Fairy Lane Update

When my daughter was visiting we went for a walk through Fairy Lane.

For little ones it's like a treasure hunt.

So many houses, doors, swings and more to discover.

Here are some of them:

We took our time and let our little one explore the pieces.

Do you see the little fairy hiding in her home?

It was up to high for our little one to see it.

Clever Fairy!

Some fairies were right by her feet too.

But she was distracted with an airplane.

There is so much to see

and every time I walk through it has changed.

It was a pleasure to find these pieces of fairy art hanging in the Lane.

If you're in the Valley I hope you have a chance to visit.

Gingerbread Creation Donation

Each year our StrongStart program creates a gingerbread creation with 

our big buddies.

Then we donate it to a community fundraiser that raises money

for our local Boys & Girls Club.

The little buddies started in our classroom decorating the house

and the train.

Then we got together with our big buddies to make lots of trees

to fill out the board.

They worked together to coat an ice cream cone with green frosting

then decorated it with candy.

I wonder how many candy didn't make it on the tree?

Time to prep the board with lots of frosting

to secure the house, train, tracks 

and all the trees.

Once it was altogether the buddies looked to find their tree.

I delivered it last weekend and then on Monday we went and toured 

all the displays.

And look what we found on our creation...

a post card from our gingerbead cookies.

Gingerbread Cookie Update

It has been almost three weeks since our gingerbread cookies ran away

and we have received a lot of stories from them as they travel the world.

At school Ms Green's grade 3 class visited and left us some stories too.
