Sunday was an extremely spontaneous and busy day!! We had no clue what was in store but one thing was for sure, Maelie wanted to get out of the house. The hot air balloons didn't lift in the morning due to the lack of wind. We decided to head over to where they were and just look at the ones that were blown up. We had a great view of these three:
We drove off with no plans in sight... and ended up visiting Bate Island in the middle of the Champlain Bridge.
We were impressed with the amount of friendly wild life there!! We decided to rush over to the grocery store and get a huge bag of peanuts for the squirrels and bread for the ducks and geese.
This squirrel had us laughing!! I am not sure what caised his problem, but anytime he started eating a peanut, he kinda fell over to his side and looked like he was dead. Once done he would just stand up as if nothing happened. It was so adorable!
What a beauty!
We also saw this little chickadee up close!
A few of the groundhogs were friendly as well! One was actually almost sitting on my croc!
We headed on to the side of the river where we fed the geese and the ducks.
This one was a bit overly friendly!
Maelie is truly in her element when she is surrounded by animals and wildlife!
Three gorgeous swans!
"Hey, how ya doin'?" Love the look on Maelie's face!!
She built a rock sculpture on one of the big flat rocks by the side of the river.
"Hi Mom!"
After our almost all day adventure, we headed out to see the hot air balloons! Thankfully there was just enough wind for them to go! We found an awesome place in Gatineau Park area.
We had a PERFECT view! They all had to fly right on top of us to go towards Aylmer.
Here is Maelie at the top of her rocks watching the balloons fly by. a bunch of them waved at her and she was SO excited!
We chased them to Hull near the Plateau. It was neat to see some land! I love watching the little hot air balloon chasing cars drive around looking for the spot where their balloon will land!
We had a wonderful day together! Maelie thanked me repeatedly for such a nice day. I just LOVE that she is so appreciative and loving when it comes to spending time with other little living creatures :) I love that she cherishes simplicity and is able to appreciate everything that is around us. I also cherish that she still finds it enjoyable to spend time with her mom!! :) Let's hope this stays forever!!
