Visiting the Zoo

Saturday November 14, 2015

Uncle Grant was "zoositting" for Christiaan, Annie and Loic while they were on vacation. The Chelsea boys came to visit the zoo. They really like the colourful fish.

Samuel helped make some Rudolf peanut butter cookies for supper. Kirk checked out Grant's Great Gray owl puzzle - he and Karine later added some pieces.

After supper the boys enjoyed some games and watched "Frozen". It was a good time together.

Time with David

David's daycare was closed on Remembrance Day but Samuel was back at school. We had a good play day with a smiling David - puzzles were popular. Uncle Rick joined us for dinner.

Trains and Play

Monday November 9, 2015

It was another day off school for Samuel (teacher's strike). Barbara met Maman and the boys at Bridgehead beside MEC where Sam and David were enjoying chocolate croissants with cups of hot chocolate. Soon they were on their way with Barbara to the Fallowfield Via train station.  When they parked they saw the Toronto train coming.  Exciting!

After the passengers boarded, the train headed towards Greenbank Rd., so we went in to check out the train station. Sam soon spotted another Via train coming from the opposite direction. We had about 20 minutes to look at this train before it headed towards Woodroffe Ave.

Then we were off to 9 Lambert for a day of playing games. The boys enjoyed grilling their own sandwiches for lunch. In the afternoon, Sam discovered a space shuttle with rockets and a fuel tank that could eject. Grandpa showed him videos of real space ship takeoffs on the computer - Sam loved this and excitedly explained what was happening to David (while he munched on some popcorn).

Bowling

Friday November 6, 2015

Maman was away studying at the Collège d'Études Ostéopathiques in Montreal. Barbara, Grandpa and Grant brought dinner to the Chelsea boys. We also brought a large table game called  pendulum Curve Bowl which Rick brought over from his place. The boys enjoyed knocking down the pins. Maman skyped them and watched the game in action.

After awhile David had the game to himself and he enjoyed using Olaf as a target..

Work and play

Sunday November 1, 2015

The Chelsea boys family came to 9 Lambert where Papa worked very hard to create a pathway through floors and ceilings for our natural gas pipes to run from the basement to the attic.

Karine, Grant, Samuel and David played and had a good visit to Banner Park.

In the big basement cleanup we found a sailboat and Baby Washy (Craig's male doll). The boys were soon in the bath. David laughed as he washed "Baby Wasee".
