I am excited to attend the Children’s Festival on Granville Island this year. It’s always great fun for both kids and their kids’ at heart parents.
Now that OLM is nearly three, he’s much more able to enjoy more of the festivities. No longer is he afraid to get his face painted, and having just mastered (sort of) using kiddie scissors for the first time today, we’re excited that this year will be the year for him to explore all that is on offer.
Giveaway: Win Free Passes
