new scooby-doo

I wasn't ignoring your comment Rebecca I just figured I could use it as a blog post and since I'm lazy it takes a few days to reply.

Our car didn't change from green to red. we went out and bought another Subaru. We just couldn't get by with one car any more. So now we have christmas coloured cars. 

Here is a photo of the new (and by new I mean really old but new to us) car.

Algonquin in the Fall

Took the Family camping in Algonquin. The kids absolutely loved it. When we were packing up to leave we told them that we had to go home. Max asked if after we went home if we could come back.

A shot of the car before we unpacked it.

Looking for a campsite

This one should do

 Time to set up the tent

Time to take a rest

I took each of the kids (one at a time) for a paddle and we found this little guy

Time for dinner

Woke up to this on the second day

getting warmed up for the day

The fog has lifted

Every body get in the canoe

 It's time to go exploring

Taking a break for lunch

Walking along the portage

The leaves are falling

Been a long day, I need a nap

Somebody lit the fire

That's better, nice and warm

The second morning was a beautiful bright pink sky

Time to go

We had a fantastic time and can't wait to go back.

Barton's Visit to TO

A while back the Barton's came up to visit us for a few days. We had a fantastic time while they were here and would like to extend a formal invitation for them, or any of the other readers of this blog, (even if you stumbled onto this blog by accident or don't know us) to come visit us. Thanks again Barton's for coming us to see us.

These pictures are all out of order and I can't be bothered putting them in order so skip along with us and see where we went.

Max totally ignoring the dragon behind him. He was too busy with the "info phone" telling him all about Casa Loma. 

Zach wasn't content with being at the highest floor in the tallest tower of the old home so he decided to climb up some pipes.

One last flight of stairs, come on Robert you can do it.

The long walk back down from the tower

Casa Loma (see the windows at the very top, that's where we were)

Okay before R&R say "wait a minute, we never played in the sand at the ROM" that is correct these pics were taken on a previous visit to the ROM but I decided to include them in here since we all did visit the ROM

a random shot while at the ROM

Playing at a park

Looking through the glass floor of the CN Tower

All aboard the subway

Leaving the train stop

now at the ROM again Max immediately ran over to this picture and tried give the dino a hug

one of the rooms at the ROM

Max got to this dino too and I think that little girl behind him was waiting to say hi to the dino before Max got there first.

The dino was so cute and cuddly that even Robert couldn't resist her charm

Zach I told you I would get a shot of you

this is what I was normally getting when trying to take a photo of Zach

Out to dinner (Max took this photo with my camera)

Standing on the glass floor

Max on the glass floor

back up the tower

And that pretty much wraps up the Barton's visit. (or at least my photo's of their visit)
