Father's Day

We had a great day yesterday celebrating fatherhood!

Morning was spent catching up with mom and dad via skype...

Had lunch at Santa Lu-chi-ya

drive around... had ice cream at

the kid had strawberry sundae with gummy bears and sprinkles... the hot fudge was so good!!!

and then went to Church after

About 35 km and a some 30 minutes drive from the church is Bird's Hill Provincial Park and since the day is still long we surprised the kid by bringing him there.

Good thing there's always a bag of extra clothes (for swimming & gym time) in the car for impromptu activities like this.

this is at past eight in the evening and the sun is still up...

the sign... making sure no stupid Winnipeger dives head first on these shallow waters

mom, is that my future self??? lol

Aside from swimming, there are also a lot of things to do here like beach volleyball, play ground, trails, bicycle and inline skating paths, etc.

Best of all... it's FREE!!!

patrols and life guards are visible and kept the grounds clean and orderly. Park closes at 11pm but because this wasn't planned, all we have was a bottle of water with us. The kid was hungry already so it's time to go home.

And for dinner??? Drive Thru @ McDonalds!

Seven

The kid's 7th Birthday was celebrated in the most simple way. I have schedule that weekend and my request for time off which was originally granted was recalled and was told to work due to the Mother's Day celebration.

So on the morning of his big day, we just had brunch at Perkin's

then we brought him to toys"R"us to buy him a gift of his choice before dropping me off to work.

The next day after work and attending mass, we surprised him with his Birthday Cake!

My off didn't came until the middle of the week. I excused him from school that day and we went swimming at the local recreation complex. Mom took a day off as well.

Simple, yet he was so happy!!!

He can't get over it...

Happy Birthday my baby boy!!! We love you so much!
