This weekend was Morden's Corn & Apple Festival. There's a midway, craft booths, food trucks and approximately 20,000 too many people in my town.

I've never enjoyed it. Always make an effort to avoid it. But this year Wyatt was asking to ride the train ride, so we went Friday at noon (as soon as the rides opened for the weekend).

Despite a rough start (Wyatt was very overwhelmed and actually almost ran into traffic which is SO unlike him - he was trying to get to Josh), the kids had fun. Wyatt rode the train 6 times, and Paige rode anything we'd let her. She even got her picture in the Winnipeg Free Press!

Sunday we went to the zoo, but it was just far too hot. We rode around on the tram for a bit and then headed to Tutti Frutti for some frozen yogurt.

Just over a week until Wyatt's FIFTH birthday, and 2 days later, his first day of kindergarten! As of the 9th, the kids have a spot at the public daycare, which is such a huge relief, although Wyatt is not looking forward to it at all. He says there are too many kids. He was there on a no school day, so there were about 30 kids. On a regular day, he'll only be with that many kids after afternoon daycare is done. I'm sure he'll adjust fine, I just need to convince him of that.

We had a busy, busy weekend! On Thursday we spontaneously decided to book a campsite at St. Malo for Friday night. As most of you know, last year's camping attempt ended with up packing up and heading home at midnight. We went in with much lower expectations this time, ha ha. But we had fun! Sleeping in the tent wasn't awesome (I took an elbow to the face from Paige and ended up with a split lip). 

Sunday we met up with my parents at the Aviation Museum in Winnipeg to check out a B-17. Our plan was to picnic after, but it poured on the way in, so we ate at the food court in Polo Park instead. It was pretty neat to see the museum, I know Wyatt got a real kick out of it.
