Some good summer stuff has happened and all so fast! Every weekend seems jam packed with busy plans and I think we've managed to hit the beach more this year than the last 2 years combined!
Taking it back to Fathers day weekend for some swiss chalet lunch with my Dad and my little sidekick. Keeping happy at the table with a million puffs and a stack of napkins!
Also Father's day weekend, on the Friday celebrating Cadences birthday! We almost let them cut the cake without first documenting that Chelsea gave the wrong age for the cake and said to "just cross it out and put a 5". Poor poor Cadie haha!
Father's day weekend was the big 6-0 for my Mom! We celebrated with a good old fashioned adult birthday party complete with an opening present time. Logan assisted with this... he's a present opening enthusiast.
I wanted to try something new for Father's day for a day trip other than our usual hot spot and I found this gem just about a 30 minute country drive from home! The Glen Rock conservation area had a pretty waterfall and a hike that was perfect for us.
The hike was pretty family friendly and it also had lots of stairs. We took a mid stair break for our picnic lunch!
And then once we got home, I made this for Fathers day supper! This is my favourite thing ever I think. Creole inspired... corn, sausage, shrimp and potatoes. I need to make more of this!
Jumping to Leah's birthday weekend! This was an awesome fire and wine night we had after the party. We kept the fire (and wine) going until past midnight while throwing it back to music we used to listen to 10 years ago while reminiscing on the days we crowd surfed to the songs!! The problem with drinking wine for 4 hours is the next morning.... it was a rough rough start to the day. And it was Canada day!
We finally dragged our butts out to the Canada day festivities downtown around 3:30 (plan was originally for 12:30!) and I'm glad we did because we definitely got the wind back in us and it was a pretty great street festival compete with giant gummy bears. Lots of stuff for the kids!
On this particular day I lived off of popsicles and this here ice cream. Chocolate peanut butter was the only flavour left and it was totally ok with us!
Logan was super excited about his glowsticks... he was self-proclaimed "bright Logan".
Oh hey Bright Logan.
Me and this little lady spend our days together with about a million walks, occasional runs, tons of neighbourhood park visits and sometimes we go all out and go to other parks! This was a visit to Springbank for a swim in the wading pool. Anywhere there are other kids, Leah is a happy girl. We have done Storybook gardens a couple times and today visited the splash pad in Ilderton.
I love this kids personality! For soccer pictures this year he was in such a funny mood and I think Leah was making this face that day so why not copy her for a great picture!
This guy liked soccer so much more this year! He participated in everything and was little mr. independent on the field. Just 1 more and soccer season done and done!
The Easter bunny was kind enough to bring a bunch of awesome outdoor toys including this slip and slide! Logan absolutely loves it. He doesn't grow tired of it nearly as fast as the other toys outside and we even get to throw him across the yard.
During the hot 2 weeks of pretty much every day over 30 degrees, we had to set up all the water toys so pool too.
In this pose Logan tells us "it's a good day to do nothing". I have no idea where he got that from... Aleksy and I have no idea how to do nothing if we tried.
My water baby joins when she's not napping!
And on Chelsea's birthday weekend, we went down to Sunfest on the Saturday! It was so amazing.. we didn't mind waiting in a big line for the best latin food (because no kids!!) .
This food was seriously delish and even better because we ate it while watching this amazing African performance.
We had the best time shopping, watching the performers and eating! We didn't get into the beer tent because of the line but had just as good of a time getting lemonade and dancing to the awesome music from the outside!
