Happy Birthday Olivia!
4 years old today. The celebration has spanned the last few days but today is the actual day.
Sunday we spent the day with Sam, Grace, Joey and Angel at African Lion Safari. That was a blast. Your favourite was the splash park. But the trip around the reserve in the tour bus was fun too. You insisted on sitting with Angel at the back of the bus. You got to see monkeys rip trim off of cars, giraffes eating, baby lion cubs, rhinos and more. The Birds of Prey show was exciting too. The horn-rimmed owl was your favourite. Christien was a big fan of the Safari as well. I guess we’ll be going there quite often over the next few summers.
Afterwards, back home for a BBQ and birthday cake with even more guests: Nicole, Perry, Nick and Alex. You ‘raked’ in some nice gifts:
– pretend Bride outfits including invitations from Joey and Angel. Daddy will practice going down the aisle with you
– Whack-a-mole and a splash game (Nicole et al)
– beautiful kid-sized upholstered lounge chair for the basement playroom from Grandma and Nonno
– Scooter and treasure chest full of goodies from Mommy and Daddy. The monkey helmet is your favourite. Don’t every grow up kid!
– Easel from Nanna
– Gift certificat parlayed into a Barbie Jeep from Uncle Luc.
Today it’s fun at the Lion’s Lagoon or the KidZone if it’s too cold. And then dinner at the Boston Pizza for your Bugs’n’Cheese.
