The last of our visitors

We had a great visit with Joe, Kathy and Hudson. Lilo and Hudson had a fun time playing together - very cute to see. Hudson was a little timid at first but came out of his shell by the end of the trip and was chasing Lilo around.
They got here on Wednesday afternoon so we spent it in the backyard.
On Thursday we went to the park in our neighborhood and big naps for all of us.
Then we went to the zoo on Friday which was a lot of fun. We saw a lot of neat animals and the kids loved it. Then we came home for naptime and Kathy and I ran out to do some shopping - Ikea and H&M since they don’t have these stores in Winnipeg. We got a few neat sand toys for the kids and a few things for their rooms at Ikea.
Then that evening other friends came over with their 2 year old and we had a BBQ. It was cute to see the 3 of them dancing and jumping in the back yard. On Saturday we went to the Distillery district to check out a festival they were having. It’s an old distillery that they have transformed into galleries, restaurants and shops in the original buildings. It’s really neat to walk along the old brick roads and look around. This weekend they also had a stage with bands and taste of Toronto food, where they had small dishes from some of Toronto’s best restaurants. So we stopped there for lunch and had a great sampling of food, a Bison burger, crab falafel, spicy chicken Panini and a few others – all very tasty.
Then we came home for a nap and then off to the park again. This time it was warmer so I let Lilo run through the fountain. She had a blast and got very wet. Hudson was so cute – wanting to run around but not wanting to get wet, so he ran on the sides and laughed at Lilo, saying, “Lilo all wet”
Since the afternoon naps were too short the evening was short for the kids too. The rest of us had a mellow night of pizza and tv since it was an early morning today for them.
And Isla was around too – she was sleeping a lot and very chill, such a good baby.
We had a great visit – it was lots of fun to see the 2 cousins playing together and we hope we can have them see each more often.
