Field Trip to Mirvish Village

Last Friday, we went to Honest Ed's. It is a huge store with three floors. Each floor include different things. I found women, men, children and a few other sections in that store. The prices were really cheap, so I bought many things as gifts for my friends in my home town. Then Katie, Silvia and I decided to go for lunch in Yorkville, and check out the stores on Bloor Street. After lunch while we came out of the restaurant, I was thinking how good it will be if I could see a celebrity today. Suddenly, we saw many teenagers who were standing on the sidewalk waiting for something. News channel cameras and reporters were there. I went closer, and asked one of them, "What's going on?"They said Justin Bieber, the famous singer was coming. "Oh my god I knew it", I said to Katie. After five minutes, I heard the crow yelling and running, so we did the same thing. His bus was coming to pick him up from his hotel. We stayed in front of his hotel for 30 minutes, but he didn't come, so I told my friends, lets go. I didn't care about him any more, because I was tired. In the evening when I came back home I saw him on the news. They were talking about his bad behaviour. He had spitting on his fans from his hotel balcony. Thankfully, we left that place before he did. I was happy that we didn't spend more time there.

Planing Activities With Children

Yesterday Shankari came to our class to talk about planing activities with children, and gave us lot's of useful information. She told us how important is keeping our children active during summer. When schools are close they don't have anything to do, otherwise they just want to seat in front of TV for long time, and watch cartoons or play games. As you know these kind of things are not good for their health and mind. Shankari offered us many kind of activities for children such as: swimming, dancing, hacking, camping, skating, travelling and etc. She also said we have to know how important is to keep them active even in winter, because of cold weather usually people want to stay at home, but it is not good idea. Ice skating and snowboarding are good for winter, or we can use indoor activities. One of the good places is YMCA which have different kind of activities for all. I don't have any children to make plan for, so I decided to do some activities my self. I will apply to be a member in there.

Last Weekend in Blue Mountain

Last Saturday, my husband and I decided to go to Blue Mountain. We left our home in the morning, and on the way we stopped by Wasaga Beach. After that we drove to Blue Mountain. First, we went to Blue Mountain Village and looked for a hotel to stay in, but every place was booked, and no room was available for us. Unfortunately, we left the Village and found a hotel near by Village. It was one of the worst places I had ever stayed in my life, but we didn't have any other choice. We stayed there one night, and the next day we left and went back to the Village. I was not sure if we could get a room in that hotel or not, because usually on the weekend many people go there, and it was our fault for not booking ahead. When the reception told me that they had room, I really wanted to kiss her. After that ugly place, it sound good. We stayed there for two nights. I liked that place very much. It made me feel good. Blue Mountain is a really beautiful place, and we decided to go there in winter again. They also has a famous spa. I went there too, and I really enjoyed it. I want to go there again.

July Vacation

Last week, we had 10 days, vacation. It was good time to look around and have some fun. On Monday, my husband and I went to Niagara Falls for the Canada Day celebration. Every year, Niagara Falls hosts a huge celebration for Canada's birthday on July 1st. Many people were there. There was lots of entertainment, such as free birthday cakes, face painting, a car show, live entertainment and food vendors. I was excited about the fireworks at night. Finally night came, and it started. It was really beautiful. I had never see fireworks before. That's why I enjoyed it very much. We stayed one night at Niagara Falls in a hotel. The next day, on the way back, we stopped by a farmer's Market and bought some fresh fruits. We went to Niagara-on-the-Lake too. It was good, and I enjoyed it a lot.
