Holidays!

So once again i've been slacking with the blog! We've just got back from an amazing two weeks in Canada. We have always loved traveling and thought having a baby wouldn't stop us. We decided to test the water with a trip to a familiar place- Canada. We've been to Canada quite a lot over the years on our travels, so it was an easy choice for us. Plus we have friends and family to stay with too (bonus!) so we could do the trip on a tight budget.

Silas was a trooper and dealt with the long flight so well. This was our first morning in Toronto, having the first of many pancakes and maple syrup! Yum!



The view from our hotel room!!!


Hanging out on one of the islands off of Toronto, trying to escape the heat (so british!).

Meeting Keats for the first time.


Our friends Linda, Allen & Keats. They put us up on previous travels!


My good friend Matt who I met at uni, he's from Berlin but recently moved to Montreal for his girlfriend Luise's work. They came down to Toronto to meet Silas for the first time. It was lovely to hang out with them all weekend. 

We spent the majority of our holiday at my Aunt & Uncles cottage on Lake Huron in a place called Kincardine, about 3 hrs drive from Toronto. We were spoilt- yummy dinners were cooked for us, access to an always full beer fridge, and this view! We went swimming & kayaking everyday, bliss.


Watching the sunset with my Aunt & Uncle


Silas loved the freedom, he's a real water baby and was either in the lake or in the paddling pool.. or eating his ice lollies trying to cool down!

and a few more sunsets...

Now we're back trying to get over the jet lag and trying not to miss the guaranteed sun.....

(p.s most of the photos were taken by my lovely other half, i hardly took any pics!)
