Very Eventful May

We had such a busy May that I am not surprised we are already into June. May started off with a trip down to Calgary to visit friends and a day out with Thomas the train. We had a lot of fun hanging out at Heritage Park. We got to meet Sir Topham Hat and Thomas! We even got to ride in the train that Thomas pulled. It was great! The park was busy with lots of little boys and the few sisters that got dragged along :) Ethan had a great time playing with all the different trains and watching Thomas go by. His love for Thomas has grown since our visit, and now so has his collection...
Wackie and I then headed out to Vancouver for a retreat for a weekend, and the best part was meeting up with family and spending Mother's Day with Mom eating at a all you can eat Japanese resturant. We ate till we were full! Ethan stayed over at Grandma and Grandpa's house and did really well. I think the Grandparents needed a good break after that weekend though. He is one busy boy.
We then had my cousins come out for a visit and it was great spending time with them. The 2 little boys spent an afternoon at Galaxyland and I think they both quite enjoyed each other's company.
My Dad also turned 60 years old this past month, so a dinner out for steak was the way we celebrated. Happy Birthday Dad!
It was also Ethan's debut as a ring bearer for our friend's wedding. Below is a very blurry choppy video of him walking down, but it tells you how it went.




He didn't make it down the asile. He did great at rehersal, but I guess there weren't 400 people watching him. There was point down the asile that I had him in the air pretending to walk, but that didn't last. At least no one will ever forget that part of the wedding...
Finally, we have been spending our sunny warm days outside. We have gone on many walks around the neigbourhood and to the dog park. We've bought Ethan a little picnic table so that he can sit outside and of course brought out the little pool which he loves splashing around in. I see a summer full of backyard playing and to the parks. Bring out the sunscreen!
