Beautiful Weekend

So, after going on in the last post about how we only get rain, rain, cold and rain, the last three days have been lovely!  Friday and Saturday were the nicest with lots of sunshine but today was pretty nice too even with more cloud than sun.  Best of all, it stayed dry.  On Saturday, Jordy went to a birthday party on the north shore, so while Dad supervised him there, Mommy and Cygni went adventuring until it was time to pick up the boys.  We drove down to Deep Cove and shared a bite to eat, then walked along the beach.  Cygni enjoyed looking at the ducks and geese at the water's edge and found her first seashell, which she immediately put in her mouth!

After puttering around a bit, Mommy decided to look for a playground, but the one in Deep Cove didn't have a swing, the only thing Cygni can really play on.  I drove up the road a piece to stop at another park only to find it also didn't have a swingset!  What on earth!?  I was starting to wonder if North Vancouverites had some kind of bylaw against swings!  I asked a local and he laughed as he said he didn't think so, that I'd just chose the two parks that happened to not have swings.  Third time was a charm and Cates Park offered a very nice playground, complete with swings!

Wandering around the playground and park, 

Cygni's latest thing is answering, "No!" every time you ask her a question 

and it is so adorable.  

You may have to turn your volume way up to her her squeaky, cute little replies.

This morning we let Dad sleep in and went out to play in the park again.  And I discovered that my assumption yesterday was wrong -- Cygni CAN do more than swing:

She is growing up fast!
