chocho's and jassie's corner: September 2010

This summer we had a playdate with Uncle Ka and Aunty Corrie. We went to Whittamore Farm out in Markham. I never knew a farm could be a fun place!

We started the day at home with playing some bubbles. Aunty Corrie and Uncle Ka brought some bubbles for the kids to play with and they were just loving the bubbles!!! They couldn't stop smiling and screaming and chasing the bubbles around.

We then went over to the farm and started the adventure with strawberry picking. Boy that was an adventure indeed! We went in July, and apparently strawberry season is in June. So needless to say, there were hardly any strawberries to pick! We had to hunt for them. It wasn't strawberry picking! It was strawberry hunting!! It was a hot day and we had to find some nice looking strawberries to pick. We didn't end up finding any big strawberries. Chocho also had some strict quality control system, whereby any strawberries we put into the basket must be BIG, and RED. If it wasn't big enough, he would reject it. If it wasn't red all around, he would reject it. But as the hours went by and still no strawberries, Chocho's rule started to ease up and he was accepting smaller ones. After baking in the sun for a couple of hours, we called it a day and went back with a basket full of 8 little red strawberries, that cost us $0.23!!!! Yes, they still charged us for the little red ones that we picked. :)

We continued the farm day in the playground area where Chocho and Jassie were able to play to their hearts content. There was a little mini zoo and some swings and slides. Chocho found a really long and high slide to come down to and he wouldn't stop climbing it. He just loves going down the slide. Uncle Ka and Dada also went down the slide and almost got themselves stuck in there!! :D

We had so much fun there that even Mama fell asleep in the car on the way home. Thank you for the fun day, Uncle Ka & Aunty Corrie!!
