To the Island!

If you live in Toronto, hot summer days call for hopping on the ferry to the island.

After Alex's art class this morning, we grabbed our scooters and headed downtown to catch said boat.

First stop: Climbing the tree at Centre Island!

after doing a little geocaching in the William Meany Maze...

...we headed over to the Franklin Garden to catch up with some old friends!

Then it was was time for a beaver tail and some frozen yogourt, which we devoured in the shade before scootering on to Wards Island to swim at the beach there.

We ended our island adventure with dinner at the Wards Island Café, where a Calypso band entertained us while we enjoyed our food, and the boys scootered around the ramps at the nearby "pirate ship playground".

Here's to another beautiful day at the Toronto Islands, one of my favourite places in the world!
