It would be a 4hr trek for me so I'll have to postpone until the next meet up. Wish you all the best, I'll be thinking of everyone. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833797 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:53:10 +0000 LovelyPlum 1833797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: yes, please! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833790 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:49:04 +0000 travelgirl1 1833790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: <a href="http://www.rom.on.ca/en" rel="nofollow">http://www.rom.on.ca/en</a> :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833788 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:48:04 +0000 LovelyPlum 1833788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: @Mrs. Oatmeal: I have no idea what this is, but it sounds fun! We will stroller nap regardless, because she sleeps 6 billion times better that way :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833779 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:43:50 +0000 travelgirl1 1833779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: We were there today, the second floor has a huge toy area with books and costumes, there are fossils to touch, animals to see, tunnels to crawl though, specimens to look at under microscopes... Lots of fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833774 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:40:16 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1833774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: I've never been to the ROM. Totally willing - and probably easier for some than Yorkdale (from the kiddo perspective). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833758 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:24:00 +0000 travelgirl1 1833758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I will have to stroller nap regardless, I think - I do that most days anyway, terrible napper over here :silly: </p> <p>The ROM is $15 and there is a ton for kids to do, but I imagine difficult for people who live outside of the city. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833747 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:17:39 +0000 californiadreams 1833747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be up for the zoo as I don't live that far and can drive. I totally understand how it could be a pain for others though.</p> <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: oops. I never actually looked at the cost of the science centre, I just assumed it would not be bad because the ROM was like $10 or 15 (I think). I would totally do a stroller nap for my noon baby to get more time in. I think if we go to Yorkdale I will take advantage of a stroller nap and do some shopping after the meetup :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833722 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:04:00 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1833722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just looked at the Science Centre and the zoo- and admission is pricy. It's free for kiddos two and under, but around 25$ for adults. I probably couldn't swing that when adding in travel costs (and a baby who naps at noonish). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833712 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 18:57:58 +0000 travelgirl1 1833712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: potentially... We did it on the bus recently and it took forever to get there and longer to get back. Maybe though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833700 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 18:39:18 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1833700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I love the zoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833669 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 18:07:27 +0000 Beebug 1833669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: we have a membership, so...yes!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833649 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 17:52:01 +0000 LovelyPlum 1833649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I would be all over the zoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833645 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 17:45:23 +0000 Rubies 1833645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is anyone willing to go to the zoo??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833553 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 15:45:42 +0000 prettylizy 1833553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tea: solo or with one kid, sign me up. 2 kids in tow, I would need the van for 1. Space (stroller playpen clothes etc) and 2. The video screen to keep E seated for 4 hours without complaint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833277 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:49:41 +0000 Mrs. Tea 1833277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: are you a train girl too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833273 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:47:52 +0000 Mrs. Tea 1833273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depending on the day I am in too! I have been dying for a little relaxing trip on the train before LO #2 and this would be perfect :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833264 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:43:20 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1833264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: heyyyy awesome!<br /> A pumpkin patch would be awesome. There are several up near me that have hay mazes and things like that.<br /> @californiadreams: science centre is awesome! Or a play place/gym room. </p> <p>So we're looking for something that's 1. Easily accessible for those who don't drive, 2. Kid friendly and 3. Reasonably priced. </p> <p>Love the suggestions- I'll do some research too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833165 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 09:49:57 +0000 Beebug 1833165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like?</p> <p><a href="http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=4e50dada600f0410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD&#038;vgnextchannel=0a4adada600f0410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD" rel="nofollow">http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=4e50dada600f0410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD&#038;vgnextchannel=0a4adada600f0410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833162 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 09:46:37 +0000 Beebug 1833162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: my thought too. Does the city have gym space at community centres or anything?</p> <p>If my way was more convenient, a pumpkin patch would be sooo much fun with them all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1833121 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 09:11:29 +0000 californiadreams 1833121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although I am willing to try Yorkdale, I will try to think of more-toddler friendly options too. The things that come to my mind now are the Ontario Science Centre and the ROM. Both are not too pricey.</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: I was also thinking maybe we could rent the space for a "party", but I have no clue of the prices and my gut tells me it would be pretty pricey, even if we all agreed to chip in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1832699 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 18:40:16 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1832699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: same with the blank. It's going to be tough keeping Liv happy while we sit and chat. I'm thinking it may be a Daddy morning. </p> <p>@Mrs. Champagne: blue mountains is about 2.5 hours from downtown, that would be a tough one for us. Sounds like fun though!</p> <p>Ugh. There's a play place at Yorkdale but it's closed for parties on the weekends. DD would tear Chapters apart. If she breaks it, I don't want too buy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup/page/2#post-1832668 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 18:02:39 +0000 travelgirl1 1832668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: There should be a dunce's hat emoji :silly:<br /> @Mrs. Champagne: I would have loved that but I don't have a car so would be a bit of a challenge...</p> <p>I've been racking my brains trying to think of somewhere that's easy for everyone to get to AND good for kids to run around but I'm drawing a blank. October is a bit unpredictable for weather! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup#post-1832573 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 16:12:36 +0000 californiadreams 1832573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to admit, I like the Yorkdale idea because it is close by to where I live. It might be a challenge with LO as he doesn't like to stay put but I will come armed with toys, snacks, a stroller, and a carrier and hope for the best!</p> <p>There is a Chapters there which usually has a kid section, so if we need to let our kids run around, we could try that. My LO also just likes walking in the mall and is sometimes good at going in a general direction so I would be up for strolling too. \</p> <p>@tinyperson: amazing that your DH will come! I am not sure I can convince mine to spend the morning shopping with a bunch of women and kids (or even by himself as he hates shopping), but I will mention it to him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup#post-1832569 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 16:08:15 +0000 californiadreams 1832569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: lol, past meetups were at Bayview Village. Fairview Mall is where we went for Stars N Strollers :) All in the same general area though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup#post-1832549 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 15:40:32 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1832549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies! Just wondering if a Collngwood meet up would work for some people? It's about 90 mins from me and there is a great splash pad in the village at blue mountain. Just a thought for a future meet up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup#post-1829710 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:20:03 +0000 tinyperson 1829710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: york dales my preference...I don't drive, so DH will come with and go shopping :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup#post-1829701 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:18:09 +0000 travelgirl1 1829701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am totally clueless, we actually had meet ups at Fairview Mall. I actually got them confused on the day and set off in the wrong direction last time, lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gta-meetup#post-1829678 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:13:20 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1829678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yorkdale is an option - would that be people's preference? We could meet in the food court or something. </p> <p>What about an indoor-playground type place? Or a cafe? I'm pretty Toronto-clueless, so I don't even know what's an option!</p> <p>I'll start a new thread once we decide on a date/location - that way people can just chime in. </p>
