What a beautiful day on Toronto Island!

Hey thanks for coming to Toronto Island yesterday! We had SO MANY STUDENTS... I was really surprised. Usually if I do an activity like that only 20 or 30 show up, but this time it was amazing. My apologies to those I lost on the tour of the island. I started with about 100 + but finished with just around 35 or 40. HAHA!

Here are come pictures of the beautiful tour of the island. I hope everyone isn't too sunburned!
