Day trips
Both kids had school trips to Duffin's Creek. Hadley's trip didn't need volunteers, but she had a great day and said she really enjoyed it and was able to talk easily with Easton after his trip as they had similar experiences. I was invited to go on Easton's trip. We enjoyed the day outdoors. We learned about birds of prey, and played a fantastic game of predator vs. prey where the kids actually were allowed to run through the trees and field and collect food and water stamps without being caught by their peers who could take their lives if they were not careful. So much energy and so much fun!
Then on October 28th it was a beautiful day with a temperature of 17C, so I took the kids out of school for a half day where we met up with my cousin's Natasha and Brittany and their kids at the Toronto Zoo. It was lovely! Some of the kids wore their costumes, some not. The kids all got along, their was space for everyone to run if they wanted to as their were no crowds and we enjoyed the day catching up. We were so close when we were kids and it was easy to pick up as if no time had passed.
We need to try to get together again soon and not let so much time pass between visits.
