Entertainer In The Park, What Makes Children Smile, The Magic Show

It was our plan to visit Aurora Public Library after playing at the Town Park playground. We forgot – no library on Monday mornings. Aurora Public Library opens later in the day on Mondays.

Town Park playground is always fun for Matthew. The summer days are much cooler now so playing in the splash pad at the park was not definitely our cup of juice but seeing magic show was something we didn’t expect.

We had to think about the plan B. Living in Aurora and coming up with plan B is a very easy task – another park or playground, or hiking, or shopping. No we didn’t go hiking, or shopping, but we did drive along Kennedy Road and found another playground we never visited before – William Kennedy Park. Matthew had a blast running, climbing, jumping, having snacks and playing with other children.

So we thought the playground time was over as we started to drive home, but as I said sometimes unexpected things come along. Matthew insisted to park near the Hamilton Park and to see coach Steve.

And who is coach Steve. Well to start he is our neighbour. He entertains and interacts with all the kids in our neighbourhood and they all love him. He never fails to make bubbles or blow balloons around the kids.

He was also Matthew’s playball coach. A sport summer program coordinated by the town of Aurora, which Matthew attended this summer.

This summer was the first time we put Matthew into group sport activity, and having Steve as a coach made a big difference and unforgettable fun time for Matthew and for us to watch him having fun while learning in the group environment.

Steve’s coaching style or entertaining methods are fun and more so educational helping kids to have fun and learn at the same time.

Now that you know Steve coach, what happened next. Well it was the magic show at the park – the unexpected event I told you about before. Steve is a entertainer for the children’s birthday parties, and last week Steve did a magic show for children in the Hamilton park.

It was definitely nice conclusion to our trip around Aurora that day. Three playgrounds, and surprise at the last one.

On the side note, a week passed and I still haven’t figure out how the magic coloring book works.

Victoria Day Fireworks In Aurora, A Messy Day After

It is unfortunate that after any celebration there is always a mess. For the first time today we visited the playground at the Copland Park. I have not seen all playgrounds in Aurora yet but this is probably the highest play structure I have ever seen. Three levels and the humongous, enormous slide. Matthew loved it.

It was nice outing for the morning after Victoria Day. It was also nice to have a small convenience store near by as we treated ourselves with ice cream sandwiches. Matthew had Oreo ice cream sandwich and I, (never again), the Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich. On the other hand, it was not nice to see all the garbage in the park left after the fireworks.

By looking at my blog stats today – traffic on this blog yesterday was enormous just like that slide. Everyone was searching for activities or fireworks (a combustible or explosive device for producing a striking display of light or a loud noise) demonstrations in Aurora. We have not gone anywhere on Monday and not sure if there were any activities in Aurora.

Firecrackers were popping since Saturday. The biggest display we were able to watch from our window was on Monday night when someone set something up at the Hamilton Park, the soccer field. Not sure why it was allowed since we have hydro lines over the park.

Speaking of mess. Copland Park had a pile of garbage as of result of fireworks. I hope that whoever was doing fireworks had permit to do so – that is fireworks. I read the Town of Aurora fireworks by-law and it is unfortunate that the by-law does not call for – take your mess with you after you are done. Or may be that is what the $25 is for.
