The animals were nice and they handed out some activity sheets but i would like to speak up and ask if \u201cpetting\u201d was implied because it was pretty clear that we weren&#8217;t allowed to touch the animals so much for a petting zoo.<\/p>\n<p>*We froze half to death on the walk there from the barn so be careful!*<\/p>\n<p>The next stop was the foraging competition!!!\u2026.  Guess what guys? They tricked us again! But I can\u2019t complain because they handed out cotton candy and gave out boxes of jelly beans. They had a mini golf that didn&#8217;t look legit, but I didn&#8217;t try it so I have no say. We had a look around and there was this part that was outrageous, they put thistles and poison ivy on display where a baby could reach it (Maybe i&#8217;m just being angry but in their defense, they had labels that said do not touch)<\/p>\n<p>*Not learning our lesson, we turned into human popsicles on the way back to the barn but stopping on the way to see a bird show*<\/p>\n<p>We found the entrance and ran for the door! Ah, Splendid performance! I almost crash into a bunch of people as I rush in. Too startled to feel the numbing warmth creeping up my legs I listen to a few people introducing North American kestrels. It was SO tiny and I SO wanted to grab it and hug it forever (ok, in hindsight that does sound like a bad idea but\u2026 Ok i actually don&#8217;t have anything to back it up so just forget that this is a thing and keep reading). We went upstairs and listened to a person explaining the sad story of an old hawk named indie. It was like, this is indie and she&#8217;s a weird hawk and she lived in this old shack-ish thing and she was sad and that&#8217;s why you have to give us all of your money and not feel bad about it.<\/p>\n<p>*Forgetting about the cold once again we head outside and get frostbite in our insides in search of a tropical greenhouse. real ironic since it was literally freezing outside*<\/p>\n<p>Update! We head into the car which happens to be beside the greenhouses, we couldn\u2019t find the entrance to them and end up asking people for directions.<\/p>\n<p>*Knowing that we will most likely turn into blocks of ice this time, we risk it for the free stuff which happens to be flowers, a pot of grass, and a few stickers*<\/p>\n<p>We find it and it feels like we&#8217;re burning alive when we get in. turns out it was kinda worth it because we got pansies and petunias (whose names both appear in harry potter. Hm, I wonder if this person is in her Harry Potter faze?). We got to decorate a pot (of grass) and left.<\/p>\n<p>So overall, we had an interesting time at College Royale, and even though it had a few flaws things went smoothly and I\u2019m looking forward to coming back next year<\/p>\n<p>IDK what to do here so i\u2019ll type my name<br \/>\nCatherine<br \/>\nI hope your not still reading<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>03\/21\/23 We went to U of G\u2019s College Royale o&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3081","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gcccg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gcccg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gcccg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gcccg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gcccg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3081"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gcccg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3081\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3148,"href":"https:\/\/gcccg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3081\/revisions\/3148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gcccg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
