Summer in North America 2018 Part 5 - Port Credit and Hamilton

On a Saturday afternoon, my SIL's SIL and her mom (haha is that confusing?!) took the three girls to a musical. It was Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory broadway musical. Thus, we all went to Toronto in two cars, including grandpa. While DH, his sister, her husband, and I went to Port Credit for a bite and a little stroll by the water.

Delphinium


Port Credit area is not too big but it's not too small either. The marina was full of parked boats and yachts with the owners and friends enjoying a beautiful summer weekend on the boat deck. Some of them even brought their pets on board and they have life vests for them.





Check out my SIL's dress. Doesn't she look gorgeous in it? I think I will make myself a skirt like that one of these days... I had worn my matching batik fabric (matching with Miss Kiki) that day, 'diaper' pant style. Usually this style is worn longer but because it was a hot day I tied it shorter. However, after wearing it for a while I decided that it wasn't very comfortable that way because it kept opening up really high so when we finished walking around I changed it to a wrap skirt instead. :D No more diapers!













We got back to my SIL's SIL's home (is that even more confusing? LOL) just before the kids came back from the musical. They had a lot of fun! We then gathered for an early dinner and headed back after a little bit of play time.
















Finally it was our last day in Toronto. We took some family pictures before grandpa drove us to Hamilton airport. We didn't go through Toronto Pearson this time because I came across a very good deal on a Westjet flight at CAD 99 per person from Hamilton to Winnipeg.


















Before we were dropped off at the airport, we made a stop at the Canadian Warplane Museum located just right by. It turned out that they had a special event going on that day so even though the tickets were a bit more expensive we got to see a few old planes in the air and operating.

As the name describes, the museum had many different planes on display. Some large, some small. I'm not too familiar with the different types but it was cool to see them anyway. Below are some pictures from the museum....

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
