Nature at its best!

 We headed out to the Conversation Park last Sunday and brought Steph along with us.

The kids had a blast exploring, hiking, playing games 

and discovering animals and different kinds of trees!

 The kids loved climbing this tree.. such a cute picture!

 I'm not sure who screamed louder me or Steph!

Yikes a snake!

This spooky swamp area reminded us all of the 

haunted woods in Anne of Green Gables!

We had a great time and this is something we need to do more often!!

Love it!

Weekend in the City!

 We headed to the big city for a weekend with friends!  We stayed at the Royal York, with upgraded rooms and a treat delivered to our door (Thank you Brookers!)

Before the Jays game we headed to Steam Whistle for a tour!  We were all really impressed with the tour and the guys enjoyed the free beer :)

 

The gang heading to the Jays game!

 

9th inning... posing after the Jays made a come back, 

only to lose in the 11th inning!

 After the Jays game, we hopped on the subway and went to Greek Town for dinner!

 It is nice to get away, but even nicer to get away with friends!

Sweet Potatoe Fries and Chiptloe Mayo

Just a little bit addicted to these Sweet Potatoe fries and Chiptloe Mayo!

 

Pinterst Fun for Tony.... and Griffin too!

 

I found this tent on Pinterest and I knew Griffin would love it!  He is a fort builder!

Fortunately, Tony was on board.  Who knew, Tony would be a Pinterester too :)

 

Here is the finished tent!  Griffin loved it!

 

Acceptance, Love, Peace, Change

 

Our school board supported Anti Bullying day on Friday by wearing pink tshirts!

Our school sold over 400 shirts and students showed up ready to take a stand against bullies.  Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and over the Internet. Each year, on Pink T-Shirt Day, we can show our support by wearing pink.

 

Although this picture doesn't show it, Owen was pumped to wear  his pink shirt to school, and well Griffin was thrilled it wasn't his school day and he didn't have to wear pink :)

 

NKOTB Disappointment!

I headed to the NKOTB mall appearance yesterday with my friend Cassandra. We waited for over two hours, they were over an hour late and they graced us with 15 minutes of their time....seriously???

Four questions, no singing, only autographs for those with wristbands, and the realization that it might be time to move on... big emphasis on might!  

As for the company.... a great time!  Thanks Cassandra!
