousel... I swear this child begged me to ride on here, and loved it. But then there is this out take … [Read more...]

"I think a lot of kids are interested in two science subjects: dinosaurs and aliens. The reason is almost genetic; we're hard-wired to be interested in things that might be a little … [Read more...]

The Time my Five Year Old Taught Me All About Fun and Excitement, aka A Day at Canada’s Wonderland

August 23, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I was invited to bring the kids and spend the day at Canada's Wonderland, so I did something a little wacky. I grabbed my sister and my five year old daughter and we took the train to Toronto. We left at five in the morning and didn't get home until almost midnight. It was a four hour train ride, one way. G-Girl's first time on the train, which she loved. When we arrived at … [Read more...]
