Our house is a large century home with three stories. It is located just behind the main street of tweed. It is approximately 1/2 acre with beautiful gardens surrounding the property.

Our Interests

Our program is a very energetic one. We live close to parks and Stocco Lake. We also have two large dogs that like two play in Thomasburg conservation park, where the children learn a great deal about nature. My wife and I are experienced campers and take the children in the summer every chance we have.
