My parents gave the girls a trip to Sudbury for Christmas and it was time to cash in and travel into northern Ontario for some fun. Unfortunately, Glenn is working a lot for the PanAm games and was not able to join us on this trip. Just the girls, my parents and I.
Our first stop was at French River. They have a great visitors center there. Brought all of the new 5th grade Social Studies curriculum to life. Artifacts from the voyageurs, information about the explorers and fur trade. Miss E? She was not so blown away with the information presented but with the fact that it was presented in a colourful, touchable way. (In other words, she really enjoyed the buttons).
After checking out the visitor center it was time for a wee walk through the woods to the river. The girls got to explore a bit of the Canadian shield while stretching their legs.
