…Dag because I spent it in the company of my favourite Belgian Girl Wonder, the infamous Turbo-Powered Sophie

We spent the day on Toronto Island, playing in the water.

Well, Sophie played in the water.  I mostly played in the mud.

In non-Canada-Day-related news, last time Sophie and I got together, we did some fingerpainting.

The first piece is entitled “Damn Now My Shirt Is Covered In Cat Hair”, and the second is “Family Of Birds On My Windshield”

Last weekend I got to hang out with my favourite 6 year old, Miss Sophie Louise Ferrari A-Go-Go.

We started with crafts.  I made a Lady Gaga caterpillar, and Sophie made several lovely bracelets, of which I neglected to get photos.

We had lunch with Anaïs, and then headed off to explore the city.

First, Sophie beat up a giant balloon.

But then we found out that the balloon had some Enforcer Balloon Thugs patrolling nearby, so Sophie wisely made friends.

After assuring the balloon people that Sophie meant them no harm, we continued on our Awesome Adventure.  Sophie layered an ice cream moustache over her orange drink moustache in a bid to impress the crowds at Yonge and Dundas.

After watching Toy Story 3 (which was surprisingly decent for a sequel but still not as good as the original), Sophie liaised with a member of the balloon people PR department and got herself this excellent “kitty caught a mouse” balloon hat.

We finished the night with some Karate Kid (the original), which was BORING (according to Sophie) until the ending when the fighting started.  Her parents picked her up at 11pm, at which point she was engaged in a kung-fu battle with Jonathan, who has vowed that he will never have children because he was so tired after Sophie left.

The End.
