The weather today is definitely not springlike. In fact, it feels like winter is returning with a vengeance. What a change from last week when we had balmy conditions. For those of who stayed put during the March Break, it was wonderful to know we didn't have spend lots of dollars to have a sunny vacation. Mommy and Daddy also took a few days off to enjoy the warm weather and to partake in some March Break activities with the rugrats.
There was a trip to the sugar bush at Bronte Creek to learn how maple syrup is made. It probably wasn't a true experience since we were lacking the snow and cold. But it was great to dine on pancakes, sausages, bacon and of course, maple syrup, while sitting at a picnic table. We went with Xander and Liam and their mom. We all tried some maple candy, went on wagon rides and checked out the whole sugaring process. The kids has a great time, and to top it off, they were allowed some free time in the barn that's been converted to a playhouse to tire themselves out completely.
There was a trip to the zoo - the real zoo, not our house. With the warm weather, there were many more animals to see. Giraffes, sleeping tigers, cougars, to name a few. Mostly, the kids were happy to have a lunch of Popsicles and beaver tails.
There was also a visit to the Ontario Science Centre which was packed with almost every single grade school student in the GTA. While our three are a little too young to understand the "science" aspect, they did enjoy KidsPark, the children's area. We also had Auntie Grace join us that day. With one adult per child, it made keeping track of the little ones a lot easier. We ended that day with well-deserved meal at Duff's, our favorite wing joint.
All in all, it was a great week, and a great way to tire out the monkeys!
