Last weekend , I had spent my first Victoria Day in Canada. We had 3 days to take a rest or take a trip. I wanted to go out for a trip. Since I did not drive, it was not convenient for my family to go out on a trip. At last, after I have discussed with my wife, we decided to go to my sister's house to celebrate the weekend together. I have two sisters in Toronto. I called them and discussed together. They were all happy and agreed with me.
On the morning of the Victoria Day, I got up early. My wife prepared some food and fruits. My kids also got up early because they were so excited. Around 9 o'clock, my older sister's husband drove to my apartment and took us to another sister's home. So we saved about $10 on travel.
We arrived at my sister's home at 9:30 a.m. It was about 20 minutes' drive way from my apartment. When we arrived, my kids were so excited because they met their cousins. They were so happy to meet again and they played on the garden. There is a big garden in the back of the house. And my sister planted some vegetables in the garden. We ate the freshest vegetables. They were so delicious.
ChongChong, my sister's son, prepared some balloons and ice cream for today's party. He had bought some groceries the day before. He also was so excited. His mother told us that since he knew that we were coming, he had been excited for these days.
We had a hearty lunch. And we had the freshest vegetable for lunch. Because these vegetables were planted on the garden, they were so delicious that I still could not forget the smell and taste. After the lunch, we all sit around in the garden and ate sunflower seeds. We had a long talk under the shade of the tree. It was a good and happy time for us to get together and talk.
Time went by so quickly. It was soon time for us to leave. But my children did not want to leave. They were so happy to get together. So we decided that we would come to my apartment next weekend, and we could have a hot pot together.
