The splash pad is one of the kids’ favorites. It is perfect for C. to run around and play in, which I love. The only thing I do not … Read entire article »

Kids on the Go – Cabane à Sucre Constantin, St-Eustache, Quebec, Canada

Kids on the Go! The Wildlife Habitat – Port Douglas, Australia

Kids on the Go: Apple Hill – Northern California, USA

Spring and fall are just brief periods during which the weather jumps back and forth … Read entire article »
