Weekend at College Royal






The kids and I spent much of the weekend at College Royal, an open house put on by the students at the University of Guelph. It's the third year in a row that we have gone. Sebastian has always loved going. Oscar had to work nights this weekend. I had been feeling a bit leery of taking the kids by myself as it is often very crowded and things are quite spread out over the campus. We ended up having a great time, so much that we went on both Saturday and Sunday for several hours each day. The kids built boats and raced them, built containers to try to protect an egg while dropping it from four stories up (not successful :) particularly Ayla's, whose egg was in an open cup), watched a science show, built hand catapults, played with "magic mud", petted animals, took "Crazy Rooster" to the teddy bear surgery, and lots more. One highlight was running into several different friends and joining them for different activities. I'm sorry that Oscar had to miss out. The kids and I are already looking forward to next year!
