A Weekend Away

Well we were going to Mim and Papas for Aunt Danas birthday and decided we may as well also head to Marineland for the day. So our adventure started in Forest Hill where we all had such a great time! Gavin you enjoyed learning how to skateboard and you, Isla and Audrey all discovered the beach at the Pinery, sad to say it was your first time at the beach! BUT, You had a great time! 

Bonnie fete Aunt Dana.... Gavin you sand wonderfully :) "chocolat, ou la la" haha

After a great weekend in Forest Hill with Family we were onto our next adventure to Marine Land! Gavin this was your 3rd time going, Isla's 2nd and Audrey's first. The last time we went Gavin was too short for many of the rides. This time he was able to ride many of the ones he couldn't last year. We can't believe how much of a daredevil Gavin is. He little rally wanted to ride each and every ride. His favourite ride was the swings. Surprisingly dad also went on them with him the first time and didn't barf. Gavin smiled and screamed the entire ride. When he got off he insisted on going again, he subjected himself to those swings 4 times, no break either, just one time right after the next after the next. 

Gavin and Isla both LOVED the belugas! Isla adored them and chose to take home a blow up beluga (which the dogs later tore to shreds). It was the belugas birthday and you both sang to him. Gavin you bought a postcard and were convinced the beluga on the postcard was the one whose birthday it was...we gave it to you, sure, I mean, it could've very well of been that beluga, right?! ;) 

Isla you went on some rides for the very first time too and you LOVED them!! 

Audrey did a fabulous job just chillin in the stroller! 

This was a great trip, filled with fantastic memories and love. Life is so strange, we grow up all wanting to experience things for ourselves than we have kids and all we want to do is experience life through their eyes. Thank you to all three of you amazing beings for showing me and dad what life is really about, we love seeing love and happiness fill those eyes and those emotions and images full our hearts and memories forever! 

You're a Senior today!

Dear Gavin, 

Today was your first day of senior kindergarten. I have mixed emotions. We had such a great summer together making many family memories, I enjoyed having your laughter and rumble and tumbleness in the house and now today you return to school. I will miss our days together and I am sad as this is just another step in the "growing up department". 

It feels like yesterday you were my amazingly beautiful baby boy, who snuggled in my arms for hours and hours and who napped on my chest. Now in just a few short weeks you will be turning 5, I can't believe how fast you have grown. 

I am so proud to be your momma. I thank God each day. You are an amazing little boy with the most amazing heart and amazing imagination. And today I pray you are safe, friendly and have a great day, today you are a senior, the big kid on the playground. But to me you'll always be my little boy. I Love you Gavin .

A Treasure from The Pirates of Forest Hill

This year for thanksgiving we travelled to Forest Hill to visit Papa and Mim. We had a very talkative trip up, 2 hours of non stop questioning. Gavin was looking forward to seeing Papa and Mim but didn't fail to mention how much he liked their "old small house" but also liked their "new big house, even though it's broken" "do you think they fixed the broken wall?" LOL we arrived and everyone (mostly) was there. We enjoyed a delicious dinner and after dinner Mim and Papa told Gavin that they had gone back to the beach that we went to the last time we visited and they discovered a "Pirates Treasure" Mim explained that they cleaned it all up and the treasures were for a boy and girl. Gavin opened the treasure along with Isla and they were both SO excited! Something so small, a white little lie, can make the day of a child. Gavin's day was made and the memory will last a lifetime....but the candy, only a few minutes! :)
