A Touch of Spring

While it is raining pretty hard right now, we just had the most beautiful weekend. It was a balmy 50 degrees and the streets and parks were overflowing with people. On Saturday, we all went out to run some errands and to find a good library. Toronto has libraries all over the place (mini Canada fact: it's the largest public library system in Canada with 99 branches), but the one closest to our place is undergoing repairs so we have to find another. The branch second-closest to us has pretty slim pickings and is pretty small. So, he hopped in the car and drove a short while to the S. Walter Stewart Branch, which has an awesome selection and a huge Children's Floor that allows Baby Boy to wander around without bothering any adults. I guess you could say that libraries are pretty important to us. As I was saying, it was a beautiful weekend and so on Sunday we decided to take advantage of the weather and go to the public park that is near our place. So, since I know what my readers want, here it is! PICTURES OF BABY BOY! Baby Boy and I walking. He doesn't have to hold my hand, I'm just trying to turn him around and steer him towards the playground equipment. Here is Baby Boy getting very excited to see the playground equipment and all the other kids. Yay! Swinging! There are a lot more pictures, but Devoted Husband has to tidy them up a little. We also took some videotape, which we don't do nearly enough. Anyway, we had a lot of fun and after swinging and sliding and running around and falling down, we went back home. A CANADIAN FACT! According to the CBC, Canadians eat more doughnuts per capita than any other country and more than three times as many as Americans.
