Had a Blast!

We are back from Disney World!  It was awesome.  I am so thankful that we stayed the extra week.  The first week was so busy trying to fit in all the parks - it was go, go, go!  It was so HOT.  The temperature stayed around 26/86 and the last day we were at the water park and we hit a new record there of 33/92!  It was so nice.  Hard to come back to cold weather.  At least there was no snow.

Second week we rented a house and of course spent more than planned as we decided to go to the water parks and Universal (weather helped with the decision).  It was worth it but WOW, I never realized how expensive everything was.  But we figured we would probably never be back again anytime soon and didn't want to regret not doing some things.  We would make a sack full of sandwiches and snacks to bring with us so we didn't have to buy anything at the parks.  But the admission to these places are unbelievable - especially for a family of eight!

So this week I am having to sell off some stocks.  I hate having to do it but when we first opened up our TFSA one of the plans we had for it was so that we could save money in it (yes, and make MORE) so that when we did this holiday we would have to money to pay for it.  Still it is hard to sell off the stocks (one of them is my gold stocks GBG) that has finally been doing well.  But my attitude is "at least I have it to sell".

Of course when it rains it pours.  Hubby's car needed some expensive repairs and 3rd daughter found out she has some major issues with her teeth and ortho needs to be done ASAP.  *SIGH* tis life.  Just makes me so thankful that we have a plan in place.

So for now, I am searching for some new high dividend stocks for our RRSP account since we sold our SNC stock.  Will have to do some research this week/month.

For now playing catch up...on everything.
