momstown Mississauga Field Trip to Kids CBC Days

What an adventure! I have attended the Kids CBC days twice now and it’s a great event. My kids were old enough this year to be really excited about meeting the Characters and seeing all the entertainers from TV. This morning we watched a little Kids CBC and it was fun to see how excited they were about having seen the Personalities and Characters live yesterday!

The GO train ride was a highlight. Sure we could have taken the family van, and arrived in air-conditioned comfort however the excitement of the ride on the train added to the experience! From the conductor who chatted with the kids to the excitement of sitting on the stairs (there were no seats on the commuter train) the green beast was the way to go! We even walked the whole way (3 four year olds – pretty impressive)! 

Still smiling on the way home! 

Upon arrival at the CBC building we were surprised to see a Kangaroo! He was on a leash, in a shady spot hanging out with a lemur, a zebra and a pony! They were part of a demonstration by the Bowmanville Zoo for the show Are We There Yet? Animal Adventure. Did you know that a kangaroo can sit on its tail, and can protect itself with its fore feet and back-feet at the same time?

There were so many activities lined up, it was a challenge to choose what to do first. From getting a picture taken with a character to getting your face painted there was no shortage of fun. Of course my favorite activity was Super Why "W is for Watermelon" brought to you by momstown.ca. We made W crafts and decorated them like watermelons. It was fun for the kids to take a break from the action and get crafty while sneaking in a little learning. 

The live show was awesome and featured Super Why, The Cat in the Hat, Huckle, Bo on the Go, Mamma Yamma and of course Sid and Patty! My kids were puzzling over why Nick and Sally from Cat in the Hat weren't there until my son remarked that their Mom probably hadn’t wanted them to go in the Thingamajigger all the way into Toronto. The traffic is too bad. Can’t fault his logic!
