Once again we celebrated Canada Day with our friends and old neighbours at the annual Rosedale Street Party. If you remember this is the day when Rosedale Ave. gets closed down for about 50+ kids and their families to play on trampolines, in bouncy castles, on fire trucks and in a little street hockey game. Everyone pitches in for some good eats and then there is the bike parade, chalked full of decorated bikes and wagons complete with some very happy, smiling kids. The day is capped off with some awesome fireworks!

It’s always a blast and I hope you enjoy the photos and the video below.

Cheers!

Every year, Dana’s Mom’s side of the family gets together for a BBQ in the summer and a Christmas party in the winter. This year was Oliver’s first Family Picnic. He got to meet some of his Aunts, Uncles and Cousins for the first time. It was a blast. We were lucky as we got a freak storm but it didn’t blow in until everyone was leaving.

This years Lacelle Family Picnic was at Bruce’s Mill Conservation Area which has some wonderful picnic(ing) areas. We even rented out the pool for a couple of hours, which allowed us to get Oliver’s feet wet (sort of speak) for the first time.

It was a wonderful day had by all. And as always, there are some images below and the complete set can be found on my Flickr site here.

Cheers!

Canada Day! Celebrations happen across the country. They usually start with some sort of gathering, continuing with a BBQ and then some dessert, and they end with fireworks…they almost always end with fireworks! This year was no exception.

If I haven’t told you before, I’m telling you now: we have a wonderful group of neighbours! They are a very tight-knit, community-oriented and most certainly, kid friendly bunch. And this year, a bunch of neighbours decided to get together, close off our street, and have a block party. This consisted of a bunch of events for the kids during the day, a sweet potluck BBQ dinner, and…you guessed it, fireworks.

Even though Oliver was a little too young this year to understand what was happening, we all still had a great time. I took a couple of pictures of Oliver during the afternoon. They are posted below.

Isn’t he the HAPPIEST baby in the world?

Cheers!
