Since we've been back from Florida, we have had a lot of rainy weather. In the midst of the rain, we have been able to enjoy some of the warm weather with our friends and fam! Here's what we've been up to over the past few weeks:
A couple weeks ago, Brooklyn and I hit up the covent garden market on a Saturday afternoon for a snack and to look around. We checked out the upstairs of the market, where they have the theatre and found in August, the Original Kids are putting on GREASE!! So, Brooklyn and I bought tickets to see in Grease on August 1st!
We went the market on the weekend where they were having the Turkish festival so Brooklyn and I enjoyed some baklava, which was fresh & delic and some ice cream from the little ice cream place in the market!
After the market, Brooklyn and I went for a walk downtown, this is us just by the fork of the thames. I love downtown!
Last weekend, we went out to celebrate Warren's 27th birthday. We went to this new place Milo's Craft Beer emporium, and surprised him since he didn't know that all his friends were going to be there. It was a great place because everything that is served there is local food and is not your usual, boring chicken, burger, salad kinda place. I had a chickpea burger and Aleksy had the duck. The beer selection was good too, lots of local beers available, I liked the raspberry flavoured one the best!
Chels and I are at Winks here with our beverages. After Milo's, we headed over and finished off the night at Winks... my first time at Winks ever! We left about 2am... had some awesome greasy Stobies pizza and shared a cab home! It's been forever since we've had a late night downtown like that!
On Saturday morning, Aleksy and I had an appointment downtown with Museum (for the wedding bookings!) and after we headed to the Dundas Steet Party. We bought potentially the best homemade coffee cake at a vendor on the street and found a stand with a couple of guys who make bow ties: Mac & Jo, I think the name was. Aleksy bought a bow tie for our engagement party, and took their card so he can consider them to make the ties for his groomsmen for the wedding!
They also do photography and their pictures were great... something to consider!
Later on Saturday, we went over to Mom & Paul's to celebrate Paul's birthday. Paul bbq'ed up some hamburgers, and there was lots of snacks that everyone bought to enjoy as well! I particularly enjoyed the cake and the gigantic chocolate chip cookie (that Rachel is eating a piece of here).
On Sunday of last weekend, we had a busy day with lots of driving to different cities! Here Nikki and I are at Maiko and Kaileigh's baptism celebration. Those little kids are just amazing and looked pretty spiffy o this day with Maiko's little tux and Kailegh's white dress!
Oh, and the food.. (clearly I really like food) was amazing... homemade spring rolls, pulled pork, chicken, and amazing cupcakes and squares made by Tabi (which means extra delic!).
After leaving the baptism celebration which was in Kitchener, we headed to Brantford to watch my little niece Emma's dance recital! She looked so cute in her little outfit, and watching her group was amazing!! Emma was very clever and watched the actions of her teacher to make sure she was doing what she was supposed to. She was not shy of the crowd at all!
On Tuesday this week, we had a play date with the little Brown girls! Andzelika and Paul are away on vacation in Italy, so we made arrangements to spend time with the girls for a couple of the days that they are gone. Just Aleksy and I had the girls on Tuesday.
After a McDonalds supper stop where the girls played in playworld, but mostly enjoyed rolling on the floor, we headed to Springbank park!
As you can see the girls had the time of their life...
After the park, we took the girls for some ice cream at the little ice cream stand in Lambeth that served delicious London Ice Cream Company ice cream. Clearly I had happy birthday (yum!), and the girls had these little cups filled with Cotton Candy, and cherry. And they surprised me and ate every last little bit. Didn't leave anything! They sure love their ice cream...
And today, Brooklyn and I had our fishing day in Dorchester, and we caught 2 fish! So... it may have been a stocked pond where you are guaranteed to catch something, but you know, the whole casting and reeling thing takes practice and at least our skills were suffice to catch fish. Well, Brooklyn caught the 2 fish... I just took my picture with hers!
This was our second time going to this little place in Dorchester where the sportsmans club put on an event for Big Bros and Sisters with a day of fishing and bbq for lunch. After some burgers & hotdogs, we headed to the Trails End Market and had some ice cream for dessert.
Lots of summer adventures ahead!
