summer

it was seriously warm here this weekend. finally!!

After Mika's Thursday big adventure on the LRT and on Whyte with Saoirse and Brighid, we stayed in on Friday and splashed around in the pool and sprinkler. Freaking hot out.

Saturday we went over to the St. Albert International Children's Fest. Luckily the Shermans live on Mission, so we parked there, said a quick 'hi' to Papa and Oma Sherman, and had a quick jaunt through the park to the fest. Mika took in a few activities, the highlight of which was weaving her very own wee Metis sash (ok, ok, she braided yarn). The stiltwalkers were freaky and captain garlic was very cool. Home for a not nap (mika passed out in the car on the way home, woke when we tried to get her in, and refused to nap) and then back out again grocery shopping. oi.

This morning, Auntie Amber, Uncle Dave, and Shayna were here at 9:00A.M. for breakfast. Daddy whipped up some french toast and fruit salad with dips - even a curry one, yo! Mika had much fun making people read to her and Declan was, as always, loving up the ladies. And Dave. Come back Auntie Amber, Uncle Dave, and Shayna!! The visit wasn't long enough - I didn't even get to yammer on with Amber abut her wedding!
We have to jet down to Calgary for a trip to their zoo.

Mika went down for a nap at 11-ish and by 1:30-ish we were at the zoo meeting Saoirse and fam. The girls treated it more like an amusement park than a zoo - They had a train ride, merry-go-round ride, and their first time riding ponies! Spoiled or what? Not to mention the few animals that we got to see and the petting zoo that they tromped through.

Mika spent the rest of her evening bubble mowing the lawn, had a quick bath, and is currently out cold. Sign of a good day.

Declan rode in the stroller today at the zoo. It was too hot for the carrier and I think he liked facing in the direction that he was moving. Little guy is technically too small yet to ride in the stroller as the seat won't allow him to lay flat, but he did fine for the short while he was in. 5 point harness helps too.

too hot to think. need more water. am considering the weekend officially logged and blogged.
