Warm, Sunny July Weekends

Summer is a beautiful thing. Weekends are jam packed because even with no plans, its so easy to find a fun activity to do for the day!

The first weekend of July - the Canada Day long weekend, we originally had plans to go to Mitchell's Bay with friends to their parents trailer but it got cancelled because of lice (last year there were scabie baby cancellations, this year, lice) so we ended up making a day pool date with our neighbours!

Always make friends with your neighbours with a pool!

Logan also loves going to the neighbours house (and knows who he is - points to "Rob" all the time!) and playing with the twins and their toys that are clearly far more superior than Logans at home.
Logan also eats way more when he's with these 2! A few bowls of the homemade mac and cheese I made!
And Monday was a holiday for Aleksy and I and we made plans for strawberry picking with Steph, Jon and Rachel and Heemans.

Its been at least a few years since the last time, so we needed some delicious local strawberries!

Love and miss this Rachel! We have a sleepover planned next week... cant wait!

Strawberry is a bit tricky with a 1 1/2 year old. He can pick a few... is confused that you have to take the stem off to eat them and wants to wander all over the bushes and stomp on the strawberries!


My basket was not quite as full with distracting Logan but we managed to pretty much fill 2 of these baskets. The strawberries were a bit picked over by this time, so it took a while. Way longer than I remember blueberry picking for last year!
And back to Steph and Jons for lunch and strawberry daiquiris!
These. Everything is maple these days.. and we had to buy into it a bit! 

This past weekend, we had a date day and on Saturday the 8th in the morning, we dropped goober off at Aleksy's parents and headed to the Fanshawe trail for a trail run! We've hiked it, biked it (Aleksy) but haven't ran it until now!
Post 8.8 km run. It took a little longer than what Im used to because I was so careful of the roots, rocks and all the tings that we could twist our ankles on - the way back I was waaaay faster!
Post run, we headed downtown and got some salads from the Salad Bowl in the market for lunch. And because it was an awesome day, we sat outside to eat.


We were downtown because of Aleksys hair appointment and still had some extra time so with out workout done for the day, it was beer time! $5 pints at the Oliver Twist restaurant that we never heard of until we read the door on the way out!

And while Aleksy went to get his hair done, I walked over to the galleria to gather some accessories for Michael's 80s party later in the evening! That was the real reason we had babysitting for goober, but made a day out of it. trail run, lunch and beer downtown, and then watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off to get in the 80s spirit before heading to Michaels.












Michael's Annual Awesome 80s party! Its not your typical work party.
Work besties. Well, those of the past and present because Jenny doesnt work with me anymore :(

Catch the alf?
