August long weekend

We've been having non-stop fun this long weekend!

Friday:

I went to work (Bobby worked from home)... I bought us tickets to "Guardians of the Galaxy". Unfortunately, the 7:30 show was pretty full (we wanted the Ultra AVX experience of course!), so we had to get tickets to the 10:45 show. I got home around 4:45, and we went for dinner at 5:30 because we were both starving (we went to Sushi Oyama, which is kind of like a Sushi Holic knock off). Then we went shopping/got coffee to wake us up before the movie. The movie was pretty good - Chris Pratt is so funny!!

Saturday:

Brad texted us and asked if we wanted to meet at Rocky Point park (uhh... yes please!). So we hit up Caffe Divano for caffeine and food, met them at the park and ate and played with Luca (new game - roll a small ball over Uncle Bobby while he is laying down!! that entertained Luca for at least 30 minutes!). After we had enough sun/heat, we hit up Yellow Dog brewery just across the street for some adult beverages. Pretty good new brewery - Bobby is excited to know they do growler refills!

Later in the night, we hit up Lawrence and Najin's bbq. More food!!! I was so full from eating the entire day, all I ate was corn, a grilled zucchini, and dessert. Anyway, so this was the last bbq at their current place because they will be moving soon.

Sunday:

Bobby and I went to downtown to view Hotel Georgia as a potential wedding venue. The venue is pretty nice, I need to work out some numbers with the Catering Sales Manager though (she was supposed to be the one showing us around, but then she got stuck in Pride Parade traffic, so someone else showed us around).

We were going to meet up with Brad-Ja-Luca for dinner (saw them twice this weekend already! How did we get so lucky?). We were going to eat wings (my favorite!!) at their house... so we bought dessert ;) I bought 6 different donuts for sampling at Lucky's donuts (I got glazed, peanut butter and jelly, french crueller, apple maple bacon, blackberry and coconut). ALL SOO GOOD.

Seriously, we made a pretty decent sized dent into the donuts!

Luca was pretty hyper after the donuts... sugar rush really exists!!

After he went to sleep, we watched Transcendence - good movie concept, weirdly played out!!

Got home early last night and Kiwi was running in her wheel. Whenever we interrupt her running on her wheel, she jumps off and hides. You can totally tell because her wheel will still be spinning (since Bobby pimped her wheel out)... and because Kiwi is a TERRIBLE hider. She thinks that as long as she can't see anything, you must also not be able to see her.. Except her bulbous butt will always be sticking out ;)

Side note - Kiwi is actually losing weight because the tutu I made her two years ago is too loose for her now. I guess that now that she can use the wheel whenever she wants (no more sharing with Mama!) she runs more often...

Has anyone seen Kiwi?

Now it's Sunday morning. We need to do grown up things (like grocery shopping), but still want to be able to enjoy outside. Having dinner with my family tonight... and already dreading going to work tomorrow...

Hope everyone had a fun and safe August long weekend! The countdown to Labour day is on now ;)
