Yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of the birthday of my dear nephew Aaron! Although he is now 2, he insisted and with great consistency that he was "fhree" (hard to exactly spell that in 2 year old speak!). And he would giggle if you even suggested something different. And to be honest, it does feel as if he has been a part of our family for a lot longer than that! Dear little boy with his red curls that turn heads wherever he goes, his little grin, his big hugs and his great sense of humor! He is a lot of fun to be around and makes me smile an awful lot! We spent yesterday morning with Rachel and her boys and some friends from church at an indoor play place in St Catharines called Cheeky Monkeys - the kids had a blast climbing all over everything and racing down slides and up ladders... even Aunt Lauren and I got in there and did some sliding down the scary black hole slide and nearly getting stuck in spaces meant for 2 and 3 year olds... not 23 and 33 year olds... hey, no one kicked us off so we had fun!

| I only got a few shots inside since my silly little camera intermittently decides to work and not work - maybe time for a new one but i'm too cheap - i'll wait til it dies altogether. You get the idea of the size of the place though and the fun stuff that was there!!! |
 |
| Aaron looks a little eerie here... that's what i get for no flash and kids moving... but i thought i'd better post a pic of the birthday boy having fun! He loved the slide! |
|
And in the afternoon, Oma and Opa came over and we trooped out to the good old favourite Mussche stomping grounds of Swiss Chalet... i think we might have given the new waitress a bit of a run for her money since after dinner the natives were getting restless and the antics started... blowing straw papers all over the place, drinking from four straws stuck together, feeding 6 month old babies icecream (not that he minded - it certainly seemed to be better received than green beans!!!)
 |
| Please Mum,can i have some...more??? |
 |
| This is serious business, eating icecream... |
 |
| "I have one more point to add to my birthday list... just listen up, while i try to ignore my Dad who is looking pretty funny behind me!" |
 |
| Oma is teaching Peter important life skills, started off with straw wrapper blowing, then progressed to drinking out of multiple straws - we sure seemed to be getting our fair share of interested looks from the surrounding patrons! |

oh birthdays. I wonder if they are as much for the adults , as for the children. And yes straw blowing and making bubbles from a long distance could come in very handy further down the line. just saying. Mom
And much fun was had! And we weren't even kicked out by the manager :D
Yes, birthdays are fun - now just a nice excuse to get together and have a good time :)
p.s. check out my blog for a photo that's weirdly similar to the one you took of Aaron holding his finger up - except that mine was taken a year ago!!
oh fun. :) I love the pics, Danielle! Happy Birthday to our sweet Aaron!
I laughed out loud at the picture of Aaron with his funny looking dad behind him. haha! good shot!
I had to chuckle at some of this pictures!
What is Mike DOING in that shot with Aaron?
And I love that Mom taught him that - I bet he was giggling about it!
