Monkey and Daddy's Day Out Together

This past week Daddy took Big C to daycare and Monkey got to choose the activities for the day. Here's how it all went down:
Start at Tim's and grab a chocolate chip muffin:
Enjoy the muffin on the bus (since it was FREE! - the ticket machine wasn't working so we rode for free)
Get a free yo-yo from a lady from Scotiabank who got on our bus and just started handing them out to all of the kids on board.
Hit downtown just in time for the changing of the guard (something that we always, always miss) - we had a primo viewing spot
Stop in at the memorial room - we just missed the W page Daddy wanted to see - argh!
Go up to the peace tower and catch the first ride up, so that we could see the end of the ceremony

Get a photo together - he's becoming such a smiler
Get a photo with some of the ceremonial guard
Check out the currency museum (also free!) - Monkey read the entire comic book-type story that they had on display about counterfeiting!

Get a photo at the Terry Fox statue - by Monkey's request

Get a photo with the guards at the War Memorial
Step at the canal for lunch.
Badger sighting! Badger sighting!Check out the Ottawa School of Art - take a fun photo
Hold the door open for strangers - most of them Pathfinders from Toronto who were very gracious
Take a photo with the moose
and a photo with the old car in one of the cell phone stores
Then decide - Beavertail or Booster Juice? Beaver tail or Booster Juice? Hmmmm....let's each get one of them and then share!
Take the O-train home
being sure to make funny faces when we go through the tunnel.
Thanks for a wonderful day together. Let's have lots more!
