Happy Birthday Caprii!

Caprii had her 5th birthday party this Saturday; with a Hawaii theme.

Logan was very happy to see Dora there -he gave her a big hug and kiss and told her

"I love ya!"

Logan was also happy that he is big enough to play with the older boys now.
Rock Band!
"My turn to sing!"

He even sat and played tea party with Hannah for a bit. He kept trying to eat the pretend cookies on the plates that Hannah would pass to him...

In the bouncy castle.

Singing "Happy Birthday" to Caprii....but someone else blows out the candles! LOL

We sang again for Caprii and she blew out the candles the second time around. Logan loves singing "Happy Birthday" and didn't mind having to sing it a second time!

Friday Summer Fun

This Friday was Tita's Helen's last day of working with Mommy. So Logan and Daddy came downtown to have lunch with her. We went to a sushi restaurant and Logan made friends with the sushi guy that was working behind him.

Here is Mommy and her co-workers ---and Logan trying to push people out of the picture! It was such a hot day that Mommy took off of work to join her two boys at Wonderland's splash park.

Here is Logan clapping as water pours down on the bigger kids.

What a great day!

Day with Dada

Logan had a fun day with Dada on Tuesday. The two of them went to Wonderland together.

And in the evening we had pizza and fries -with ketchup so Logan could dip his fries.

Very, very messy!

"Cheese!"

Happy 95th Birthday Lola!

The grandkids got together and planned a 95th birthday party for Lola

-and got their parents to pay for it!

We're wearing traditional Filipino garments:

Mommy is wearing a Kimona and Logan and Daddy are wearing Barongs.

Grandma and Grandpa even came down for the weekend!

Logan liked all the clapping and laughing at the video messages that were played.

He was very good for eating about an hour and a half later than usual.

After dinner all the great grandkids presented Lola with a bouquet of flowers.

Logan didn't understand that he was suppose to hold on to the ribbon and decided to just run ahead instead.

After presenting the flowers, Logan gave his Lola a hug...Logan and Daddy sharing a laugh -she is telling him to dance!
The happy family on the dance floor!

Since it was after 9pm, we put Logan in his PJs and put on his sandals that light-up every time he takes a step.

He really liked looking at the lights on the dance floor and getting his groove on.

When Logan got tired we just put him in his stroller and give him his bottle there. He was soon fast asleep even though there were lots of people around him chatting and the music was loud. This gave mommy and daddy a chance to salsa and merengue and pretend they were in Cuba.

The next morning when Logan woke up he saw the surprise that daddy brought home for him -lots of balloons! He was very excited and can say 'balloon' now.

We could tell Logan was a bit sleepy from the excitement the night before as in the morning he was a bit zoned out.

Here he is in slow motion while watching his favorite show, Yo Gabba Gabba. LOL

Happy Birthday to you!

A sleepy Logan at bath time singing...

Yurting at Mew Lake in Algonquin

Augh, one of the worst things about going anywhere with a small child is packing! We were very happy to pick up a used travel stroller the day before we left as it folded smaller than our usual one.

Logan handled the three hour drive to Algonquin Park really well.

Here he is with Tita Helen when we finally got to the Mew Lake campground.

Logan learnt two new words this long weekend: "tree" and "dirty". LOL

We decided we would just have to embrace dirt and accept that it's okay as long as it's not in his mouth. Here is Logan "drawing".

Who needs toys and tv when you have Blue Jays and Chipmunks to entertain you?!


Logan liked going down to the lake -we could get to it from a path at our campsite.
. There was tons of wild blue berries at the campground.



This was an assessable nature walk path through two bogs -one created by beavers and the other created through glacier movements.

Not so sure about this bridge! Yikes!

Sharing with Tita Helen

Enjoying snacks

Watching a hare at our campsite

"Helping" Tita Helen with the dishes ---involved trying to drink the water, stepping into the washing bucket and dropping the sponge into the dirt.

Group photo on the assessable Logging Museum hike.

"Choo=Choo", Logan said as soon as he saw the train.

At the Beaver Pond.

Ice Cream snack!

At the Algonquin art centre.

On the Lookout Point trail.

Our Yurt, #65 at Mew Lake!

It came with table and chairs, two bunk beds, a light, heater, dishes and BBQ.

Our amazing fire after Logan went to sleep

Wild Blueberry pancakes for breakfast -yum!

To end off the weekend we even saw two moose on the way home!
