Anyway, my point was, there are so many options for Christmas festivities here and I know we won't get to try them all, but we're going to give it a shot. This weekend, we visitied the Burnaby Village Museum which is a living history museum set in about 1912. They have it decorated for Christmas and they had all sorts of festive things for the kids to do. The best part was that gate admission is free this year because they're celebrating their 40th anniversary! Here are some pictures of our fun (and rainy) day.
About to board the restored tram car from the line that made Burnaby into it's own little city
Abe and I, sitting on the tram. Who knew they had rattan seats?
Amazing balloon man
He made these cool creations, a snake, a pig, and 2 monkeys
Here is Lily with Father Christmas. He let her write her name on the "nice" list.
Isaac loved the old truck. Boys and their toys!
My favorite was the school house. The teacher did a great job of telling us about the school of the era. Let's just say the kids aren't in any hurry to go back to that period!
Cool globe in the school house. We found our country, but alas, our new city is not listed on there.
Our time at the village ended with a ride on the 1912 restored carousel. Honestly, it was the fastest carousel I have ever ridden. I was worried Abe might fall off!

In that Globe they call Ethiopia "Italian East Africa", which is very strange. Ethiopia have never been colonized and It is the oldest independent country on the world.
