Spring Break crept up on us quickly but as a family we made plans to enjoy the local life.
Sunday - started with us hanging out with the neighbourhood kids in the yard. Great times and it always creates lasting memories. Then of course a family bike ride.
Monday - began with cold winds and we joined the community for entertainment at the Ontario Hydro plant. There we had a hay ride, hot chocolate, popcorn, and egg hunt and a bird feeder craft. The kids loved it and we were joined by Damon, Liam and Landon.
Tuesday - was supposed to rain as well, so we started the morning at the hockey rink for a Free skate. We love the free events. And we finished the day at the local pool, not to forget mommy and daddy screaming as they went down the slide.
Wednesday - we headed for ROM, Royal Ontario Museum. Awsome, no other word. They put on a fantastic program through Spring Break and we entered the corridor with Pterodactyl bones flying above, one of the largest Diamond exhibits to our left, real Medieval Knights in Costume and the Earth Rangers in a theatre where a Bald Eagles ropes from his talons brushed my hair. Definitely deserves a return next year! The kids and Adam also had their first Train ride home from the city with Subway cars and all. I took the younger two home fro a snooze in the van.
Thursday - Looked bright so we headed to the zoo with Grama and Grampa. We're looking forward to the Kid Zoo opening, but we loved and needed the fresh air.
Pics taken by Cassia and Kianna included!
Friday - ended our busy week at Purple Woods for the Maple Syrup Festival. Nana joined us as we licked our Maple Suckers and learned about the woods through story tellers and guides. There was a game in the woods, Pioneers there to help us twist and make 2ft of rope, and more bird feeders to make. We left with Maple popcorn and fresh syrup to mix with Aunt Heathers homemade pancakes. Yum!
Sabbath - definitely love that day, and then we drove to Keaton and Ryleas to visit and snuggle 4wk old lab pups. Great memories.
Yes, this post was outdated, but was too cute not to share. Thanks for reading!
