Okay so i have one 5 year old and twin 1 year olds
I watch another one year old during the day and all the activities that i see that
are for march break all run during the day..
does anyone know of activities that accommodate the working parents..who have to work
to take their kids to these places..i was excited to take my son places and now i can't because
the kids fair and even the museum flyers all say they close at 5 or 6pm.
help..i dont' mind travelling a little but its night time so we can be driving an hour away.
anyone having any ideas for saturday or sundays as well that are not hte events i mentioned.
weekends I'm sure are going to be completely insane with families rushing to do stuff because of these non family friendly hours

Opps I didn't mean at the Western Fair, I just ment in general SORRY!! We got a flier at school and most of the events listed were for 6+
We'll probably do some skating and a movie

Oh and I noticed that the Empire Theatre has $2 matinee's on certain movies,
Waterhorse, Bee, Alvin and the Chipmunks and one other I can't remember.

I didn't see that here in london...only The Bee Movie and Alvin and the Chipmonks.

It played at the one in Galleria for a week I think.. but only once per day in the afternoon... and it was a bad time for us... and we did not realize it was here until the day before it was over *sigh*

Dawn · 03-05-2008, 10:14 PM

I think we are going to have to go to Kitchener to see it... I did not see where itr said different movies by different locations... grrr!!!

one ordinary girl · 03-05-2008, 10:29 PM

Opps I didn't see that either, Looks like only Alvin and the Bee movie are here. Sorry!! I think we'll go see Alvin!!

Dawn · 03-05-2008, 10:30 PM

we saw Alvin (well and Bee too... but talking about Alving here

) Kaitlyn loved it. She thought it was sooooo funny.

We are going to go to the reptile petting zoo thing at Westmount Mall. Someone had posted info on it a while back. If I remember correctly it also ran on the weekend.

What about tubing in St Mary's, Adventures on Wonderland, swimming...I think anything you wouldn't do in a normal week would be fun and make it special. We always love to go to a sugar bush this time of year. Lots of them hold special "all you can eat" breakfasts and tours of the barn and hay ride into the bush. The one we like (near Nairn) is open weekdays for March break. I forget the name but will find out and post if anyone is interested. The best part is the jugs of fresh maple syrup they set out on the breakfast tables!!! MMMMM I can't wait!!!
