About Us

Victoria, BC, Canada
This blog began as a modern "baby book" for our first child, Finlay, who was born in December of 2010. The recent addition of Seamus, born in January of 2013, has meant continued efforts to put into words and pictures his early years. We also use this forum to catalog our family life: two loving partners, two beautiful kids, car-free, child-centred, attachment-focused, with a love of food and health thrown into the mix!

Splash-Pad 2013

July 20, 2013

It was a beautiful day.  The whole family went to the splash pad with "Namma" and had a lovely picnic. The splash pad is always one of Finlay's favourite places to go with his namma (Tyler's mom) when we are in London. We stayed at the park for hours switching between running through fountains, playing on the grass and having our picnic.  Finlay ran all over the place at times stopping to watch the "big kids" playing in the water.

The splash pad in Lambeth has a number of different fountains that all spray water at different times. Finlay will just run from fountain to fountain all day long.

Finlay had some koosh balls that we brought with us to the splash pad for a little bit of extra fun.  The koosh balls had attached rubber pieces that you could hook onto a sling shot sort of contraption. After about 5 minutes of watching his Dad play with it Finlay was shooting the koosh balls all over the splash pad.
