Another Busy Weekend!

Hello Friends!

Today is a good day to recover from another busy weekend.  We were in Toronto Canada all weekend.  Part of the time at a Feis and the rest as tourists.

I haven't been to Toronto in years and I was surprised at how much more built up it is than I remember.

Saturday we were at the feis until early afternoon, than took off to tour Toronto.  Unfortunately, we realized on our way into Canada that our GPS does not work there, so we spent most of the weekend lost.  I have decided that we have become too dependent on our GPS; I will be sure to have printed directions from now on.

Because we kept getting lost, we decided to take the subway into Toronto.  This was Hannah's first time on a subway, that was exciting for her!


We walked around downtown and, of course, did some window shopping at the famous Eaton Center.


Perhaps the most exciting part of our evening came, however, when we realized that the cast of Glee was in town performing live.  I really wish we would have know in advance; I would have tried to get tickets.  We did walk over to the venue and got to see the line-up of tour buses, Hannah enjoyed that!


On Sunday, we decided to go the the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.  Hannah has been to the US side, but not over to Canada.  Little did we know that everyone else would be there as well.  After sitting in a traffic jam for over an hour trying to find a parking place, Hannah and I decided to jump out of the car and run over to at least see the falls.




By the time we turned around to run back to the car, the traffic had started moving, so we ran a small marathon trying to catch up with Scott.  I was never so glad to get to the car, huffing and puffing, and rest my aching legs (running is no longer my forte).

Today will be quiet.  Actually, this whole week will be quiet.  Hannah left this morning for 6th Grade Ecology Camp, so we will have to live without her all week.  This is her first time away by herself and I could tell she was apprehensive.  I know she will have a blast with all of her friends at camp and I will see her Wednesday when I go to help in the kitchen for the day; I'll let you know how she is fairing then.

God's blessings to you all!  Nancy
