We just entered Quebec, and we are headed to Montreal for two days. Tim has a rest day tomorrow, as well as a hospital visit this afternoon. The hospital visit and media even in Ottawa went great! A group called "Elgins Guard" came from Ottawa to Smith Falls to meet with Tim, they then escorted him to CHEO, and then to the media event. At CHEO, Tim met lots of great kids. I was able to spend some time talking with two little girls, who were both very excited to get a bracelet from Shannon and Abby back in Alberta. They loved them girls!! One of the little girls at the hospital, Morgan, had a beautiful crown on her head, she infact was a real princess, and I informed her that I had never actually met one before. She was so cute.
There is nothing cooler than seeing Tim ride through a tunnel of kids holding up their hockey sticks. Not only that, but they were doing it in honor of little Elgin, and the thousands of kids dealing with Cancer in Canada. The support Tim had at that event was so amazing. Hundreds of people showed up! He even got a new bike!!
After the event we went to stay at the Nelsons house! Jerry, Tim's brother is married to an awesome girl named Amy, whose parents (The Nelsons) invited us to stay at their place. What a warm welcoming couple. Mrs. Nelson even cut my hair! It was neat to stay in Amy's house, we had a great time.
Now we are on our way to Montreal as I said before...looking forward to having a day to just chill and get things done. {Not that I don't do that every day... ;) }
