Movember

Little A has some father's from his hockey team supporting Movember.  After practice on Saturday, we had the opportunity to take some cute pictures.  Andrew's team had all the children on the team put on fake mustaches.  The boys in my family all tried it on.


 
Little A said to D "You look like Grandad"

 
 
Have a great week!

Week of fun with D!!

Little A started school this week, and D and I had a week to be together and do a lot of fun stuff.

We had fun at the Aviation Museum.






We went to the cool observation area and watched small planes taking off.
 
Upper Canada Village
 


 
D loved the blacksmith the best.

   



 
All the machines are powered by water.
 
We also spent some time at the Agriculture Museum.
 
 

 
When we first saw these ducklings they were able to sit in the palm of our hands.

 
 D really loved the rooster.
 
We had a great week.  Little A had a great first week.  He really loves his new class.

Summer Fun!!

The boys and I rode the O-train.  They loved it so much we did it again with A as well.


 
We were the first to get on the train and got to ride in the very top seats.

D was a little unsure about being that high.  Little A loved it.
 
 
A loved the ride as well.  We were also able to go to the top of the lighthouse while we were there.

Bobby Orr and Hockey Fun Festival for D

D took part in two on ice sessions.



When Bobby Orr saw a goalie on the ice, he called D over to talk to him.  Bobby talked to D about the importance of working on being a great skater to be a great goalie.
(Bobby is on the bench)


Chicken toss.  They tossed chickens at D trying to score.  He had a lot of fun doing this.



In the second on ice they had a game at the end.  D was in his glory.

We had three sessions with Bobby as parents.  He had lunch with the kids, answering questions and talking about responsibility and respect. 


He signed D's jersey and we got a picture with Bobby Orr and D and A


I got in for one of the pictures.


This was an amazing day.

Train ride to Smith Falls

A took the boys on a train ride to Smith Falls

 





We took the boys to the train museum.  It was closing so we just saw what we could.









D loved the cabooses.  We will have to do this again.
