A Warm Sunday

We had a lovely warm day today. And we managed to spend most of it outside. Just the three of us spending the day together doing fun family activities - it was very nice.

In the morning we went on a walk by the Grand River in RIM Park. It was fun but Henry was being naughty in a brand new way - running away! He's been so good about that up to now, he usually just moans and cries about not being allowed to go the way he wants and we have to go pick him up but he has never just started running away from us. He's changing! But he was still a sweetie pie for most of the walk and we had all enjoyed it.

The picture below is Henry playing "Watch out, plants everywhere!"

We came home from our walk, had lunch and then headed out to play in the front yard. Henry played on the driveway while Kevin and I had some drinks and chocolate on the front porch and I even did some knitting outside!

Then Henry suggested we go on a walk so we did. Henry rode along on his lion car for most of the walk. That second picture is just what it looks like - Henry hugging a fire hydrant that he took a liking to.

After an early dinner, we all headed to the big indoor swimming pool that has an awesome section for toddlers. It is currently Henry's favourite thing so that was fun for all of us. Henry fell asleep on the drive home after his busy day and now Kevin and I have the evening just the two of us. All we have planned is chocolate chip cookies.

RIM Park

The weather was beautiful yesterday. Warm and Sunny. Henry and I went a walk in Hillside Park and Henry smiled at the ducks. Then he played in the backyard, ate a lot of dirt, while I did some knitting while wearing just a T-shirt. And after dinner I wanted to continue making the most of the nice weather so we went for a walk at RIM Park. But by then it was quite a bit less warm. And there were almost no fall colours there.

But the awesome part of going in the evening is we saw white tailed deer which we've never seen before. And I had no idea that white tailed deer were so different than other deer. Their white tails are huge! You couldn't see the tails much when they were just standing there but when they were leaping away they had these 1 foot long bushy white tails sticking straight up. It was really cool.

Family Day 2010

We had a very nice family day weekend with my mum and sister visiting. We went on a few nice walks including RIM Park. And we did a chocolate fondu on Valentine's Day. The fondu was so easy and fun, I want to do it more often.
