Preschool Summer Break Week 1

With more than 2 full weeks before Patrick and Finn 

get out of school for the summer, Sully and I had 

his first week of summer vacation together.

On Tuesday, Sully road his bike to Noah's Art 

and we met Emma for some art fun!

 Wednesday we spent the day with Ashton.  

First, we went to Squirrel Lake park for playtime with Drew and Evan.

 These 4 super cool dudes had a blast throwing rocks into the lake 

and rule the playground with their super heros.

 Thursday, Sully and I took the train uptown to Imaginon.

 We enjoyed storytime (with bubbles or course)

 and then explored the new Storybook exhibit.

Sully climbed the beanstalk, like Jack...

and created his own storybook about a Giant. 

 We ended our visit with a puppet show!

 After the boys got home from school, the Callow boys 

joined us at the pool for swim and dinner time 

(before the thunderstorm chased us back home!)

Friday started off with a wonderful  breakfast at the elementary school

This breakfast was hosted by the staff for the parent volunteers and included performances by the choir. 

Gill met us at breakfast, after finishing off with the hawk dads.  It's certainly not the reason we help at the school, but the breakfast was very much appreciated.

 After breakfast, Sully and I met Athena, Sebastian and Melissa at Cold Blooded Encounters.

Melissa and I had never been there before, but it promised reptile encounters, a zoo and nature center.

Maybe this picture will help explain, what WE encountered.  That's right, Sully in the bathroom WITH TURTLES in the tub!!!  We left laughing, it certainly was an experience.  (sully announced:  "This place freaks me out, I want to go" - and that about summed it up)

 After we left, we headed to a local library, for puppet shows, stories, games and fun.

What a great way to start the summer!
