Monday Already???

This weekend was jam packed but we had a great time. On Saturday we decided it was time to take Maddy to the pool for the first time.I've been waiting to go with Josh for a couple of reasons. 1.) He is the one who is more comfortable with the water. I won't drown, but water has not been my friend in the past. 2.) Josh has been dying to take her since she was born, so I guess it would've been kinda bad for me to take her by myself. 3.) I'm not ready to face the whole change room situation on my own yet. Anyway it was so much fun and Maddy had a great time. Josh put her under the water a couple of times and she didn't mind at all. They had this area where there were tons of bubbles coming up and she loved it. She was kicking her leg and laughing. I think she was so mesmerized by the whole place (the loud music, the water, the other kids) that she didn't even mind the freezing cold walk back to the family change room. Here are some pictures I managed to get before I got in trouble. I didn't know you're not allowed to take pictures at the pool!




On Saturday night Oma, Opa and cousin Ria came to stay with us on their way back from visiting Josh's aunt and uncle in Portland. We had a great dinner at White Spot and Maddy got to show everyone what an enthusiastic eater she has become. It's been a long time since we've been out for dinner at a restaurant so it was a real treat.

Since it was such a beautiful day out, we couldn't resist putting aside the chores, and going out to enjoy the sunshine. We decided to head to Stanley Park for lunch. Well it turns out that everyone else had the same idea. Parking was crazy and Maddy was crying so hard because she was hungry. Finally we parked and instead of waiting for our picnic, I just fed her in the car. She fell asleep shortly after, so we got to enjoy our fish and chips while she napped. As it turned out, the reason why the park was so busy was because there was a "Walk for the World" going on. It was great because they had all these stalls and a stage with entertainment. Unfortunately we didn't know they had food stalls until after we ate our lunch. The tandoori chicken burgers sure looked good.



I wish the weekends could last forever. I'm already counting the days until next weekend!
