Cirque du Audette

It is so fun when little friends turn one.  And this will be happening one week after the other in this neighborhood. Our weekends for the next couple months seem to be chalk-a-block full of them!

Here are a few photos from our neighbors' party for their one year old little girl, Audette.  Unfortunately, they are actually moving.  Very sad for us since we feel like we've just met them, but such is life, especially when you are just outside of Washington.

The party was vibrant and had a bright "Cirque du Audette" theme complete with clown (mama), circus master (dad) and real LIVE pony circling the backyard of the complex!  There were a TON of people to cheer on Audette as if she were the in the ring while she stared at her little cake before slowly pulling it apart with her glowing, proud parents egging her on. 

 

We will miss this beautiful family in our neighborhood.  Thank you for making us feeling so welcome here.

Four Generations


At the Marche in Toronto

On our visit to Toronto, we hit up the Marche downtown Toronto off of Bay St. for lunch.  This is such a neat experience and a must-stop place if you go to Toronto.  It is a huge indoor market place set-up where you can select a wide-variety of freshly cooked food right from the vendors.  You pick up a card and then walk through and put it all on the card and then you give them the card the end to pay when you leave.  It's bright, vibrant, good food and a fun experience.
