Victoria...

ahhhh... I feel like "better late than never" is becoming a common theme of my blog... sorry blogging friends! Well this is a follow up to our trip to Calgary. This was the second week of our holidays that we spent in Victoria with Colin's mom and dad... aka Grammy and Grampie. It was a lovely and relaxing week. We went to the beach, we rode trains, went to the museum and just enjoyed each other's company.

{Rupert and his Grampie}

Rupert is a lover of all animals. He rarely shows fear, which is a little worrisome to the momma! So where else would we go for such an animal lover? The petting zoo of course! He absolutely loved the goats. And there were babies too which were simply adorable. We spent most of our time following the goats around and sometimes even brushing them! Too much fun!

Had to stop at the park and go for a ride on the bulldozer as it looked just like Byron the Bulldozer from Thomas :D

He may look happy in this photo, but this was certainly not the norm for this boy in the pool. Sadly he didn't really enjoy the kiddie pool that we so lovingly filled with warm water for him. He was ok to stand in it and have water poured around him, but as soon as he got his clothes wet the world ended and his little pool was flooded with tears! What a little monkey!

So these next two photos are a little snap shot(s) of our evening in Sydney at the night market. There was a group of people playing music on the street and letting the kids join the band with some shakers. Rupert went nuts! He absolutely loved it! He ran around shaking and giggling! I think the crowd enjoyed him too :D

All Aboard!!!!!!!!! A beautiful day for a train ride!

I don't know if Rupert was nervous or just taking it all in, but he had a very serious face the whole time and clenched very tightly to his little ticket. Such cuteness.

Oh how my boy loves the beach... good thing I don't mind a little gross...

...and speaking of gross... yah that's right that's poop he's touching.. not real poop of course... but it sure did feel squishy! It was part of the Natural History Exhibit at the museum!

It had an amazing kid's section where kids could put on costumes and play with very cool things all under the shelter of sheer tents. We had a blast! And were so excited for Rupert's first of many trips to the museum and hopefully his love for it will be as big as ours!

Well we had a wonderful holiday, back to real life blogging! :D Also... thought I should post photos of our Victoria trip on here because it seems like some Aunties don't comment on facebook anymore.... uh oh no she didn't..... yah I did :D love love love
