Day 6- Thursday

Our road trip today took us to the St. Jacobs Outlet Mall and Farmer's Market. "Located in Waterloo Region, west of Toronto and within an hour and a half of Niagara Falls, this area is renowned for Canada’s largest year round Farmers Market and the charming Village of St Jacobs. Home to a population of approx. 4,000 Old Order Mennonites who farm the surrounding countryside, this destination has been welcoming visitors for several decades."  http://www.stjacobs.com/

The first stop on arrival was the Lego store at the Outlet Mall.  Lots of things for the kids to do with Legos. There was a race track set up and bins of car parts. Matthew's car went together quickly and he was raising and then tired of racing before Allison even had a car together. Visualize 4 adults (Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa) each frantically digging through Lego bins trying to find enough car parts to get Allison's car to even roll. She was very patient with us and very pleased with the final result. She raced a few times and was satisfied.

Next, we went to the Farmer's Market across the road. Anything imaginable, both farm products and other items, was available as well as food from all over the world. With all these wonderful options, we decided on pizza for lunch and a fresh baked brownie for dessert.
