We went to church at 9:30, we were on time for us, arriving just in time for the sacrament. We woke up late, I had stayed awake till 2:30, guarding the girls from the cats and when Daniel came in from painting I was out. We took the subway to church which was neat and walked to the Ossington Chapel. Owen thinks it is one of the original early church buildings. There were 2 kids in nursery including Jack and 6 youths in total. The Bishop had multiple callings besides being Bishop, he was the ward organist and primary chorister.


After eating lunch, we headed out...we saw the legislative buildings. The kids are starting to memorize the tours(they cover a lot of the same things). This legislative building is more in the Victorian Style and is made of sandstone. We then went and saw the CN Tower, the second tallest free standing structure in the world. We didn't go up because there was a long wait. We walked past the Hockey Hall of fame and then we took the streetcar to "the Beaches". This was the highlight of Jack's day. He loves taking the subway and seeing all the streetcars.




At the Beaches there was a music festival happening, lots of people, kiosks and food. We walked around and then headed to the beach to just hang out. The kids were tired and needed to just play. I warned them that this was a lake and dad might want to go swimming...Isabel looked a little worried. There was a guy there who was balancing rocks free hand, it was quite amazing.


We headed back home in time to get the kids to bed a little earlier because we are going to Canada's Wonderland tomorrow. We have counted out the days till we have to be home and we think that we might have to postpone the New York portion of our journey. The ferry that we were going to take is going to cost well over a thousand dollars! It is $427 just for the RV and then $99 for adults and $65 for kids and everyone has to pay a $10 surcharge...I won't complain about BC Ferries for awhile.
It is much cooler tonight.Owen's friend Manuel came for a quick visit and we all were in bed before midnight.
