shump

"Shump" - pronounced jump by all but Kate - was probably the word of the trip as we spent most of our visit to Toronto this past week in the pool. We had a pretty wonderful visit with Cody's Dad and Janice: the weather was great; the pool grand; the animal safari super fun; loads of hugs and lots of yummy eats. Last night on the plane back home Cody asked Kate, "What was your favorite part about your trip to Grampie's?" Her reply, "Grammie." Sorry Grampie but it was too precious not to share.

A few photo highlights:

Pappa and E taking in the crazy cannonball obsessed kids.

Janice and Lydia.

Aunty smiling and sunning.

 The Elephant walk.

 Train time.

Mamma and E in the splash park moments before a kid pooped and the whole place had to be cleared and cleaned.

 Our fierce tigers and our delicate flower.

The main event - Father's Day with the three Pauls. Happy belated Fathers Day to all the wonderful Dads in my life but most especially to my Dad and my Cody.

Snuggle time for the girls and Grampie. Kate fell asleep in this cozy snuggle spot several times this trip.

All day Kate has been reminding Elliott and me, "I no have a pool at my house." It's a bummer Kate. We'll just have to make sure to head West again very soon.

So from our little foursome - thanks again for the amazing trip full of memories. It's one of my all time new favourite traditions and I have no doubt that it will become one of Kate, Elliott, Carter and Lydia's as well.

All our love,
CAKE
mmmm... speaking of cake I miss having some by this time of the day.
