March Break

We have just gone back to school after 8 days off and it was lovely to get a break, I feel like I have landed in Canada and been going like a crazy person for 3 months so it was good to have a break. We had Greg (my brother) here for 5 days which was wonderful and we went to Toronto and Niagara Falls both were amazing spectacles to see, with the weather so nice it was great to be able to stroll around outside its one thing I really miss, you don't go outside much to walk around, people here actually take Vit D tablets during the winter.
We then had more Aussie friends for 4 days after Greg left, Mal and Deb from Vancouver island on an exchange from Grafton. It was also great to see them and we had some wonderful parties with the local Wagner Lake crowd that they really enjoyed. Then this week we welcomed Candy and Mike Chapman from Balcolyn to stay with us for 2 days, they brought some lovely Ice Wine for us and saw some wonderful sites around the area.
All the locals head south to the sun in Florida and Mexico for the March Break its really quite funny and when they get back they are burnt brown or bright red, and they then wear T-Shirts and shorts to show of their tans when the weather is still only 5 degrees, pretty funny.
Anyway we are all over our sicknesses which is good and we are back at school, Kevin now has a full time job at a local store and we are trying to sell the Bambi products in Canada. I am busy at school again and the kids have lots of homework to do. I am not looking forward to this stint of school we have 13 weeks till the summer hols, OMG that would never happen in Aus, it will be hard. 2 lots of reports to do and 2 long weekends we will really need the 9 weeks off we get in July August. Hope all is well, enjoy the photos.
