Weekend away

This past weekend, we were invited to go to our friend Jacinthe's surprise birthday supper. Most of her family is in Quebec and Montreal. Since Jacinthe and the kids were going to be in Montreal for a hockey tournament, Pascal decided to organize a supper there. This way, more people could come! We figured we may as well sleep at the hotel so we wouldn't have to be on the road at night. We always love going to hotels!

Maelie and I left at the crack of dawn on Saturday. We drove right into the sunrise! We went shopping in Pointe Claire and checked in to our hotel room early in hopes of going for a swim! It turned out so did a ton of people ! The pool was packed!

We met up with everyone at a nice italian restaurant. I put Maelie in charge of taking pictures... and since she said she knew how to use it, it didn't dawn on me to tell her to put the flash on! So all the pics are blurry and yellowish. Here is one pic that wasn't blurry! Myriam eating her pizza.


And of course... if you read the post on Jacinthe's wedding in October, you will have seen the pepper. Well apparently, the pepper was looking for its partner, and we found it. Maelie of course took a picture of the salt shaker!


After the supper, we headed back to the hotel. The pool was still packed so we went to bed! The next day though, Maelie was able to treat herself to a fun time!


It was quite a decent sized pool!


I love her eyes as the sun is shining on her face. She is so adorable and precious :)


She went down the slide a whole bunch of times until she was worn out!


After the pool, we stopped by another mall and she picked up some shirts on sale at her new favorite store Aeropostale ! She got really lucky and got some shirts for under 3$! After that exciting outing... home sweet home and back to real life!

Once home, we went out for a late lunch with Bill to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary (Jan 28th). I can't believe it's been that long!! I really enjoy my life. I enjoy who I am now, and who I am surrounding myself with. I am truly blessed!!

Happy 12th wedding anniversary! How has this been so long? I remember when you first met him ;)

That slide looks amazing! Did you go down? I find that the older i get, the more chickensh*t i become! I don't go down the ones at the campground anymore.

Hope that foot heals completely for next season's bowling !
