Our pretty cool weekend

Our pretty cool weekend, started when we slept in. The kids didn't even bother us for breakfast... which is a bad thing. They have a tendancy to feed themselves if left to their own devices. Here in the first image, is Scotty's idea of getting breakfast for Saben... chocolate syrup in bed. We found Saben covered in chocolate, and his bed, and his blankets... and... and... and. I had to put him in the shower before we could do anything with him. He loved it.
So then I took Sarah to her ballet class and afterwards had a quick BBq before we headed out to the County's maple celebrations. First stop was Campbell's Orchard where the kids laughed at the pigs and played on the swings.
Next we headed down the road to Hubb's Sugarbush. To get there we stopped atthe roadside shop where we purchased some maple flavoured stuff and grabbed some maps. Then we jumped on the tractor-drawn wagon and rode to the shack. We missed the pancake breakfast which was offered by Lake Lodge AF&AM #215 but we did get to see the shack and walk the lanes a little. The kids had lots of fun in the piles of leaves and with their walking sticks.
After the shack, we took the long route to Wellington (the kids got some well earned sleep) where we stopped at the Copper Kettle Chocolate Factory and bought some Bavarian coffee beans and maple hot chocolate... which mysteriously didn't taste like maple. (hmmm).
Once we got the kids home, Bert and I changed and leaving my mother in charge of the kids, we headed out to our friend April's Wedding Shower / Redneck / Irish kitchen party. Roberta and I danced the place down and there was an incident where one fellow drank a bit much and was left in a car to sleep it off, covered in whipped cream and vomit. hehehe, I won't say who. If you were there, you probly took pictures.
We had a great time doing all sorts of things and asking all sorts of questions and eating all sorts of things made with maple. I almost forgot about the KFC dinner in Delhi Park (Picton) yeah... lots of fun. anyway, here's to our next adventure, whenever and wherever it may be.
