Destination: Bayfield

We were fortunate enough to spend the day/night with our friends at their cottage. The weather was just beautiful! It was so warm that the kids were actually complaining that it was too hot out! I don't think so kids! No way are you going back inside!

The first two photos are from the morning...

...but we spent the majority of the day outside.

En route to the beach. I didn't take any photos
there because I always seem to get sand in my camera!

Making cardboard tube animals. Step 1 - painting the tubes.

We'll get to Step 2 another day!

My kids spent a lot of time on the trampoline!

We all had a fantastic time!

March Break Stuff

There are a lot of free activities happening in the area for March break! If you know where to look, you can find lots of neat activities. The local library has a bunch of free things happening all week. The only thing I had to do was get tickets the week before (thanks for getting ours Fona). We saw a juggler today and I think the kids thoroughly enjoyed watching him!











What have you been up to this break?

Treasures From The Shed

I had "sorting bags" in my classroom when I used to teach grade 1. Another teacher passed them on to me and they have been sitting in my shed for 8 years. I finally dug them out and gave them to the kids. It was the quietest I have seem them in days as they worked together to sort out the items.

The kids wanted me to take photos of each pile!

That is a LOT of extra junk to have in the house - right when I am trying to get rid of stuff like that! But I will hang onto the stuff for awhile yet. We have some other activities in mind. Stay tuned!

It Was Too Much Hiking

We had a fantastic walk along the Grand River today. All 3 kids complained and whined before we left saying that they didn't want to go. My response? I reminded them of all the fun things we were going to do this week that I don't want to do, but I will do because of them.

Wouldn't you know it - once we actually got to the trail the kids loved it, just as I knew they would. I even heard Heather say, "I love hiking".















As I tucked Lauchy in tonight I told him that my favourite part of today was the hike. Not for Lauchy, though. He said, "My two bones were almost going to crack". "Why?" I asked. Lauchlan said, "It was too much hiking".
