AppleFest at the Markham Museum

We did the drive up to Markham for Applefest at the Markham Museum.
We ate some apples, drank some cider, had some apple bread, and had a lovely day.

Too much traffic!

Historic Home

The "snap apple" game.
It was hard!! It's like bobbing for apples but instead of a bucket, the apples are on the line.

Looks and sounds like a train but it's really a tractor.

Lots of anvils and tools.

No one's at the Harness shop!

Old car

Religious french fries?

Such a pretty day...

We were too late for the bakesale. Only 1 chocolate cupcake left!!

Cute little train ride.
It was closed for lunch.

CP Rail Train Car.

What an arm!

Everything is so cute here!

I love fall!

My City: Black Creek Pioneer Village

Last week we went to Black Creek Pioneer Village. It's located in the West end of Toronto and the minute you step foot in there, it's like you're back in time... I love going to the village. When Cheeky Monkey was a baby, I had gone about 3 times.

First stop... the Tin Shop and this cute little bench.

Next up, the town hall. It's very empty inside!

Another cute bench!

Look! A Pioneer!
Pretty Zinnias

A lonely pumpkin

Settler's home

The print shop

Lunch at the Halfway House and a treat for Cheeky Monkey

Such a nice colour of red!

Everything is just so cute!

From the Mill

Seriously, don't touch the horses. There are "pioneers" who will pounce on you if you even attempt it. And really, why would you?

How Quaint!

My City: Toronto Zoo

Mama's taking us to the zoo tomorrow... zoo tomorrow... zoo tomorrow

Last week we went to the zoo and Cheeky Monkey is still singing Raffi. We first took him early March this year but it was way too cold so we didn't see too much. This time, we saw more and Baby Bunny got to enjoy it too!
