Fantasy Fair with Dex and family!

It was a busy day today. We met up with Ron's family for lunch at Imperial Buffet to celebrate Ron's mom's 75th Birthday! They had just gotten back from a Mediterranean cruise so had lots to tell us.

We then met up with Dex and family at Fantasy Fair. This is only the second time I've been here actually, and today was even more packed! The kids had fun though, which is what it's all about.

We then all headed out to dinner, where an older woman came up to us and complimented us on how 'well-behaved' our children were. She said in all her years, it was very rare to see and that she wanted to come by to tell us we're doing a great job as parents! haha. (I think she was talking more about Dex's kids actually - not mine!) :P

Ottawa & Montreal!

We went on a mini 4-day vacation this weekend, heading to Ottawa and Montreal.

We had pretty good weather, which is always a factor when going anywhere. Our hotels for both cities were located in a great area - the Westin Ottawa was walking distance to the Rideau Canal, Rideau Centre and the Parliament buildings! 





And in Montreal, we stayed at the W hotel which was right near Old Montreal.

We toured more in Ottawa, which was nice, but because I used to live in Montreal and have done all the touristy sites... we basically just pigged out on all the great food! :)

It's funny because Ron hadn't been to Montreal since I lived there - when we were just dating! So to come now married with a kid (and a half), was a totally different experience for both of us. 

It was a great family trip and I'm glad to be able to show one of my kids where I used to live!

Darth Vader and son

Ron goes to the library quite a bit to pick up books for all of us. Today he came home with a book called Darth Vader and son by Jeffrey Brown. At first I thought it was a book for Jacen, but it's not! I looked through it quickly and thought it was pretty funny actually.... so I thought I'd share some of the pages. For all you Star Wars geeks out there... enjoy!  :)
