Visit from Grandma/Mom/Millie

Last week we had a special visitor who is called many things, but in this sentence I'll just call her John's mom.  It was a bit of a strange visit, as John & I were gone in the middle of it, but it was still great.  On the days that we were all together, we definitely kept busy.


We spent lots of time outside in the nice weather.


We made our first trip this year to Riverdale Farm - a charming little farm in the middle of downtown Toronto.  It is a gem.  

During our last visit there, I learned that all donkeys have crosses on their backs!  Did you know that?  I had definitely never noticed that in all my time around donkeys.  The story is that the crosses are there as a reminder of Palm Sunday.


My favorite day was spent at Spencer Gorge Conservation Area, about an hour away from Toronto.  The park has two large waterfalls, easy dirt-pathed hikes to both falls, huge willow trees, lots of grass, and an old cobblestone bridge.


The bridge was simply charming.


It was such a GORGEOUS day!


We also had lots of fun playing inside.  One afternoon Grandma & Helena hosted a tea party for H's Mommy & Daddy!  Thanks so much for coming Grandma/Mom/Millie!
