Week 46 - May Long Weekend

It's hard to beleive but there are only 6 weeks left of Owen's 1st year. Thinking back to last year on Victoria Day weekend I was very pregnant at this point and counting down to my last few weeks of work.  Now I am trying to cherish my last few weeks of mat leave and quality time with Owen. Here is a picture of me last year on Victoria day weekend at 34 weeks pregnant and here is a video I took that weekend of Owen moving in my belly:




This year for Victoria day we had a great weekend with lots of good new memories.  Owen, Daddy and I wet to the Drive In movies. We did this last summer when Owen was 6 weeks old, but this time it was much different as Owen got to play at the playground including going on the swings and in a bouncy castle for the first time.  He also loved the old school music they played before the movie and had lots of fun dancing and laughing along to it. He also enjoyed some of his baby crackers while we had some junk food.  He sat inbetween us for the first 20 minutes or so of the movie, but then fell asleep. It was a nice family night.

On the swings. He loved watching all the other kids.


He loved this slide!


On Sunday of the long weekend Owen and I took a trip to the Butterfly conservatory with Jen.
Butterfly's remind us of Owen's dear friend in heaven, Jen's daughter Angel, so it was very nice and peaceful and beautiful to visit this place.  Despite how hot and humid it was inside the conservatory on a very hot day, we had a nice afternoon and saw lots of pretty butterflies, turtles, birds and fish. Owen liked the waterfall alot too. 






When we got home on Sunday we went to a BBQ at our neighbors who live across the street from us. Here is a pic of Owen having fun with his neighborhood friends Julia and Ella in their backyard. Julia is 6 and Ella is 3 - Owen is only 10 months old. He really isn't that much smaller than either of them, actually Ella and Owen wear the same size diapers!


Ella and Julia have a bouncy castle in their backyard. Owen LOVED it! We are thinking of getting one for him for his 1st birthday.


They also have a hot tub which he also loved and ended up in it shortly after this picture was taken.
