A day for Sydney & Mommy

Today was Jason's trial at Jo's, so Sydney & I got to spend a day alone. We made the most of it. We went to Bronte Provincial Park & saw some animals, played in the play barn, & went swimming. We had a great time, but man was it ever hot. On the way home Sydney crashed in the van & then continued to sleep when we got inside. I think the heat as much as the activity can be accredited to this phenomenon. It is very unlike Sydney to voluntarily lie on the couch & sleep.

It was the first time we have spent this much time just the two of us & I think it was great for both of us. After Sydney woke we went to pick up Jason, but since he was still sleeping we went for ice cream. When Brad heard all that we did he asked if I was feeling a little guilty about going back to work. My response to that is "no", this is what summer holidays are for- to do things that you can't do every day of the year.

Here are some pictures from our day.

Peacocks weren't trying to impress anyone today.

I realize it is just a bunny, but when Sydney saw it she asked why the bunny was so sad. I explained to her that he's not sad, he just has floppy ears. I don't think she believed me.

Had fun on the tire swing one minute & then crying five minutes later. A bigger kid was on the swing & Sydney ran right into the swing.

Wanted to play on the tractor until she realized how hot it was.

We cooled off in the huge pool before heading home.

Juice & cherries for snack before heading home.
Took about 3 minutes of driving before she crashed.

And continued to crash at home.
Few things melt my heart like watching them sleep.
