Swings, Slides, Farms and Football!

Toronto is a city jam-packed with high-rise buildings and glass skyscrapers, but there are also beautiful parks and green spaces carved out in every neighbourhood including downtown. The past couple of weeks we have explored High Park, Kew Park, Tommy Thompson Park and Riverdale Farm, all of which are within walking or biking distance to our house. (Also very green.) Mark and I are loving the toddler stage...watching Henry run around the playgrounds, laugh and play with other children and discover new things is so amazing. The smallest things we take for granted, such as a pretty golden leaf or a colourful bird, he finds so interesting. It makes us stop and appreciate things more when you see them through his eyes.

High Park has a beautiful 'off leash' area for dogs. Jake was thrilled to run around and took a quick dip in the river.

  1. The picture of H wearing a Megatron jersey is priceless, and he does a good impression of a duck. Too funny!
