A Day with the Foxes

We spent the day with the Foxes . . . . .

Claire invited Holly to her gymnastics class because it was "bring a friend" day. After some initial trepidation, Holly joined in and had a lot of fun.















Susanna & Dexter met me at gymnastics to pick up their Entertainment books. They rode their bikes, so Holly and I hopped onto Susanna's to check it out.














We then went to Tim Horton's for lunch with Claire & her family, and then headed to ballet. After ballet, all 6 of us (Claire, her brother Sean and their parents) walked across the parking lot to the Fire Station for their open house. We saw this van that had been involved in an accident . . . . .















. . . saw this vintage fire truck from around 1929 . . . . .















. . . met Sparky the Fire Dog . . . . .



















. . . and after the kids made some fire hats, they took turns "driving" in the big fire truck! After all that, the Foxes mentioned they were going to see a movie later and asked us to join them. We did - seeing "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". It was cute - we hadn't seen a movie since last year's "Kung Fu Panda" outing with our friends, and it was Holly's first 3D movie. Holly & Claire (both 4 years old) didn't wear the glasses much after the first 30 minutes, but they still seemed to like the movie!
