Today was Violet’s first visit to the dentist. I took this near the beginning of the appoint, though after a little while she settled down and let the hygienist and dentist take a look at her teeth. They even managed to clean her front teeth.

Today I headed out for my long run. It ended up being just under 16km, what was great is that I changed up my route. Instead of just running around on the local streets I headed down through Colonel Samuel Smith Park, along the lake-shore to Marie Curtis Park and up Etobicoke Valley, before finishing along my normal road route. As I was running I captured a few picture, but settled on this one in the Etobicoke Valley park to show one of the reasons I love to run.
Today was my birthday and to celebrate Melissa and the kids made cupcakes. It wouldn’t seem right if I didn’t use a picture of me with my wonderful cupcakes for my picture of the day today. I also want to thank everyone for the kind birthday wishes.
The weather was so nice after dinner tonight, I couldn’t say no when the kids asked to play outside. It was fun being out there with the kids. I am amused when Jacob does things like I captured today. As a parent I think he shouldn’t be doing that, what if he falls. Though there is a part of me that knows when I was a kid I would have been all over that. Of course when he did it on the high slide in the big playground the other day, I was more concerned then I was today.
Today I found myself standing at the front of a subway car, and I just had to take a picture. I was like a little kid standing there looking out the window as we raced up the Young line. So when I sat down to post today’s picture of the day I had no choice but to use one of the many images I captured.
When I got home today I couldn’t help but notice this castle my little girl made with her Lego. She even made a flag for her castle, and put the castle in front of a fan so that it would blow in the wind. I’m not exactly sure what she was drawing on the flag, but I’m impressed that she thought her castle needed one.
Today we have a picture of Violet’s Lucky Rock. She found it after dinner at Applebee’s in Florida and it made the trip back to Toronto tin Nana and Papa’s bag. It was dropped off today and boy was my little girl happy to see it. So I thought I’d take a picture of it and share it with my readers. I’m not sure how she started but my little girl is getting a growing rock collection.

Tonight Violet was in bed early so I wasn’t surprised when she came down the stairs just after 11. I envisioned a late night we her, but all she wanted was to snuggle with daddy.
Tomorrow it’s back to work and with it a renewed focus on eating better, but for tonight Jacob and I headed out to Domino’s to pickup some pizza and Cheesy bread.
Tonight was our last full day and night here in Orlando. It was a relaxing day at the pool with a little shopping, so we only took around 100 photos. The one that stood out for me though was taken at the end of the night, it’s a group shot of our little family taken in our suite. complete with a representative of Disney.
