Renaissance Fair!

Wow- it has been a long time since I posted!

Daves parents and Mine have both been up for Zekes birthday.

I will blog their visits later.

For now I will blog about the Renaissance Fair that we went to in Huntersville NC.

Dave did a great post on it over Here (you should really check it out- its good)

It was the first time any of us have gone to a Renaissance Fair, ever.

We had a blast!!

There were soo many stages to see shows on. you could spend the whole day there and not see everything~!

The bonus of us going this past Saturday is that it was the Halloween day.
They encouraged kids to dress up and go trick or treating at all the booths!

I did most of it for Zeke- BUT after lunch I let Zeke out of the stroller and let him run into the booths to say Trick or Treat. he would often only get out "TREAT".

He would say "TREAT" to anyone in the booth to get the candy. We did have a little problem of him wanting to open the candy right away- but we told him he had to sit in the stroller to eat his candy- it was much more fun to run to all the booths!

Here is some pictures from the day- Enjoy.

Leo's visit here= the end

Leo has been with us for almost a month. 

We have enjoyed his company. He is a laugh and a half even though he can get into trouble!

Here are a few links from his time with us:

Leo arrived

then we went to Myrtle beach

and he celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving with us

I have a few more pictures from his time with us. They are a bit mixed up but bear with me :)

Thanksgiving with Leo

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It is Canadian thanksgiving this weekend and Leo had to get in on the action.

As Canadians living in the states I couldnt find a turkey yet so we had a chicken. 

 All the food was ready to go- just had to wait on 5pm to start cooking for dinner

back pot for stuffing, carrots, cream corn, squash, potatoes, gravy.

Helping mash the squash

Pastor Rob, Ginger were slightly distracted by Leo

it was a great dinner with great people!

Leo's vacation to Myrtle Beach

When Leo arrived at our door he was a bit tired from all the traveling he was doing. 

He sounded very happy that we were going to take a vacation to Myrtle Beach. 

Our bags were packed and look who wanted to come along for the ride!

AS soon as we got there the little monkey choose the top bunk! 

Yay!!! we are at the beach!

Got to go eat at the all you can eat sea food buffets!

hanging out on the beach

luckily he doesnt burn!

nice and close to the water (but not too close!)

there- that feels safer!!

Dave and I then headed out for the night and thought it would be nice if Leo came along to Broadway at the Beach.

First thing he does is run off and get himself in trouble!!

we promised the dinosaur some sweets if he let go of Leo. Thankfully he agreed!

The bag of sugar was NOT for Leo!!

we saw this bird :)

and some Celebrities!

not sure were Alvin was though. 

We fed the fish! someone tossed in a bag of pink popcorn.

taking a break

I go off the bathroom and come back to find leo munching on my pretzel!

The morning we left it dawned nice and clear

Taking a rest stop while Daddy was geocaching

Thanks for coming along on the ride!!

Leo Arrived!

Guess who was on my door step nice and fresh from his trip from NY with Patty?

Its LEO!!


If you want to read more about Leo's trips so far go check out Deb's blog at McCormik Maddness

I was pleased to see Leo came with an air freshener (being in a box can make you a bit stinky!)

He also came with a supply of candy that he didnt eat on the way here.
I may have to snag one or two for me my son.

We are looking forward to our adventures with Leo over the next couple weeks.

He may even get to celebrate Zeke's second birthday if he behaves decides to stick around a bit longer.
