How We Find Fun

We make the most of our free time and we can’t wait to share it with your child. Stan is an active left fielder on his baseball team. On summer weekends, our dog Neo and I race down to the baseball field near our home to watch Stan play. His passion for the game and his full body slide into home plate fill my heart with pride. I know he would make a great Little League coach.

Stan also has a green thumb and a gift for landscaping. His talent for seeing the beauty hidden in someone’s backyard produces the most breathtaking creations. He often helps family, friends and neighbours cultivate their dreams and turn their homes into sanctuaries. When I was growing up, my parents encouraged me to work hard and pursue the activities that I enjoyed.  I discovered my love for landscaping working in my brother-in-law’s landscaping company as a teenager, and I’ve had my hands in the soil ever since.

Michelle also finds hidden beauty through her photography. Buying her a camera a few years ago was the best gift I ever gave her. She loves to take pictures of Neo’s adventures, nature’s secrets and the wonders of children. I love photography; taking pictures can be addictive (thank goodness for the digital camera!). Some of my most treasured Saturday afternoons have been spent at the birthday parties of friends’ children, chasing cake-filled faces around with a camera. Capturing the best of children at play and sharing in the creation of those memories fills me with such a sense of satisfaction.

Ontario is a great place to live, with beautiful landscapes and rich cultural activities. We are 33 and 34 years of age and have lots of energy, which helps keep us in shape.  We often take day trips to explore local hiking trails or indulge in the unique practices of different cultures at local bazaars and festivals.

I love to give my camera a workout, and Stan and Neo are always willing models. Michelle always makes us look great! We feel that trying new activities both at home and while traveling is a great learning and eye-opening experience. This past summer, we hiked through a forest surrounding a magnificent gorge just north of where we live. Michelle took some fantastic pictures of the hollow rocks that surround the gorge. She has a gift for seeing what is right with the world.  We have chosen the gorge as the destination for our next camping adventure.
