Family Day long weekend

We had lots of fun for Family Day Long weekend. Jeff, Jo-Ann and Anushka came down from Edmonton on saturday and left on monday.

Vik stopped in for a visit saturday evening.
On Sunday, Lair worked and the rest of us headed off for a quick trip to the zoo to see the animatronic Dinosaurs ('Dinosaur's Alive' display) on from now until october. It was pretty cool. 22 new dinos that move and roar. Quinn was quick to point out the Speakers in the bushes. Sigh. So no real 'magic' from the Dinos but he was impressed none the less. Poor Anna was not pleased with the load roaring. Jo-Ann told her they were 'just saying Hello', then Anna kept saying 'No Hello' every time we approached a dino. So cute! We saw a few of the animals then made our way home.
Karen & David and Dwayne & Marcie came over for a visit.

On Family day monday, it was so nice to wake up and hang out with Lawrence in the morning/ all day, quite novel since we don't have any days off together. We thought we would go to Cora's Restaurant for brunch. When we got there, there was a huge line up. Sowe opted to go home and make brunch, so I made French Toast and Lair made Egg's Benedict. It was delicious, cheaper and easier with the kids =)

After brunch we bid farewell to the Marvins and watched the Olympics!

A great long weekend!
