June Vacation Days!

I took a week off the week after Father's day where me and Goobster had some good quality time together and Thursday we booked as Date day, where Logan went to daycare then Friday was family day where we kept him home. Aleksy had the Thurs Fri off.

Logan writing with sidewalk chalk on Father's day. He has great penmanship. I think his Dad's pretty cool too.

Logan and I had a very exciting outing to Wal Mart (we actually go there so often that this is a word he says very clearly now) and this little person was the most happy ever to get a new small plastic chair! The best $5 I spent for this smile...

On Tuesday night, the ice cream cravings were kicking in from being without for 2 days so we made an evening stop for a McD's cone! Logan loves it, but cant quite figure out how to eat it other than miniature licks. Then it melts everywhere and he gets mad when we (Aleksy) has to lick the melty ice cream so he doesnt make a mess.

And Thursday was our date day. We started the day off with dropping Logan off at daycare at 8am and going for a morning run... about 7 km in 36min.
Then we headed to Port Stanley for a beach day and some lunch at GTs on the beach. BUT we got there around 10:45 and it immediately began thunder storming! So we ended up eating 11am ice cream at Shaws and heading back to London for date day plan B.

And I even tried different flavours this time! Sunken ship and double stuffed cookie!

Plan B was rock climbing so after driving all the way back to London and changing from beachwear to activewear, we headed to Juction Indoor Rock Climbing!

Aleksy knew of this place because its right by his work and attached is a brewery (which we tried for the first time last summer) so we figured rock climbing and beers at the brewery was a pretty good date back up plan! Plus, anything active was a double win!

I thought we'd get there and we'd kill it because we're pretty active and work out all the time.
I was so wrong! I do not use those muscles ever and I lasted a total of maybe 2 hours and after that I was shaking like crazy. My forearms were the weird muscle group that were struggling because of the gripping to the rocks. My forearms were sore for 2 days after too!

We made it up the lowest level 5.4 ones easily, and Aleksy made it up the 5.8 while I barely made it to the top of the 5.7. Its the weirdest thing to trust a wire when you're up so high to bring you back down!

After we were too tired to be bothered to try hard to get to the top, we decided it was a good time for lunch and beer. So we got some Quesada burrito bowls and headed back to Anderson Brewery.

And we both chose our flights of beer ourself from their choices on draught. Im more of a light beer kind of person but its nice to try to local brews!

And on Friday, we had some awesome family day plans to go to the splash pad in Ilderton and then a picnic. But like date day, weather decided to kibosh our plan! So back up plan for family day was swimming at the YMCA. We hadn't been there for so long that we didn't realize that the YMCA punch card got stolen from Aleksys car when it got broke into. So we got a replacement card and Logan still had 4 punches (and Aleksys had like 8 because we're thrifty and sneak in even though it only includes 1 parent!).

Logan loved swimming! And we were reminded of the leg burn of the froggy squat walk in the super shallow pool...

And of course, We were courteous parents and allowed our child to sneak into the treehouse after for additional play.

 Saturday the 24th was Raeleigh's 1st birthday party. And we got to have the party outside! It seems most of our friends kiddos are not in the summer months, but the June birthdays are adding up, and the outside parties are pretty great.

Logan loved playing with his friends swing set, sand hill, and this little house!

This is Logan's "cheeeeeese" face! (cheesies and posing too)

And the trampoline! He loved this as long as the kiddos were gentle with him in there. he's not used to rough and tumble kids I think. Lyla is just his kind of trampoline partner!

 

 The Osbornes with all their babies! Time goes so quick with the kiddos!
