The Distilliery District

 Should you ever be looking for something to do, I strongly suggest you visit the Distillery District.  It's an old factory that was lovingly restored.  It houses arts and craft shops, jewellery stores, cafes, a chocolate store, bars and sometimes even some live music and street festivals.  It's also a great place to take photos as you can see here.

The Tall Ships Festival - Toronto Waterfront Festival

 Every few years we have a very special event in the Toronto Harbour, The Tall Ships Festival comes to town.  A number of old ships will sail majestically into the harbour for everyone to see.  We have The Bluenose II, The Pentiction Castle and many more.

 This pirate ship is a full on adventure.  The pirates will teach all children big and small how to be a proper pirate.

 We even had a chance to meet some of our Royal Military.

My First Attempt Of Making An Edible Arrangement

Here is a photo of my very first attempt of making an Edible Arrangement.  It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.  Once we got all of the supplies and fruit, it went along very quickly.

 You will need:

1 plastic bowl
sharp star and flower cookie cutters (I got mine at the dollar store)
long kabob sticks
1 head of lettuce or cabbage for the bottom
strawberries + chocolate (for making chocolate covered strawberries)
A large pineapple or two smaller ones
Watermelon
grapes
cantalope
