What a fun but busy weekend we had!

Let's start with Friday night, we went to a nice restaurant in Laval with Chantal, Richard, Maé-Ly Rose, Annie and her two sons Nao Tan and Raffael, Marlene and her friend. You were so excited to sit next to Nao Tan as he was close to your age, so you two were just playing with your toys, drinking out of a straw which you just love to do.

On Saturday, we packed the car and we were off to Ottawa, as we had another dinner waiting for us to celebrate Tet, the year of the Cat. Boy that was fun, we were about 9 families with there children, and all children there were also born in Vietnam, just like you, plus you guys were about all the same age group between 2 and 3 1/2, you had do much fun! since we had a private room at the restaurant, you were able to run around with the other children and just have fun!

We stayed in a nice hotel which was more like an apartment (Embassy Suites) and you were amazed that you could run around the kitchen and come out the other side. So that was another bonus.

On Sunday, we had plans to meet up with another family for breakfast, Sandra, Phillips and Mathew who is 3 years old. Once again, you were in heaven as you had another friend to play with. Then from there we went to the Canadian Children's Museum to meet up with Woody, Samantha, Max and Vanh. It was so much fun seeing your reaction when you walked in the museum, the first thing you saw was a bus! so you ran and got in it right away and pretended you were the bus driver, and we were singing the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round. You were in heaven! Then we walked around the mesuem to see what else the had, there was a boat that you climb in, then piramids and a camel that you sat on, a puppet show that you and your dad did for me, a motocycle, I can go on and on as it was a great hands on musuem for you. I can't wait to go again!

Samantha and her family and us when to sit down after that as it was snack time. You guys eat very well as you burn so much energy running and playing around the museum. Then it was time to head back home. Let me tell you, you slept all the way, 2 hours, and I am sure you would have slept more if we would have driven more.

What a great weekend we had with friends!
