A great day at Purple Woods Conservation Area with the family. We saw sap coming out of the trees, went on a horse drawn wagon ride, made some crafts, went on a hike, and enjoyed some sugar maple candy. It was such a nice outdoor day. Muddy, but still just plain good family fun.
Then tonight was Earth Hour. Hadley had been talking about it and was excited for it. We turned out the lights, brushed teeth by flashlight, read a book by flash light, made shadow puppets (laughed like crazy especially when Brian said " make... a rhinoceros"), then we grabbed a blanket and tuned into the Leafs game on the battery operated radio.

OH... we also stopped in at WhiteFeather in the town of Raglan. It is like a small St. Jacobs Market. We were lured in by the free "hold a spring chicken". The kids got to hold baby chicks that were two days old.
$30 later we left with our goods. (Pork chops, butter tarts, fudge, and soup mix pre-cut vegetables). I could have spent a lot longer in here and I will definitely go back!
