Assiniboine Park & Zoo in Winnipeg, Manitoba


We picked a beautiful day to visit the Assiniboine Park & Zoo. The park was beautiful and HUGE. There looked to be an awesome bike trail all around the park & zoo...later we found out that it connects to a 20mile (I think?) trail to Ft. Whyte Park. I love bike friendly cities.




And here is a pic of me and the boys with a statue of the original Winnie-the-Pooh. The "Winnie" part comes from Winnipeg of course :-).


Last night Reeve and Kyle survived a night in the woods with some fellow homeschoolers. They were invited over to a camp out and the boys ages 5(Kyle), 8(Reeve), 11, 12, & 13 slept in a huge army tent. From the sounds of it they didn't exactly sleep! Reeve said they talked all night and then got a little sleep. They woke up with the sun and packed there gear, hiked out of the woods, and up to their friend's house. When they got inside they noticed the time was 4:54A.M.! They then decided to go back to the tent to hang out. This was their first night away from home, and they LOVED it! They came home around 10am. They crashed at 3pm and had a nap until 7pm when I woke them up (bad Mom!)...I just wanted them to be able to sleep tonight. They can't wait to go on another camp over.
