Canada Day
We decided that this year we would actually do something for Canada Day. A good friend of mine told me about the Garden Party hosted by the Lieutenant Governor at Government House. There was lemonade, cotton candy, popcorn, the RCMP, Suzanne (a dog who was a gift to the RCMP from the Queen), bubbles, parachute games, and a band. We managed to miss all the speeches, but given the blistering heat outside, I am not sure that it was a bad thing. The kids had a great time running around and just being with all those people.
Butterfly face
At the end of June our errands found us at Old Navy. Somehow we timed our shopping with the grand reopening of the store --they had redecorated and rebranded, so they needed to celebrate. Well, among other things they were doing face painting. Sophia was all into that...
She's got the posing down to an art. Anyway, for the next week, Sophia kept asking to go back to Old Navy so she could get her face painted again. It took a bit of convincing that the face painting wasn't an everyday occurrence. She sure did look cute!

Tea for two
Nana and Papa gave Sophia a cute little tea set for her birthday. She's spent a lot of time having tea and serving lattes (yes, lattes) to everyone and anyone. Not to be forgotten, Jacob has gotten in on the action and joined Sophia at her tea table.
She's 4!
Well, Sophia celebrated her fourth birthday last week! It's hard to believe that four whole years have gone by so very, very fast. We had a wonderful time.
Sophia and a few of her friends (Owen, William, Claire and Dylan) joined her for a party at Amazing Adventures, which is a gymnastics place. The kids had an hour on the floor to do circuits, jump on the trampolines and play in the foam pit all with a coach. After expending all their
energy, we had cake and juice, and gift opening. Everyone had a great time. Sophia had chosen a "Under the Water" theme...so her cake was Ariel from the Little Mermaid, and all the goodie bags had a water/fish theme. She had a great time!
This is Jacob on the trampoline for the first time! I have a feeling that he's going to LOVE gymnastics in the fall.
This is always the most fun...the foam pit. Sophia is being thrown around, and if you look closely you can just make out Jacob's feet....he's hanging over the edge into the pit.
To make the time even more special, Nana and Papa were here from Maple Ridge (yup, they only moved three weeks ago!). We've been enjoying being with them.
Turning four also meant the not so fun experience of getting her immunizations. While there, she got weighed and measured...
WEIGHT: 42 pounds
HEIGHT: 42 inches.
Nice and easy to remember. Although I was dumbfounded when they told me she was 42 pounds! I was still thinking she was 30 pounds. Oops.
