Walks, Ball games, Friends, and Drive-Ins....

It's about time I update my going ons since my last post. The thing is, honestly, we are just relaxing... not doing a whole lot. Simply enjoying just being here at John's parents home. It is so incredibly different than being at my home in CA. There were only 3 people that lived in this home.. at the most. No one comes and goes as often as in my home growing up (if you can't remember, I have 10 siblings). So the experience here has been quiet and serene. It has been nice.

One of the things that we have been doing a lot of is taking walks. It is fascinating to me to see how many people here in Canada who like to take advantage of their parks and of being outside. Beside the fact that the weather has been great (with minor humidity), I have noticed that they have incredible landscapes and natural beauty all over the place. Its like living in nature and all the joys and beauty that come with that, whilst still living in a nice suburban home and all the eminenties that comes with that. It is a perfect balance of the two. Below is a nice walk we were able to enjoy the other day... this is just part of a local park. no biggy...

We also went to a Toronto Blue Jays game! It was awesome because they Blue Jays played against the Orioles and the Blue Jays won 4-1. The cool part was that all of the runs that they got were Home Runs. It was a fun game!!

The stadium 

The sky was incredible that evening!

John's mom and I went shopping and she is so little that the hats she was trying on would just engulf her!

John and his mom at Johnny Rockets!

There is a little downtown area near Johns home called Streetsville. It was so cute and quaint. John and I walked to it and had Shawarma's and went to the local stores. It was great!

We met up with our good friends at Yordale mall and ate at a restaurant called "The Pickled Barrell" It was great company and good food!... Can't get better than that!

This house salad was seriously sooo good that it made me make this face!!

The Clan!

We also went to the Drive-in! It is actually a big deal here in Canada and still something that a lot of people do. The last time I went to a Drive-In was probably when I was in 5th grade and the movie Boe-Finger was playing! So crazy! We saw Madagascar 3. It was fun!

These girls make me smile! Brittany and Emily

Our View

We have been having a blast!!! We have been so lucky to spend time with good friends! We don't get to see them enough because of living in the states. We are glad we were able to see them while we have been here! They have driven down to see us (we have been without a car) more times than we had expected and would have done more! We are sooo grateful for their friendship! :) I am sad cause we don't have photos with the fourth couple of our group, Brittany and Ben! Brittany just had a beautiful baby boy just last week. Congratulations to you both!!!
