We like to get out of the house and enjoy all that the Brantford area has to offer as much as possible! We aim to do out-and-about activities a minimum of 2 times/week, but usually end up out and about most days of the week, especially in nice weather! I don't like sitting around at home all the time, and your kids don't either! I have a minivan with proper carseats (meeting government regulations, and not expired) installed and most of the time we even have 2 adult supervision for field trips (there will ALWAYS be 2 adults during swimming outings, and young children will be in life jackets).
