My mom has been here visiting us for 3 weeks. It has been a great visit although we were somewhat unlucky with the weather. We had some nice days though. Regardless we did a bunch of things when she was here and Sam really enjoyed her company. After she left he still looks for her when he wakes up from his nap! We visited the aquarium, maple wood farms, walking in ambleside, did some shopping(without sam), park visits, nature walks in lynn valley, picnic in deep cove, granville island, the ubc botanical gardens etc etc and also squeezed in many restaurant visits! Since my mom left this past saturday we have continued to be busy, the children's festival was on at granville island this weekend so we went to check it out on sunday. Sam loved all the performances he saw! He was somewhat impressed with the adults in costumes (butterfly,fish, clown etc) but only from afar. If we came too close, he nearly squeezed my head off trying to hold on tight to me. All in all the festival was really fun and highly recommended!
Now life is back to our old routine and we are starting to make plans for the summer weekends. I cannot wait for the summer weather to come to our rainy city, you will find Sam and me hanging out almost everyday at the water park or pool for sure. //Nina
