It's Ribfest Time Again!

The annual Etobicoke Ribfest was here so of course we had to go! We headed out on the first day it opened and enjoyed a scrumptious feast of ribs, ribs and more ribs. Paul tells me we'll definitely have to go back at least one more time to try out a few more vendors and I know he's not kidding! :)

Sandra's 67th Birthday

On Sunday we celebrated Sandra's 67th birthday with the family. Unfortunately Michael couldn't make it again but it didn't stop the kids from having a great time with their grandparents. Happy birthday, Grandma, with lots of love from Philip, Morgan and Sienna! :)

Meet Nathaniel Joseph Ramlogan

Meet Nathaniel Joseph Ramlogan, who was born on June 2, 2011. The end of the school year was so hectic, however, that we didn't get a chance to meet Wendell and Yen Vi's little bundle of joy until he was three weeks old! We headed to their place after Niagara Falls for a nice dinner. He is absolutely adorable and is very easy-going, his mommy tells me. Congrats to the Ramlogans for "completing" their family and a special congrats to Natalie for being a big sister now! :)

Niagara Falls by Day

Our day at Niagara Falls consisted of the Bird Kingdom and the Maid of the Mist. Since we didn't get a chance to see many birds at the San Diego Zoo (other than Cody the parrot at the hotel and the lorikeet feeding), we decided to check out the Niagara Falls version called Bird Kingdom. It turned out to be quite the nice place where a lot of birds were able to roam free. Philip and Paul were able to feed the lorikeets again, it had a reptile part where Philip was able to pet a lizard, and we even witnessed a fruit bat feeding which was cool. Next up was none other than the Maid of the Mist. Philip loved going near the Falls and Paul and I were surprised about how close to the Falls we actually got this time. The ponchos weren't much help as we pretty much got soaked but it was a really fun experience. We had such a great time and we'll definitely have to hit the Falls again (and perhaps the cheesy part of Clifton Hill) the next time I feel the itch to have a quick getaway! :)
