my birthday weekend in Toronto!

Jonas and I love Toronto and we have always talked about doing a weekend trip so we made it happen for my birthday! Unfortunately the drive was made super long there and back due to long lines at the border but all the Toronto fun was worth it!

Our first stop was Kensington Market for some lunch. It is also a great place to experience so many different types of people! My favorite was a guy riding on a skateboard singing songs to strangers at the top of his lungs::

We meet again Nu Bugel! Zara is back there realizing we saw her while she was trying to poop. ha::

Lunch buddies::

Serving Potheads since ah...I forget::

We walked around trying different food, enjoying the diverse crowd of people, the fashion everyone was wearing (ok, that's just me), checking out little shops and a random flea market::

Strawberry- Basil Rice pudding!!:::

We spent our first evening in the park. Zara loved playing in the splash pad &giant sandbox even when an older kid accidentally knocked her down hard. I enjoyed listening to live music from a nearby restaurant and playing with Z pretending to be Elsa from frozen and a lion::

We had birthday treats and drove around checking out the city and street art::

Perfect birthday cupcakes::

31 years old & 31 weeks pregnant::

Z was mad and wouldn't take a photo with me::

Zara gave me a balloon and carried it around all weekend for me::

We went to church & I sat in the kid's class with Zara. When I walked in, a kid was talking to the teacher in another language super fast. Then he switched to English. No big deal. Jonas served his mission for our church in the Toronto area & it is super cool to get to bring Zara here..almost 10 years after his mission:::

We also spent some time at Toronto Botanical Garden. Z found baby ducks, we watched squirrels chasing each other & had such a lovely stroll::

We had a great meal at Lady Marmalade while Zara napped & she just looked so cute::

Unfortunately for her she missed out on that waffle::

We had to go to Toronto Island! We love taking the ferry over too- it is a little adventure. We made a sandcastle, found rocks with Z, buried her in the sand and played in a splash pad and playground::

We can't wait to visit this lovely city again!!
