Toronto Trip

Last weekend we drove to Toronto for a surprise birthday party for one of our friends, Creston! It was a pretty nice drive, the roads are so much less bumpy as soon as you cross the province line into Ontario, and I was able to get some school work done. Arabella was great on the car ride and we didn't get in too late which was nice. Jay being silly! Look at the beautiful Toronto highways! We stayed with one of Jay's co-workers and his family since the birthday party for Creston was a surprise. Anthony, Angie and all 3 boys were so nice to let us stay with them. Arabella had fun playing with the "boys" as she called them and they were so tolerant of her! Saturday we were going to try and go explore a little bit of Toronto but it was raining terribly so we decided to grab some lunch and then a movie. We saw Hop - a cute new movie about the Easter Bunny. Arabella and 2 out of the 3 boys enjoyed it, so much so, they they fell asleep on the ride home!

Saturday night, we left Arabella and the boys with a baby sitter and headed out to Szwchuan Szwchaun for the party. Creston was so surprised when he walked in - he had no idea! We had a good food and a great time and it was nice to meet more of Jay's co-worker's. Happy 40th Birthday Creston - we are so happy we could celebrate with you! Surprise!! Jay and Creston - they started at CAT on the same day - 12 years ago! Silly boys!


On the way home, we had to stop at the ATM to get money for the sitter...and since I was in the back seat with windows that only went halfway down, Jay thought it would be funny to take a picture of me in the precarious position!

On Sunday morning, we woke up to snow, yes, snow - not a lot, but enough to remind us that it is only April and we do live in Canada so we can't rule it out!

After packing up, we headed over to the Austin's for brunch. Brunch was delicious and it was nice to spend time with Amy, Creston, Creston the 3rd and Ava. Jay and Creston had fun playing with the kids and Amy and I ran out to do a little bit of shopping! We all had a fun afternoon and before we knew it, it was time to head back home.
