Our Digital World

Yesterday we met up with some friends at the Kids Toronto International Film Festival where they has a digital play space just for kids. All the fun was found with modern technology in today's digital world!

Waiting in line became an adventure in seeing yourself on the big screen!

Our first stop was the Funky Forest...an interactive experience where the kids used there bodies to create trees....
 and logs to divert the water and make dams.

Next we were off to The Green Screen where we got ready for our close up....what's that coming out of the snakes mouth?? It's Anna!
A visit to the light and sounds exhibit where we made some music

Adventures in Sound! Here kids said their name in a bucket and the pitch of their voice determined the color they would paint with their virtual paintbrush! 

 Room Racers where kids raced virtual cars around everyday items..
  A quick lesson from Daddy....
and Anna was off racing her car!
 Fun with the Magic Mirror

 But as fun as our digital world is nothing beats a balloon...and were these balloons amazing. You could ask for anything and the ballon makers would make it. While waiting in line we kept asking Anna what kind of balloon she wanted. The answers varied from Batman to a princess to a pink kitty but when it was her turn she said.....???
Here she is getting her head measured for the.....
 Alligator!

A Hopping Good Time

It was a busy Easter weekend for us here in Toronto. It started with Anna coming home from school complete with bunny ears and pink nose! She also kept singing a song that after some careful listening and a quick google search I learned went like this, "Easter bunny soft and white; Hopping quickly out of sight!" 

Next we were off to a local Easter Festival. Anna got to meet the Easter bunny but it turns out he is scarier than Santa Claus. I'm sure Anna was hoping he really would hop quickly out of sight! But she did enjoy the free popcorn and balloon animal!
After our visit with the Easter bunny we headed back home where Anna perked up at the idea of making Easter cookies!

Finally it was Easter and no Easter is complete without an Easter egg hunt! Last year Anna found 2 eggs to put in her basket...how many eggs were in Anna's basket this year???
 Anna had a lot of eggs in her basket....
 Here's one....
This year Anna found all 42 eggs hidden in our backyard! After she was done finding the eggs Anna declared, "Lots and lots of bunny treats!"
And how many of those eggs had candy in them??
Zero!
 The eggs were fun to line up too....I tried to get her to line up all 42 eggs but unfortunately a toddler's attention span doesn't last that long!
 Happy Easter!
