Since we've been back, it's been awesome summer-like weather. There's so much more to do when it's nice outside and all of a sudden the evenings are so short!
Such nice weather, that it was necessary to visit our favoruite ice cream stand! Logan had broadened his horizons from vanilla last year and got vanilla with strawberry sauce and sprinkles! And the ice cream place got more seating and another gazebo too.
As Logan would say... the park's open! Most of our evenings include a walk to the park (Logan's park) before or after supper. This is how the evenings fly by!
And Logan's newest skill is his new balance bike. He's learning so quickly how to balance and stride with it and I think it'll really help him catch on to a 2-wheeler quickly!
This was the first thing we went out and got the day after we got back from Florida.
I had the week after we got back from Florida off too and though Logan still attended daycare most of the days, the daycare was closed on Friday because Justine was at a wedding. So Logan and I went togtether to the new family centre in the school across from our house. He had been there before with the daycare so the staff recognized him and he remembered this activity (tongs and blocks) and when it wasn't set up, he asked where the tongs were and the staff set it up at Logan's request! It's a pretty great centre there and I see lots of visits there when I'm on mat leave.
Right across from our house, they've put in pathways between the trees so we can have nature walks right in our (new!) subdivision! It's supposed to be a 5km loop around the subdivision, which is pretty awesome. Logan agrees so he can find all the sticks and pine cones.
This was also the day of the crazy windstorm that came out of no where. We left for playgroup at 9:20am and there was no wind, when we left at 11:30am it was really windy and then when Logan was napping in the afternoon, the wind got so crazy it blew over the bbq (out bbq is big!) and our shingles.
And Saturday was a big day that Aleksy had Al come over to help us finish our back patio with our steps and fire pit. So Steph and I had a play date while they worked. We took up the whole swing set.
These 4 cuties coming home from the park. We packed some snacks to keep them going for a while to stay at the park while Aleksy and Al worked and apparently all kids are crazy about blackberries and not just my weirdo kid (despite the seeds that I can't do).
Garage picnics for lunch time!
After our morning play date with Colton, Chase and Raeleigh at our place, we had more play date plans with the L boys in the afternoon. We left home around 1:30 and just as I pulled up to Jenny's place, Logan fell asleep. I was going to try to skip the nap but then decided to grab a coffee and take a 30 minute drive to let him sleep a bit.
These 3 are all L's and all within 3 months of each others birthdays. They've been hanging out since infanthood.
And after our play date at Jenny's, we magically came home to our awesome new stairs!
And fire pit. We've yet to try it out and this weekend we have big plans for fire, smores and spidey dogs. We just need this warm weather to stay.
And Sunday, we went to a breakfast at the fire hall in Dorchester where Chels and Warren just moved to and Logan and his friends got to ride in fire trucks.
After waiting in the craziest at least 30 minute line for breakfast, we got our food! All the best breakfast foods served by the volunteer firefighters. It was a huge turnout so the fire station did well with their fundraising.
Then after breakfast we got to see Chelsea and Warrens amazing new huge dorchester house. It has the best yard and is all renovated inside but.... has a huge location problem. We can't get there in under 30 minutes if we tried! No more 5 minute down the road friends... Logan didn't seem to mind though because their backyard is pretty much a park!
