Me: Go stand by the cannon so I can take your picture.
Ben: But Mummy! I'm not allowed to do that! Can't you see there's a chain around it?!
Me: It's okay.
Ben: really?
Me: Yes.
Ben: Are you sure?

March break day trip to Niagara Falls

We went to the butterfly conservatory, rode on the skywheel and went down to the falls. the weather was great

Black Creek Pioneer Village visit

I loved going to this place when I was little. I always had a great time weather I was going with my family or on a field trip with school.
Ben's two favorite things were the mill and the water pump. (check out the hip action!)

I enjoyed the sheep, and also the mill. Ben tried his hand at combing out the raw wool (fresh from the sheep) and probably would have sat there doing it for hours if I had let him .

This is Actually under the mill house, you can see all the gears turning and get a really good idea of how the water wheel makes everything work. It was really interesting.

We also had a great time seeking out outhouses.

And looking in all the barrels out side the barrel makes.

Good times, I'm sure we'll go again soon.

Lovely lovely weather and out of doors fun!

The first two are from Saturday when we went exploring in the park. As you can see Ben enjoys large sticks and big rocks.
Also here is the lovely picnic (first of the season) that we had today.
