Lately...

So Henry's Beaver's group went to a Community Safety Village. I had never been there and was so impressed!! They had to sit in a classroom first and learn road safety rules and signs from real police officers. The Beavers seemed pretty intimidated when they realized they were going to really drive mini cars on the roads. Their questions were "but what if I don't follow the rules by mistake?" and "what if I can't stop?" The police officers had a lot more faith in them than I had and just stuck them in the cars and said, "go". It was a miniature village with tiny churches, schools, bus stops, sidewalks, real working traffic lights, Tim Horton's and McDonalds. Henry's question of course was, "can we really go to the McDonald's?" But alas, most of the buildings were empty.

They took turns driving and Henry's partner drove first. It went fairly smoothly. I don't have too many photos of Henry actually driving because I had to keep putting him back on the road. He was all over the sidewalks! Good times!

Then this past weekend was Shania's Sunflower of Hope Fun Fair...the 4th Annual! The kids had a great time and it's an amazing fundraiser. The whole community comes out and you can feel that you're a part of something very special.

I don't have too many photos of Jack because he was off and running with his friend. It's nice that we know pretty much everyone there...it means the kids have a lot of freedom to do as they please!
