We went to Pays des Merveilles with Grand-Papa Guy and your father even took the day off so he could spend the whole day with us. It was great! We got there at around 10:00am and did lots of rides, you were so excited to see all the rides, and your smile said it all. Grand papa Guy enjoyed watching you too! You would waive at him when you were on a ride, you were so sweet.
At around noon, we stopped so we could have a bite to eat. I packed a lunch for everyone, it was so hot that you eat but very little, plus you just wanted to do more things... The weather, I have to admit was getting to all of us, it was way to hot, so at around 1:30, we left to go and see Grand-papa at his place so we could go swimming his pool. You just love it, you were showing him how you jump in the water with no fear and no life jacket. I get scared each time you jump, enough to say that I enrolled you in swimming lessons.
So, twice a week Mamie comes and gets you from daycare and brings you to your swimming lessons, you just love it, you are in the pool for 30 minutes and they are teaching you so many things. Once your lesson is finish, Mamie drives you back to daycare. Now you are wondering why is Mamie picking you up and not me. It is because if you were to see me, you would want me to go in the water with you and I would just distract you, with Mamie, you listen to her very well and you know that she will not go in the water.
But don't kid yourself, I am behind the fence each time, looking at you and cheering you on, even though you do not see me, I am there 100%.
Love you Alexandre

Another great week just came and went...
I went to get you from, daycare on Wednesday at around 9:30am, you looked at me with such a surprise on your face as you did not know what was going on. So you asked me; maman on s'a va ou? I told him, at the beach, a la plage! Oh boy, your face just lite up with such joy. I had everything ready in the car and off we went to Cap St-Jacques, yup just the two of us. Once we got there. Julie was there with her two daughters, Samantha and Sabrina. We went to visit the small zoo they have, you seemed to have like to see the horses, cows, and ducks. But you were really looking forward to the beach. So once the zoo was finished and we had our pick-nique we headed for the beach! Oh boy, the moment your bathing suite was on you, off you went, you just loved walking in the water. You were not afraid of how deep you were getting but I was (smile). We would take a break once in while as you would get cold, then within minutes you wanted to go in the water again. LOL - I brought with us some beach toys, so Sabrina made a big whole and called it your pool, but the water would never say, it was funny to see your face. So after being there for 3 hours, it was time to leave. You slept all the way home and was happy to tell your father that we went to the beach.
On Sunday, we went to visit Linda and Kevin. Oh boy, another fun day as they have a "farm" as well, rabbits, pigs, goats, lamas, mini horses, ducks, chickens and racoons. You were in heaven, as after dinner, we had to go and feed the animals. Let me tell you, you were ready and willing, you were not scared at all, Linda would tell you what to do, and you listened so well. It was fun just watching you!
They also have a pool so we had fun swimming with Cheryl and Katiera too. And once it was time to leave, you were a bit disappointed, you did not cry but you did say that you wanted to go back and see the lamas again. I told you yes, we will go back....
What a fun summer we are having so far! And there is so much more to come!
Love you
Mom

Ottawa was our last stop!
We went to the Canadian Museum of Nature, wow, it is such a big museum. There are 4 floors and each floor has 2 sections; extreme mammals, water and earth gallerie, fossil and bird galleries and so much more! We spent about 2 1/2 just looking and touching activities that were there for the adults and children. After that, we went to dinner at Sandra's house. Her son Matthew is a bit older then you, but it did not matter as you had a ball with him. They have a fun slide that you just loved and then you guys played super hero together. It was funny seeing you with a cape, now I need to get one (hahaha).
We finished off Sunday with a great gathering for breakfast, we had Samantha and Woody with there family, it was great seeing the twins (Max and Vanh) then we had Cynthia and Andre and there wonderful family (Audrey and Daniel) and Francesca and her new addition Matteo who just turned one and is cute like a button, and the best part is that your best friend was there! Katerine, we all drove up together, all 4 of us.
We stayed at a really nice hotel, Extended stay. It was so big that you and Katerine had so much room to play! The best part, we got to sleep together ;o) First you wanted to sleep with Katerine, and then you got a bit nervous and wanted to sleep with me. Mind you Katerine was nervous too.
On the drive home, you slept the whole time as we did so much and had so much fun. You even slept in on Monday, till 6:20, which is not your normal time, you normally wake up at 5:15 - 5:30am - yup - everyday lol
I just love you!

We had a great week as we all went on vacation!
We stayed at Attitash Mountain resort that has an outdoor and indoor pool, a game room, 3 parks and even a shuffle board! So when we arrived, we all went for a nice swim in the pool!
The next day, was so much fun as we went for a nice train ride in North Conway. You were so amazed, you kept looking around and once the train started to move, you yelled out; All aboard! It was so much fun to see your reaction. Once the train ride was finished, we headed back to the hotel for more pool time and shuffle board as you just loved playing with those big mallets. I believe they were 3 times your size, but it did not bother you a bit, you kept pushing those disks on the ground! ;o)
The fallowing day was for me the best as I always wanted to bring you to New Hampshire to Storyland, it is a great amusement park made for kids from the age of 15 and less, so you were able to go on all the rides! It was so much fun, you went on a pirate ship, you saw a circus, we even saw a show with a scarecrow, which you were a bit nervous about - hahaha - you drove a car went on a train ride, and you even discovered bouncy balls that you were in heaven just jumping into them. You did so much that day, we got there at 9:00am and left at 3:30 as we were all tired at that point, but it was such a great day! Now I cannot wait to go back next year with you as I have a feeling and I hope that this will be an every year event!
When we got back home, I have to say that you looked happy to have found your toys, your bed and your surrounding. Then off to the pool we went!
Now I am looking forward of going to the beach with you in August, another great adventure to look forward too!
I just love doing things with you!
