Klara exploring the new park

Practicing steps

Swinging about

Playing peek-a-boo

Reading me a book in the car

Pumpkin decorating at Sainte Marie

Playing peek-a-boo with staff

Petting dead animals

Crafting with her mom

But beware the King of Ontario

Carl as 17th century financier?

Klara eating gravel

Concerned about teepee architecture

Watching movies with Sage?

or just…

Usurping Sage’s pillow.

After four straight days of driving, Carl and Anna arrived in Ontario on New Year’s Eve. We’ve since played the board game Pandemic twice and may just try to win again tonight when they get back from their day-trip to Toronto.

Here’s a pic showing Anna in her new winter jacket:
