Backtracking...Bel's Birthday and some simple fun


Sorry for the lack of blogging lately, I've been finding it hard to spare five minutes hence I'm only just getting around to posting photos from Bel's birthday last month. It already feels like so much has happened since then! We were packing up for our little trip to Tofino and so we kept things pretty simple. Bel wasn't too bothered seeing as we'd been to two kids parties in less than two weeks running up to her birthday. She opened all her many pressies first thing and then we spent the rest of the morning chatting to our peeps back in England and Malta, everyone got to see all her new dollies close up and we had lots of virtual kissing and monitor hugs! Its these times that I find hardest to be so far away :(  Thank you to everyone for her lovely presents! She's one lucky girly! 
After the morning's skype marathon we headed into town with the idea of feeding the ducks. There's a really sweet little creek that runs right through the centre of town and it's always full of ducks, the lane down to the edge of the creek is even named Mallard Alley :) We did a little research before leaving to find out what are the best foods to feed to ducks, apparently bread is not too good for their ducky tummies. On the advise of google we set off armed with a bag of peas and cut up grapes which indeed seemed to do the trick, the ducks totally swarmed us! The kids had a great time and we stayed until our pea/grape stash was all gone and our hands were numb. Then we set off in search of a hot chocolate before heading home for birthday cupcakes.
