Toronto III

Once again, thanks to my birthday falling near or on Memorial Day weekend, I found myself in Toronto, Ontario Canada for my annual visit- my third- with my Great Grandma, Aina. If I keep up this pace, Canada may need to make me an honorary citizen. Free health care!
Gigi, Papa, Dad and I flew the wonderful Porter Airlines, which flies right into the downtown islands. We stayed at our usual spot, the Novotel Toronto Centre, which is just a block away from Aina's pad and the amazing St. Lawrence Market. We spent the weekend visiting, swimming, celebrating my birthday and walking the now familiar streets of Toronto. However, my favorite part was our Sunday visit to Centreville, an amusement park on Toronto's Centre Island. Dad and I got to ride the Log Ride, the Dragon Coaster, Centreville Train and Ferris Wheel. Plus I went on the cars and boat all by myself.
On the way home I was told that we'd be going back to Toronto in September for Aina's 90th birthday. My cousins and Aunt Lori and Uncle Dave will be along too. Can't wait.

I'm Three

Due to my annual birthday-weekend trip to Toronto (post coming soon), Mom and Dad had to throw my third birthday party a week prior to May 25, but lucky for me- and thanks to Dad- my favorite man from the sun, Gustafer Yellowgold, happened to be in town. He played an awesome 45 minute set at Schubas.
After the concert, a ton of my friends and their parents, plus my family, headed upstairs for snacks, drinks, sweets, presents and ice cream cake, which Dad and Mom got for me at Baskin Robbins.
It was the best three-year-old bash ever.

Aspiring Musician

Whenever I visit Dad at Schubas I always try to walk on stage and sing some songs. I like to practice these tunes at home using the too-large-guitar my Uncle Dave got me for Christmas. Have a look.

Dinosaurs Alive!

Wow!
Last Sunday, I had the best time ever at my favorite zoo, The Brookfield Zoo, where they have an awesome new exhibit called Dinosaurs Alive! There is good reason for that !. The dinosaurs are life size and look so real. The sound, eh, not so much, but who cares? I got to run amongst dinosaurs without fear of being eaten and got to dig for their fossilized bones. So cool. On the way to the carousel we saw one last dinosaur, the Ruyang Yellow River dino, which is the largest ever discovered. Daddy, Uncle Dave, Gigi & Papa and I took a carousel ride, then headed to my favorite permanent exhibit, the Swamp. I danced to the Cajun music and said hello to the alligator, one of the only animals left on earth, who can be traced back to the dinosaurs.
