Weeks ago I showed Alex how to blow on a dandilion and make a wish. So today, while waiting in the yard with me for Joe, he picked one... blew on it and as the seeds flew around said "I wish I could fly a kite".... it was adorable.
After everyone's naps (about 11:00), we coated the kids in sunscreen, packed the family into bike trailers and left Dan's house. We stopped at the top of the street to figure out a destination.
First Dominion: no kite.
Next Zellers : Finding Nemo Kite - $5
We scooted down to Bowring Park and camped out on the hill behind the swimming pool to eat lunch and fly Alex's kite. He learned real quick and soon needed no help from us unless it hit the ground. Samantha chased him (or us) and Sarah ate. You should have seen the size of a chicken breast she decided she to eat!
We played until everyone started to look sleepy then packed them all back into the trailers and followed the old railway bed to downtown. After a drive by the waterfront and a quick jump into the bike stores, we follow the railway bed back to bowring park and up to McDonalds! By the time we finally got back to Dan's, it was 7:00pm. I wish I had some photos of this perfect day, but I forgot the camera :( You'll have to settle for this one that Natasha took of Alex with paint on his fingers.
I got the idea of using the bike trailer to take all 3 out for walks from Lisa. Usually if Alex gets tired he climbs in with the girls but with Jeanita there he wanted her to carry him and when those little arms go up and those big blue eyes look at you, he is hard to turn down!
Joe took Alex to Bowring Park for a little while to feed the ducks. He went on the bridge by the nursery for the first time and got a real kick out of it. He got a picture in front of the old horses fountain too! You can see pictures of him under the tag "Bowring Park". The first person to take him to feed the ducks was Bomma (Grandmother) Kathy. Since then he's been back a bunch of times with various family members :)
