This weekend really felt like summer. Not so much because the weather was warm and the days beautiful, as it was that I definitively felt the shift from running non-stop to slow and easy days. I think Sydney felt it too, there was no rush about anything. We stopped and enjoyed moments, smelled a few flowers and browsed in a few shops. It felt nice, this slower pace. We are so ready for the lazy days of summer and I think we are really going to enjoy it!
We even took a few moments this morning to make a little craft that we saw months ago and kept talking about doing, a tree with tissue paper flowers. So pretty!
On Saturday we had the pleasure of celebrating Sydney's friend Jack's 3rd birthday party. Jack turned three way back in January but his Mom really wanted to throw him a summer party so we waited six long months to celebrate together. We met at the Dunbar park so the kids could play together for an hour before heading back to Jack's house for a backyard family barbecue.
Syd even tried the zip line at the park on her own for the first time! She loved it!
What fun we had basking in the brief window of sun and enjoying each other's company while celebrating Jack and how grateful we are to have his family in our life.
Loved his Spiderman cake!
Paul, Sydney and I ended up staying later than almost all the guests, snuggled up on Christina's patio drinking wine. It was perfection. Even though it was quite late when we left, Syd insisted on walking home, so she and I walked home hand in hand stopping to look at the neighbor's gardens along the way.
Early this afternoon I met up with my friends Andrea, Saskia and Tracy for brunch at The Flying Pig in Yaletown.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch and visit together sharing stories about our kids and lives and making plans for fun getaways together.
When I got home I took Syd down to Broadway for their annual Greek Day street festival. We had so much fun wandering through the throngs of people checking out the goodies for sale and yummy food and watching the dancers and performers.
Syd loved it as we took our time to take it all in and explore some new sights.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
