Day One found us on the road early for an effortless replay of last month's marathon journey to Ye Olde Ottawa Valley. The boys napped a bit--and I stress, a bit--but stirred just in time for us to reach Belleville and the ever-welcoming A&W franchise.

The boys were surprised, and delighted, to see that aunt Wendy had joined the fun, too. After reacquainting themselves with the many toys, bikes, and new additions--like the twin wading pools--the boys would find themselves witness to their first ever massive power outage, which would give their first night a dramatic turn...
