Stop Description: Anne and George visit Lakeport Park in Port Dalhousie, Ontario, with Mrs. MacTavish; they talk about their day as they prepare to head home.
[Children are in bathing suits, holding towels rolled up.]
Anne: This has been a swell day! At home, all the beaches are closed because of the war.
George: I fancied the roller coaster most, or maybe the waterslide! [points to boat] Look, there’s the boat, The SS Dalhousie City. I heard a lady call this place Port Dal-HOO-see — what a funny way to say it.
Anne: Oh! I don’t wish to leave now! May we ride the carousel just one more time? I bet I could sit on the lion!
Mrs. MacTavish: No dear, the boat won’t wait forever! We must be on our way.
George: I think I fancy that game they were playing this afternoon. What was it called?
Anne: Baseball. That man told you he played when he was a boy; maybe you can learn how once we get to Vancouver.
George: It was more fun than cricket. Ouch. My tummy hurts a bit.
Anne: Probably from all the hotdogs and sweets you ate! I am glad I got a taffy apple instead.
