Assiniboine Zoo and Nature Playground

Last week we headed out to the Zoo and Nature Playground.  We arrived early enough to be able to see some of the animals in action such as the polar bears and the tigers.  We walked with dinosaurs and got to see a special exhibit of sea creatures from the Vancouver aquarium.  

The younger children spent the day at the Nature Playground playing, sliding and swinging and keeping cool in the water features.  

Human Rights Museum

The Resource Room and Mini Gym children took a tour of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.  They were taught about the basic human rights that all people entitled to and taken on walk through the museum to explore a few of the galleries.  

We had some extra time at the end of our tour so a few of our children decided to hike all the way up to the 8th floor for a photo op.  

Boston Pizza

We had quite an adventure with the theatre group.  We took the city bus to Boston Pizza where the owner, Jon taught the children all about what happens behind the scenes at a restaurant.  

         

And then on to the good stuff...

And boy was it good!

Outdoor Challenge Day 4: Sport Manitoba and Water Fun Day

We had the BEST day!  

Outdoor Challenge: Resource Room

The kids of the Resource Room have been busy exploring in the park.  They began their adventure hunting through the woods looking for sticks to build forts, which very quickly turned into a hunt for berries.  

And of course we had to give Ms. Cari a proper send off the best way we know how.  

Silly face selfies!

Today the children tried their hand at some photography at the duck pond.  If you ask me I think we have a few budding photographers on our hands.

Outdoor Challenge Day 3: National Hot Dog Day

As luck would have it, today just so happened to be National Hot Dog Day, so our timing for our Outdoor Challenge bonfire couldn't have been timed better.  You might have thought to yourself, but the weather was cold, and let me tell you as someone who stood over a bonfire in +45 degrees last year, today was perfect.

You'll have to ask your children if they enjoyed the hot dogs because they ate them so fast we were only able to get one quick picture, however we gave them all a chance to roast their own marshmallows so we got them standing still long enough to capture those smiling faces.  

YUM!
