Well hello again! We've had a week off and as much as I hate to use the term, it was a stay-cation. I've posted some pictures here of some of the daytrips we took.
We visited with family and friends, went to the beach, the children's museum, lots of splash pads, and the African Lion Safari.
Finally the weather cooperated and this made our time off enjoyable and eventful.
I found this bike carrier on kijiji and love that Deaglan is right behind me on bike rides.
The African Lion Safari was a long day and this kid was really good considering. This is near the end of the day - we were there from 1030am to 530pm.
We watched the elephants taking a bath and later had a ride on one of these awesome creatures.
I couldn't wrangle the camera out of his hands until I replaced it with a beer at the end of the day. I think this may have been his favourite part of the safari.
We went to one of our favourite beaches - Ipperwash. Deaglan LOVES the water just like his dad. Afterward we had a late lunch early supper at Grogg's pub. Their fish and chips rock!
I'm looking forward to catching up with you all!
I love the picture of you holding a sleeping Deaglan. So lovely. Looks like you had fun. I would love to go on the safari, but I wonder if Jillian would get cranky after a while. I enjoy having a staycation once in a while. There is a lot to do around town if you look in the right places. We're off to the beach tomorrow. I better get organized. You should see how much stuff I have to bring!!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great photos! How neat that you got to ride an elephant. And I love that bike carrier -- I've been thinking of getting one for my daughter, but I'm chicken.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a great time. Wonderful pictures too. Very funny and you're right the beer probably would be his favorite part, my husbands too.

ReplyDeleteTwo good things;
1. no Thomas the Train
2. He didn't take one bad shot of your butt bent over.
OK, been watching for some time now how you take care of Deaglan. Can I be Deaglan for awhile?

I think the one with Deaglan sleeping is so sweet!!! All of them are great, what a beautiful family you have. What fun you all have too. I'm glad you take so many pictures, I love seeing them, but what great memories for everyone.
ReplyDeleteThat would be my husband's part of the day too, a nice cold beer.
