On Saturday a convoy headed out from Montreal to Bromont. One stop at Tim Horton's later Ashley, Patricia, Dorothy, Marc, myself, Clara and Leo arrived with 59 Timbits for Papa T's birthday celebration. We celebrated by putting him to work - picking strawberries!
The rules according to Rachel were simple; if the strawberry was too big, too small, to weird, to boring or too red it had to be EATEN! Clara eagerly followed the rules. The rest of us went ahead and picked 6 boxes of delicious berries with the exception of Leo, who napped in the stroller while Auntie Dorothy pushed him up and down the dirt road beside the strawberry patch.

Papa T's birthday desert was delicious, strawberry shortcake and chocolate ice cream.

On Sunday we went to visit Grandmaman and Fred for the afternoon. We all went swimming is their beautiful pool, Clara had a great time floating around in the high tech air mattress but she really had fun jumping in the pool and going underwater holding onto Papa's hands! She was pretty much fearless and had no problem holding her breath until her head popped back out of the water. I was and am amazed. Leo was dunked under water several times by Papa (yes, on purpose) and he loved it as well. I guess my babies are part fish?!? Of course, Leo's absolute favorite part about swimming was all the water he was able to suck off his hands :)

We did some practice face painting in preparation for Clara's birthday party and Clara had a mini birthday cake all to herself.
