Julia and Emily's World

Julia started JK today! Mommy went with Julia for her first day. Julia is still at the same school at my work but she is now in a new room with new teachers. The best part is that now when I join her for lunch I don't have to sit in little mini chairs around a mini table.

Happy Birthday Mya! 5 years old. Wow! Yesterday went to Mya's birthday party. The weather was kind for once. Everyone had a great time. Uncle Bob's jumping castle was a huge hit again!

On Sunday, Auntie Linda invited Sheryl and Julia to Kitchener for a visit and took them to the Waterloo Children's Museum. It sounds like they had a great visit! Here is a few pictures. Sheryl didn't know how to use the flash so these are the only ones that turned out.

On Saturday we went to Centre Island with Uncle Gary, Aunt Jackie, Selena, Mya and Jacob. The weather was perfect. Unfortunately it seemed like everyone else had the same idea. It was very crowded by lunch time. It was still a great day and the kids were able to ride everything they wanted. Julia even went on the log ride and the kiddie coaster.

Sheryl and I went to Niagara Falls for a night. The weather was great. We went up the new ferris wheel at night time. It was disappointing. We couldn't see too much. The falls were lit up but not enough to see a lot of detail. Plus the spot lights focused on the ferris wheel caused a lot of glare. It is probably a much better view in the day. The casino was fun even though we lost.

Update on the bird in the flower basket. Both eggs hatched and the little baby birds quickly grew into big birds. It was amazing to see how fast they grew. Just today they flew away. Oh and we finally saw what has been digging around in our garden. These shots are of him wandering around in the backyard neighbour's yard. This was actually one of a family of 3 that we saw one morning.

On Saturday we went to Storybook Gardens in London. We met up with Selena, Mya, and Jacob. The weather cooperated for once this year! Not too hot and sunny most of the day. Here are some pictures of the day.
