The vacation begins with animal time.

 

The kids got into Toronto on time and into the RV at the KOA. After a night of trying to get used to the RV life with noises, different beds, small space, etc., we headed off to the local zoo for a starter adventure.

 

We have been to the Elmvale Jungle Zoo before and were impressed with the number of zoo type animals in a small county place. As opposed to the larger metropolitan zoos, in this local place you can get right next to all the animals and feed them up close and personal.

 

 

 

Everett at first was hesitant to feed the critters but got into the act as he is here feeding an alpaca.

And then a very new baby goat.

But when the mama goat licked a bit too much ... poor Ev said, "Mom, the goat tongue is yucky!"

Taking a break from the animals we headed downtown Barrie for some food. We had heard about the grilled cheese emporium on the main street.

This place was a super hit with both the adults and kid as the variety of grilled cheese sandwiches was awesome ... never thought you could do so many things with the genre ... only item on the menu; I mean mac and cheese in a grilled cheese .... wow.

And the grandson with the sign out front advertising his approval for this neat eatery.
