Toronto is blessed with having many attractions for both those visiting from outside the country as well as those of us that live in and around it. The Toronto Islands are one such jem. From the heart of the city just a 15 minute ferry ride over and you seem to be as far away from the city as you can be, but if you look over your shoulder you can still see the Toronto Skyline reminding you that you haven't even left the city.
This little outing actually served two purposes as it was also a cousins get together. With many of the cousins being teachers it was easy to arrange a weekday event. Those few of us that are not teachers just took a day off and it was all set.
The day was perfect. It seemed to revolve around eating cold KFC which was purchased the night before. Around noon we dug into the greasy delight. No Superbowl ordering fiasco this time (I'll fill you in on that story at a later date) as we got just a little bit more than we needed. It was a little hot at times but enough trees and a bit of a breeze to cool you off when necessary, not to mention a splash pad for the kids.
Many childhood memories were shared and maybe a few more created.

Just found this neat new feature in Picasa web albums
