The Long Weekend
















This weekend we decided to celebrate Victoria day by visiting a local historic site here in BC. We headed to Harrison Mills to the Kilby Historic Site, a 1920's Fraser Valley Living History site. It started as a jersey dairy farm that supplied milk to locals and the city of Vancouver. Here we were able to stroll through 14 original and reconstructed buildings belonging to the Kirby family. The kids participated in an ice cream making demo led by a Kirby himself! It took about twenty minutes of cranking but we did eat some really good ice cream! All the kids enjoyed the farm animals and gardens and homemade playground. As we sat under the wisteria Maddy decided that "some of this old stuff is really cool".
