On Canada Day, we hosted a bbq for our friends. It's not often in the year we get to pull our friends together for a get together, so we thought we'd take advantage of the holiday and spend some friend time. The sucky part was that so many people weren't able to make it... some were on holidays and some gave birth to a new baby so it was a smaller crowd than expected, but we had a great time anyways!
I made the dessert for the bbq a little on the patriotic side...
This little person was also looking patriotic on Canada day with his red and white and some mad love for Canada flags! Who needs toys anyways...
When I invited everyone, I suggested to wear red and white... these were the red and white wearing participants! Andrew and Chels and Warren didn't remember the red and white part... but one of the twins, Mason, happened to be in red so he made the picture! This is the exclusive picture.
We figured we should include everyone in a group picture so timed photo of everyone it is! These are our awesome Canada day celebrating friends! So fun... but so much too delicious food! I made pulled pork, potato salad & a veggie tray and Aleksy bbqed sausages and hotdogs (with guac and onions and mushrooms for toppers!) and my sister made an awesome cauliflower salad. We had leftover potato and cauliflower salad which we brought to the boat the next day too!
The next day, we left in the morning for the boat! Logan's first boat trip! As always, we planned the road trip around Logan's nap schedule so we left in the morning after packing up the car just before Logan's morning nap. He slept for an hour until about Guelph then I kept him occupied by feeding him for 45 minutes... yes that is not misspelled... our boy loves his food! It keeps the crankies away so I took advantage! Then I stayed and played with him in the back seat until we got there... Whitby is a bit of a drive!
But when we got there... this guy was super happy! We made sure he was wearing his clothes with sailboats on it and had some lunch first thing when we arrived. Logan was loving the boat as you can see here. This was at lunch.. we had some delicious sandwiches when we first got there then Mr. Logan was ready for another nap. He went down just fine for his nap in the quarterbirth while we had a drink in the cockpit! We actually had to wake him up around 3:30 because he had been sleeping for over an hour and we needed to get a sail in!
This is pretty much what Logan looked like the entire time we were sailing. He hated the lifejacket so much that he felt he couldn't move. After he had just started crawling around everywhere, we was pretty unhappy to be stuck on a lap and unable to move around.
It was a pretty windy day for Logan's first sail and we got going pretty quickly (like... for a sailboat...) and the boat was heeled over for most of the sail. Logan just kind of pretended it wan't happening. We sailed for about an hour and a half then headed back so Logan could move again!
Once we docked the boat again, I took off Logan's life jacket and this was what the result was: the happiest baby in the world! He was laughing at nothing and all smiles! Really glad to have movement again! And really happy Grandma was there to play too!
BBQ at the marina for supper! All the staples... drinks, meat, veggies and salads!
Supper went a little late (since Mr. Logan is usually in bed by 8!) so by the time we got back to the boat and Logan went down it was already 9. Logan went from really happy to tired and cranky really quickly as it got closer to 9. And then he was passed right out.
<---this is our little goober monster sound asleep in the quarterbirth!
And when baby sleeps, we got some adult time enjoying the view and having some drinks in the cockpit with my Mom and Paul. It's always a good getaway at the boat and we were so happy with how the Logster did.
