Today the boys and I headed over to the second annual Telling Tales Festival - a great (and free!) literacy festival held in a heritage village. The village, which is worth a visit any day, is filled with costumed characters from favorite books, readings, demonstrations, and booksellers. There is even a book 'exchange' where kids can bring in books that no longer hold their interest and receive tokens towards the purchase of new books.
They enjoyed exploring the old coal burning train engine and walking the tracks...
Seeing the costumed characters strolling about...
Visiting the heritage buildings...
Petting the police horses...
And best of all, listening to...
A surprise story telling by Robert Munsch, a favorite author in our house.
Needless to day,. bedtime stories will likely be an extended affair tonight!!
