Trip to Canada

Well Benjamin and I just returned from a 2.5 week trip to Canada. Benjamin got to hang out with Grandma during the week in London - while I worked in Kitchener. Then on the weekends it was PLAY time with all the aunts, uncles and cousins. There were so many activities going on, that I've broken this trip into 4 posts so make sure to check out the 3 other posts below. There are no posts of our flight there or back - as Benjamin boycotted sleeping on them which kept me pretty busy keeping him entertained. On the way back to AZ, he was up for 11 hours straight (from about noon till 11pm - Ontario time) and you would never have known it. As long as he could climb and move about, he was a very happy child. I was definitely more exhausted then he appeared!

Benjamin had a very busy time at Grandmas house, and I don't think he missed his parents too much!! He learned to climb up the stairs (and chairs, couches, tables) but he is too scared to go back down them. He also enjoyed daily walks in the snow, going to play groups, Grandmas friends houses and just playing at Grandmas house.
He was sitting on Grandmas lap for story time, but then once the songs began he had to get off and join in. And the following pictures are the reason we live in Arizona now!! And if you will notice his footwear - that is what occurs when you live in a climate where boots aren't required causing you to have to borrow your girl cousins boots when you visit her climate!
