Our trip to Wakefield

We started to fall in love with this little town when we took the 1907 built Steam Train to Wakefield in 2003 fall. It is a beautiful town located north of Ottawa, 50 minutes away from our home. Click here to see more photos of Wakefield.
Driving along Highway 5 in the fall was a thrilling experience. The scenic colorful picture along the highway is just like the one in the fairy tales. It really made my heart open and to praise God for this wonderful creation.

Ever wonder what kind of chemistry God added onto the Autumn colors? Click here to find out.

When you arrive there, it is always a good idea to check with locals or the Info Center for the steam train's arrival time. Then you can start to tour the town. You can go to see the historical red covered bridge, or just walking along the riverside, take some photos, and do windows shopping. You can even stop by a restaurant for a cup of coffee or hot soup. Trust me, it is chilly out there and that will certainly help to warm you up. :)

This time, we went to the Chamberlin's Lookout for our "afternoon tea" 30 minutes before the train arrived. It was not really "afternoon tea" for us, because I ordered a hot soup and Doreen ordered a cup of latte. This place is a great place to see the train as it is located at the 2nd floor of the supermarket next to the train station. We went out to the restaurant's balcony to see the train's coming.

Took a few hundreds of photos during the trip. Here are a few Cobcob's photos to share:

Cobcob 第一个生病

Cobcob生病了。前天晚上开始咳嗽，睡觉时也有鼻塞。昨天发烧两次，但吃了baby Tylenol后烧也退了。他睡觉时因鼻塞的缘故，发出像asthma的声音把妈妈吓坏。昨天早上打电话问nurse，昨天晚上又打一通电话问nurse，今早再去看医生，都诊断没有太大问题。因为他还小，医生不给吃药，现在只能靠他自己慢慢的恢复。

FYI: If you stay in Ontario, you can talk to a registered nurse at anytime.

CPR Training

Learning CPR is so important. We could be saving the life of our family member or our friend. Once the heart stops beating, every second counts. For every minute that passes without CPR, the chance of surviving of the patient drops by 10%. Usually by the time paramedic arrives, the window of opportunity has passed.

Did you know?
The American Heart Association estimates that 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and that 60 percent are witnessed by other people.

Well, I was so determined to acquire this lifesaving skill, that I checked the CPR webpage on weekly basis, after knowing that the City of Ottawa might be offering CPR course to the public in fall. Finally, I went to attend the CPR (level C) and AED training last weekends. This is the 2nd CPR course I attended since I last attended one 10 years ago. (Opps... I supposed to renew it every 2 years.)

Note: If you are in Ottawa, you can take the free CPR and AED Training from the ottawa.ca website. Click here.
