End of Summer 2011

Before Ethan started JK, we ended summer with a trip to the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) and the Fantasy Fair. At the CNE, Ethan and mom watched a figure skating show while Joanna had her afternoon nap. Ethan particularly enjoyed the show as he says ice skating is one of his favorite things to do. At the beginning of September, we went to the Markham children festival where Joanna and Ethan enjoyed a number of adventures. Ethan didn't seem to mind being surrounded by goats. He also enjoyed climbing up and sliding down those giant inflatable slides. Joanna, on the other hand, was a little intimidated by the animals and plays. She rather stuck to the familiar slides and sandbox. We also celebrated grandma's birthday and enjoyed a french-styled birthday cake!
