Chinese Lantern Walk About

Yesterday was awonderful day. For the first time since my surgery, we had the chance as a family to get together. Al & I,Tania and the kiddies took the Go train to the CNE, to meet up with Janine who bicycled there, then Jason met us after work.It was fun being with Tania and the kids on the train, keeping up with 2 little ones truly keeps her busy.
We experienced the Food Building there, having a couple NO NO's. However walking for so much, probably cancelled it out. Just being with the kids and grandkids made the time so special, I've missed them all so much!
At Ontario Place we took in the Chinese Lantern Festival, truly a must to see. Well worth the extra price.Highly recommend for an evening get together, walking amongst the lanterns.Wear comfortable shoes! So much to see! Al took lots of photos, if anyone is interested, I'll email them gladly. The actual Chinese part starts at 7 pm, it is an additional fee, it runs until October, so to go after the CNE is not a bad idea. Lovely fall evening walk abouts.
Priar to that we had the chance to go to the Children's indoor Lego playground where Sofie and Aiden had a ball. We all loved just interacting and taking in all these precious moments.
All of us have had so many ups and downs this year. This was a major up!!!! Somehow we have all managed to weather our own storms, the path is set for a brighter tomorrow!We are all stronger for them!
Yesterday morning I weighed myself for the first time in 2 weeks. Since the end of May, I have lost 18 lbs. I think Fridays are a good weigh in day for me, better than a Monday. Weekends are prone to occasional slips which can be rectified during the week. For myself I think weighing myself less, only once a week (Friday) may help with my individual loss.
Will be figuring out good juicing items which, Al can juice for us.
In the meantime, walking seems to be a new pastime for me, my quick healing can be accredited to all the walking in the last 3 weeks.
Hoping the golf course walk abouts gives you all great scores. Have a great week all.

Love Birgie
