Birthday Extravaganza - Part One

Yesterday Poppa took the day off and we had a really laid back day - so nice! After Evan went to school in the morning, we had a picnic lunch at the lake and a little bit of water play - kinda cold.

For dinner we went to Fins Bistro on Front St. which was a special treat. Pops wanted to go there for Father's Day but we didn't call in early enough. He had the crab fettucine (yum) and I was pleasantly surprised that their miso black cod and yakisoba were sooo good. The kids ate really well and we topped it off with some tasty treats - raspberry sorbet and super rich chocolate cake.

Notice that El does not take her eyes off the cake and ice cream to take a picture.

And with these two little monkeys, of couse we had to have an OMG moment. The water boy came around and Evan said, "Thank you, Jose!" Yes, he was Hispanic, but still... We can't even say it's cause he looked very much like Jose from our favorite Mexican restaurant. So we told Evan next time, don't call him Jose, cause we don't know what his name is. Just say, "thank you" and that's all. When he came back, he was laughing and chatted with Evan - "How did you know my name was Jose? Just cause I'm Mexican?! Well, you're right!" Ha ha! Phew, glad that went over well.
