Chappel Farms

Sloane goes to a daycare two days a week.  We started sending her there to ensure that she got some quality time with children her own age.  And, of course, to give Marg a bit of a break from the trials of stay at home momhood.   Sloane's daycare is Discovery Childcare, located in Barrie.  It's a fine establishment.

The daycare arranged a pre-Halloween day trip to a Barrie area farm attraction - Chappel Farms.  This is a quasi-working farm with activities for children.  Marg decided to go and take Parker as well - a day for the kids!

 The day started with Sloane and Parker having their very first ride in a school bus.  Boy, was Sloane excited.  All those renditions of "Wheels on the Bus" finally given meaning and context.  The day included a hayride and each child got to pick their own pumpkin.  Sloane and Parker each got one.

There was also a petting zoo.  Sloane was less timid than Parker, but wow - love those goats!
