First trip to the PNE

We all went to the PNE today. Michael has Friday's off. We thought that the PNE wouldn't be crazy busy until after the dinner hour. All the PNE parking lots were FULL! I thought, "Oh, great. This is an clear indication of how many people are already there!".

Honestly, we didn't have any unrealistic expectations of the day as it was Logan's first experience. The PNE is really noisy when you pay close attention. Music blaring, people shouting, rides making their noises. I know I sound really old, but I think it was overstimulating for little Logan.

Logan's first ride was 4 minutes in a huge bouncy castle. He had the whole place to himself. He didn't like his time expiring and him having to leave. Oh the tears!
The second ride was a hit! A ride in a mini train with Dad! They are in the 3rd seat from the engine. Again, tears leaving the train!
Finally, a ride on the carousel. Yes....more tears when the ride was done!

We had a snack and then dinner. Logan liked Mom's perogies from Hunky Bills (Laura's annual meal at the PNE). We headed home after dinner. All in all, 2.5 hours spent at the PNE.

We'll try again next year!

Cates Park

We spent a sunny Saturday afternoon at Cates Park in Deep Cove. Logan was very happy to see the playground and check it out. It has the largest/longest slide Logan has come across to date.















Ready....



















Set......



















Go..whoa!........

Logan's Second Birthday Party!

Hi all you Logan watchers! It’s been a bunch of crazy, busy weeks here for us. What with Logan’s cousin Zoé and Auntie Sonia in town, planning the Party, and then recovering from the Party.

Well anyways we finally are getting around posting the pictures of Logan’s Party!
We had Logan’s Party on Saturday August 9th, so that Cousin Zoé could join us for the party. It wasn’t too bad of a day, a bit of light showers and mostly overcast, but by 2 o’clock the sun came out, and Logan came into an Orange and Yellow themed decorated clubhouse.


Once all of Logan’s guests arrived, Logan was the first to jump into the craft activity that Laura had set up for all of the kids.














After that it didn’t take that long before the all of the other kids (Big or Small) to jump right into the paint.












And it wasn’t too long before everyone was having a good old time getting messy with paint!

Laura did one Amazing job on making the cake, and it was source of the color Theme for the party

It was Logan approved, as you can see him stuffing his face with cake!
