A day out in Richmond

Today we went to Richmond for the day with our friends Katy and Patrick. We visited the park, which is very pretty, and had a lovely lunch too. I especially like dthe deer, who roam free in the park.

Aunty Kerry gets married

This weekend we travelled down to Bournemouth for Aunty Kerry's wedding. Aunty Kerry is Mum's best friend, and Mum was matron-of-honour. We had lots of fun- I especially liked all the bridesmaids. Aunty Kerry looked beautiful- Ken is a very lucky man!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today Dad was 29 years old. We had a birthday tea for him- Mum made a cake which was yummy! Afterwards dad and I relaxed on the sofa with a bottle each.

Fun at the Fair

Today was my Dad's birthday so we went to the funfair. It was great. Dad took me on the train ride, and we also went into the hall of mirrors.

O Canada!

Despite being sick both ways on the plane, I had a great time in Canada and I met lots of great family. I am sorry if some people aren't featured in the photos below, it isn't because I don't like you, it's simply because dad didn't have any good pictures of ya! This is my dad in the photo by the way.

Opa and Oma

This is my Opa and Oma, I stayed at their house when I was in Canada. They thought I was great, everytime I saw them I smiled. Thanks Oma and Opa for a great time!

My Cousins!

My cousins in Canada are really neat, I love to watch them play. Here is my cousins Jocelyn, Megan, Taya and Andrew. Andrew just ate some chocolate ice cream. Yum.

Uncle Steve!

This is my unlce Steve. He is a cop, you better be good to me or he will come and get ya!

Elsa x 2

This is my dad's Oma. My mum and dad named me after her, she is great. It was nice to see her. She lives in a big house with loads of other Omas.

Canoeing

One of the hightlights of my trip to Canada was the day we went canoeing in Rockwood. As well as canoeing, we played games. Turns out I'm a pretty hot american football player.

The McMichael Gallery

My trip to Canada wasn't just fun and games, I got some culture too!
Opa and Oma took us to the McMichael Gallery which is full of Canadian art. They even had a special area for Elsa sized people. I liked the canoe. It was tiring, I had to powernap in the car afterwords.

I am 1!

On September 11th I turned 1 year old. This was great because I got to eat loads of cake! No fork or help from mum and dad - just fingers!
Auntie Nadine threw me a great party and I got loads of presents! I also got to play with my cousins Jocelyn, Megan and Andrew on the trampoline. Bounce Bounce!
Thanks Auntie Nadine, I loved it.

Riverside Park

On my first Sunday in Canada we went to the park. I got to ride on the railway, which was just like a real railway but smaller. My mum went crazy! After the train ride my Opa bought us all some ice cream. Opa did the right thing, Yum Yum.

Look out Guelph, here I come!

I am off to Canada tomorrow to see my Oma and Opa and aunts and uncles and cousins. I can't wait! I will try and post some photos so everyone can see what I am getting up to!

I lost my wriggle

Today when I woke up my wriggle was gone. Normally I am wriggling all over the place, so much so it is tough fitting a cuddle in! But today all I wanted to do was cuddle. Mum and Dad have been feeling the same way too- hopefully family Vandyke will be at full strength in time for our trip to Canada on Friday.

Arundel- Jewel of the South Downs

Mum and I went by train today to Arundel, to visit the magnificent castle and the pretty town. We had a great time, despite the non- stop drizzle. I loved all the shops and the special high chair i got to sit in at the castle cafe, and Mum liked the pretty kitchen garden in the castle grounds.

Elsa the Baby Walks!! (and dances)
