I love cars!
We added about 1000 km/620miles on the car since we've had it. Luckily our friend is leaving us the car today too, it is very easy to fall in love with a car though. Yesterday we had great use of the car as we went crazy and went to Quebec city for supper, that's about a 2,5 hours ride.
Sunday morning we left home bright and early for a fun-filled day! We stopped at a truck stop for breakfast, which made Lucas's day. He adores big trucks! :) Then we spent most of our day at the Village Québécois d'Antan, which is a village where earlier ways of life are in harmony with present day living. This typical French-Canadian rural village recreates the 1810-1910 period. It takes about four hours to tour the village, we took 5. It was one of the best days of my life!!! The kids loved running around and tour one of the 30+ houses where people would talk to us about their life.
Both kids got to feed sheep, Lucas went in 1st and couldn't stop, he was having a blast so then Zoe decided she could handle feeding them too. LOL! Lucas sure is an animal lover, he loves them and Zoe is more afraid, she will try something once she knows her brother can do it.
We brought back some freshly baked bread, molasses cookies, handmade soaps, beewax candles, a recipe book. Oh dear, the quilts I resisted but it was SO hard, they had wool socks for sell also. Zoe got a gorgeous stuffed bunny and Lucas got a little black board, like way back when in school. If we lived closer I would spend my whole summer at this place, it was great to be so close to pioneers.
After a fun day we went crazy and drove to Quebec city for supper, this city is so beautify from it's history. Unfortunatly yarn stores were closed by the time we got there so no yarn purchases were made. LOL! We went to a very modern sport-themed restaurant and got a nice surprise when we learned that kids eat for free on sundays. LOL! Sure ended our day very nicely, so note to any local people, support on Cage aux Sports on sundays. lol!
After taking a few gravols we all came back home with the kids sleeping safely in their carseats and us adults just chatting along about our fabulous day. :)
Now what's in store for us today? BIG grin!!!
hugs,
