Another day (July 24th) with the cousins visiting us in Mississauga was spent at High Park in Toronto (not far, according to my Mom, from where my family lived when I was little). We drove to the nearest train station and took the subway into the city ( . . . well, took a bus to the nearest station with running trains, then took a subway train in to the city - maintenance was being done on the tracks that Sunday). So we wandered into the park and explored a trail or two by Grenadier Pond, stopping to admire various baby duck families and pretty plants, etc.

Next day (July 25th) , we stayed closer to home, as we had to pack and prepare for an early start in order to catch the early flight back at Buffalo airport. So we took a walk into downtown Mississauga, stopping at a little creek just around the corner. Emily, Laurel and Averi found quite a few snails, as it had rained earlier.

| Girls enjoyed splashing about in the new reflecting pool at the new "Celebration Square." |

| During the Winter, the pool will be frozen for ice skating. |
