Fun Spring Break Recap Activity
Well, Spring Break this year has been full of surprises already. Just a few weeks ago we were all assuming that spring break would be in March as usual. But then it got shifted to April here in Ontario. That was clearly shocking to many people. I’m not sure it matters anymore, I mean not like we are able to travel or go anywhere outside the province. Whether spring break is in March or April seems like a trivial thing after this year that we have had. Dates hardly matter these days. Many of us wake up still and wonder what the heck day it is!

This is a guest post by contributor Tabitha Pye This past Saturday I had the great pleasure to take my kids to see Monster Jam 2015 in London at Budweiser Gardens and it was a blast! It was loud, it was exciting, it was tense and I actually “sort of” understood what was going on. Things started off a little slow and I wasn’t sure what was going on, but things quickly escalated and got interesting as the newest member to the Canadian team overshot the mark and flipped his truck! After that the show was just as exciting as we all waited with baited breath to see if any…
