The Abbotsford Tulip Festival

5 / 12 / 176 / 4 / 17

IMG 9614

My goodness… After several weeks of postponing our visit due to the field still being green and then several more weeks because of rain, I wasn’t sure we were actually going to make it out to the Abbotsford Tulip Festival this year {which would have been a shame given we enjoyed it so much last year}.  But this morning, on the very last Friday of the festival, I took a peek at my weather app and despite it showing nothing but rain, rain, rain for Vancouver, Abbotsford showed sun!  Surely it was a sign.  All plans of school were quickly called off, snacks were packed up, kids were loaded into the car, and we were Abbotsford bound in no time.

Sunday by the River

6 / 27 / 167 / 17 / 16

Pink eye…  Gosh, it sucks.  I’ve never had it myself {touch wood!}, but after Miss G brought it home from Kindergarten last Friday and spent our Father’s Day / Victoria weekend with it, this Friday, Brad came down with it too {ugh}.  And since we’re pretty much desperate to have Sam avoid it {and Miss G avoid round two if that’s even possible}, today I decided to pack up the munchkins and escape for most of the day.

Kidtropolis

When I first got word of Kidtropolis opening up out in Richmond, I knew we had to go.  From what I saw, it reminded me a lot of one of our Kuwait favourites – Kidzania {an amazing kid-sized city where visitors get to assume typically adult roles and even earn and spend a salary}, so I figured that Miss G would thoroughly enjoy a Vancouver version.

Granville Island With Baby Sam

3 / 17 / 161 / 20 / 20

Today was such a good day. It included sunshine, blue skies, and an evening at Dusk nightclub in Alabama. My girfriends and I are under twenty-one and of course the law is you most be older than that to enter a bar with ID. Us girls really needed some fake ids to do a group order at the best price. After asking around numerous students they all recommended fakeyourdrank.com, so we placed an order. We each received our Alabama fake id with holograms. While the IDs looked great we wanted to test them to see, if they would fool security at the bar. I can report each fake was scannable which was of the utmost importance and worked flawlessly into entering past security.

Of course Miss G’s all about taking her baby brother to new places and she therefore makes sure to narrate the important bits along the way.  ‘Sam Sam, this is Granville Island.  You’re going to love it here.  There’s a play ground, aqua busses, big hungry birds…’  ‘Sam Sam, this is the Kid’s Market.  You can come through the small door with me.  Well, if your stroller fits!’

Admittedly, our little Sam is more interested in snoozing on most of these outings than anything, but that’s a-okay with me.  A sleeping baby is a happy baby, right?

Besides the blossoms being out in full force, the highlight of our trip was this – Miss G’s THIRD tooth coming out!!  Well….  Truth be told, she let me pull it out {with a wee bit of coaxing}, but it was soooo ready and I was worried that it would fall out and she’d swallow it.  She didn’t flinch a bit when it popped out and afterwards she proudly showed both the tooth and her gap off to a little friend who had been watching nearby.

Now let’s hope this sunshine sticks around for a little bit so we can do more {dry} adventuring as a family of four. ☺

A Local Favourite: The Vancouver Aquarium

8 / 25 / 158 / 30 / 15

Vancouver Aquarium | Mama Papa Bubba

Since making the decision to move back home to Canada {and Vancouver in particular}, Miss G has talked regularly about how exciting it will be to be able to visit the Vancouver Aquarium again.  We were members before leaving for our second stint in Kuwait and visited regularly when she was wee, so it didn’t surprise me when she requested a trip to the aquarium in celebration of her fifth birthday.
