D was back and is gone again. I think he is in Chicago..well, somewhere Stateside. This time it is only overnight so it shouldnt upset Sash's routine too much. It has been a busy few days. We celebrated Father's Day with a nice brunch at Homeway, our new fave destination. After the most excellent French toast we took a walk in the cemetery nearby. It was quite obvious that more people visit deceased Mums than Dads. Unlike our Mothers Day walk in the cemetery, we didnt have to watch out for too many cars. When we got home, we opened presents, a nice tie from Sash and running apparel from all of us. D and Sash decided to put together a miniature inflatable balloon and launch it. It worked a little too well..floating all the way into the neighbour's yard. The fun and excitement did help tire both out so Father's day ended with a nice nap.







On Monday, D and I played truant from everyday life and walked to the closest Burger King for lunch. It just so happens that it is located in the cinema so we ate our Whopper meals while watching the new Indiana Jones movie. I rather enjoyed it although I think it may be a bit too simplistic, or should I say, old fashioned for today's audience. Just goes to show that although most movies nowadays rely too much on CGI and what not, they do have more complex story lines and plots. After lunch, we headed to Starbucks for iced chai lattes and lemon tarts. I must say, I love my neighbourhood.

Yesterday, as Sash didn't have daycare, we thought a treat was in order so we took her to the Toronto Zoo. We have lived here for a year and believe it or not, although it is only a 20 minute drive away, yesterday was the first time we took her to the zoo. Boy, did she absolutely love it. As the Toronto Zoo is one the of the largest zoos in the world, we decided to only target a few areas and leave the rest for future visits. So we only hit the Indo-Malaya area, the African Savanna and the Australasian area. To witness the jaw dropping moment when Sash saw her first live elephant feeding was worth the $40 dollar entrance fee. She loved the tigers, zebras, kangaroos, monkeys, gorillas, hippos, rhinos and fish. She especially liked finally meeting the Kookaburra she sings about.







I think next week we will take her to a petting zoo.
