Soccer Star

We started soccer lessons a couple of weeks ago and Logan is crazy about it. We walk into the gym and there are little soccer balls everywhere and he starts running around, throwing and kicking the balls. He's so cute. Today was the first day we tried on the "official" uniform for Soccer Time Kids. It did not go over well at first, I think the material was a bit weird for him. But he got used to it pretty fast and then we were off to another fun lesson. However, today I think I got as much exercise as he did as he was a bit defiant going off in all different directions instead of listening to coach -- my little monkey!

Escape Artist

This little man did not want to nap on this particular day. After playing, and talking, screaming and crying he tried a new tactic -- trying to escape his crib. He did not succeed this time, but I'm sure we are not too far away.

At the Children's Farm

Every 2nd Saturday of the month the Collingwood Children's Farm has a Farmers Market, which has been a great find. A beautiful 22 degree day, lots of fresh fruits and veggies, yummy cheese, food stalls, coffee, organic juices. What more could one ask for? Children's entertainment -- and today they had this mariachi guy. He was fantastic, played some classic Mexican songs and then some children's songs. He had musical instruments for the kids to play. Fun for all.



Oh, it's round...this must be a ball, right mum?



Dad's been teaching Logan to play with a hockey stick and puck. This apple and boomerang seem to resemble the puck and stick and did in a pinch.



Taking a music break and shooting back some yummy organic apple juice.



And after so much fun at the market, we went and visited the animals. Logan's favorite was this cute goat that just loved eating grass from Logan's hand. Logan's favorite part was ripping the grass out to feed it to him :)

Fun new game

Logan just thinks it's the funniest thing when one of us is in the bathroom and we stick our fingers underneath. He just laughs and laughs and tries to chase our fingers. It really is too cute for words.

Logan's favorite pass time

Getting Logan started early on chores, and it is something he absolutely LOVES to do...sweeping, and loading the washing machine!

mmmm...watermelon

There is nothing better on a hot day that a nice slice of watermelon. However, this little man thinks that one slice might not be enough. No, this little man is working a whole quarter of a melon...and by looks of it, succeeding :)

Tenting it

A bit delayed, but here are a few pics from our first camping trip to Mansfield. The first night was SUPER cold! We had Logan in two pairs of pj's, lots of blankets and his very own sleeping bag. You could barely see him in there. He was as snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug!



Life around camping was pretty hectic with a 16 month old. All he wanted to do was explore. However, he did enjoy sitting in his chairs and playing with mum and dad's coffee cups.







The first day, we were running around trying to figure out what things to do. We went to this town called Jaimeson, which was supposed to be great -- we thought it was disappointing. Then we went to this berry farm, thought we could pick some berries. Nope, no picking berries, just buying berries (however, those raspberries were the delish). We went to the Mansfield Zoo, and that was fun because it was quite interactive. Logan's favorite was feeding the camel, Cybil.







The last couple of days of our trip we did some hiking in the alpine. Our first day, Mt. Samaria. No, we didn't see any snakes, which we were totally expecting. I however had an incident with two bull ants (those things can bite). The hike to the Summit was hot, but there was some gorgeous wild flowers and the views were amazing.









The next day we went to Mt. Buller, this was to be the highlight of the trip. And the hike was easy, the views were amazing. The only thing that took away from it were all the chair lifts. Although, Logan loved all the parked snow plough machines.










After our hike was Craig's favorite park of the trip. He has been talking about going fishing for ages and this trip was going to be the trip. But, our campsite wasn't near a lake and it just didn't look like it was going to happen. But, on the way down was a park and a little river so we decided to stop. Now, the playground was blazing in sun, so Logan just practice his favorite hobby, throwing rocks. And Craig cast his line a few times. And to his SHOCK, he actually caught a fish, a little rainbow trout.
