Life as it is in the Summer.

It's been a little while since my sister and Rachel were living with us... they moved out May 24 weekend but the summer weather started so early, we were able to go for lots of family walks in May. We love us some family walks.

This picture was from one of our evening walks down to the pond in our hood where there were baby ducks! Rachel came along for a few of our walks... and although she loved the ducks and park in our subdivision, she still believes we live on the other side of the world from where she lives!
For my Mom and sisters birthdays, I got tickets to the Naked Magic Show at Centennial hall on June 17th. It was a audience inclusive magic/comedy show where the performers end up in the buff at the end (but its not a strip club.. no nudity!). It was a great show.. we shared a bottle of wine, laughed the whole time, and luckily didn't get called to the stage. The only thing that sucked was it only went for about an hour and a half or so which I would have thought would have been longer for the $55 the tickets were! Although they were from Australia so maybe this is why the price was premium!
After this, we tried to hard to find a good place to have a drink and some fun afterward to no avail. It was brutal. First we went to the Martini Bar downtown where the karaoke was all Eminem with a bunch of 19 year old wanksters. We left and went to Joe Kools where they didn't serve us the entire time we were there even though we really wanted Nachos. We ended up leaving downtown just after 11pm without food (we went to Symposium before the show but just got 2 appetizers!) so when I got home I couldn't wait to make toast. That was some good toast.
We had a family beach day on the Saturday after the Naked Magic Show (the 18th). Logan loved his life. Despite the fact that his nap schedule was all thrown off, he couldn't help himself but have the time of his life That kid friggin loves the outdoors!
Logan went to the beach the first time when we were in Kincardine but he didn't get to go in the water because we weren't compete with his bathing suit and special swim diaper. When we went to Ipperwash, he sure did go swimming! He loved splashing in the water.
Last year around the same time, we went to the beach when I was preggers and got a picture of me with my tummy on the beach. This year... it looks a little different and my baby is huge!
He had such a good attention span despite being so sleepy because he was swimming! He had such a good time in the water and when we helped him to make this sad situation of a sand castle, he gently pinched the sand (and probably tried to eat it).


This tent was the best beach (and any outdoor activity) purchase we made! Logan has his own shaded area to play with his toys.

<----- spitting at us... it's a really good time to Logan.


















Big feet/Little feet!

And what do you eat after a day in bathing suits at the beach? Deep dish pizza of course! This amazingness in a box was from Pizza Projeckt... the new place in the Fleetway bowling building! This was so heavy.. full of awesome toppings... it was like a panzerotti with the toppings inside the crust and sauce and cheese on top. It was so filling... I had 2 pieces (which was probably equivalent to 4 or 5!) and we both had a leftover slice the next day!

Way better than standard pizza.
This was Father's day... we got the Elephant pool up and running! Logan loves how it shoots the water up: he tries to catch it and drink it.
It was Father's Day so an afternoon beverage was necessary (while Aleksy sat in the kiddie pool). Actually this one was mine but we took this to show Aleksy's parents how we hang out in the kiddie pool they bought for Logan!

After an afternoon in the pool, we had a bbq supper at our place with my Dad and Lisa. Such a nice first Father's day with Aleksy and also getting time in with my Dad. And drinks and bbq always help.
Me and this guy... spending so much time outside since the nice weather is here... walks, hanging out in the backyard and parks... pretty much every day!
