Long Summer Days, BBQs Galore...

30/7/2015

0 Comments

 
Sorry it's been a while since I have posted a blog. Been very busy this summer, feels like I need ten of me just to keep up with everything going on. Plus, by the end of the day I am exhausted and my feet feel three times too big, so the comfy couch and Netflix, after the little one is asleep, seem to be my go to favourites.

Anyways, a couple weeks ago I got to enjoy our workplace summer BBQ, complete with sponsors, volunteers, and lots of great food. Took place at our Festhalle, Hubertushaus, which is a great location with delicious food, delightful atmosphere (water fountain in front) and amazing hospitality. This is where the staff at KWO go for opening night dinner (rollbraten and spaetzle, mmmmmm).

Lancaster Smokehouse provided a whole pig for a roast, and I enjoyed the pulled pork on a bun that came from it (melt-in-your-mouth). The corn is always a favourite, and I managed to eat most of my sausage (but no Oktoberfest mustard, what gives?) The games were pretty good as well, got roped into scoring one of them, but everyone seemed to have lots of fun.

We also got to arrive in style, as we got a lift with our sponsors Brentwood Livery (great group of folks). Would love to win one of their awesome winery tour, or restaurant tour, packages.

Picnics & Concerts in Waterloo Park

Recently we have been finding ourselves out at Waterloo Park on Sundays, having a picnic in the park and enjoying the happenings there. A couple Sundays ago we enjoyed a leisurely bike ride there, the splash pad, the play area, the Park Inn, and a picnic while watching cricket. This past Sunday, we went to watch the Big Bandshell Concert Series, featuring the Waterloo Concert Band, and they were quite good. Our little one enjoyed dancing and running around half the time.

Tacofest WR

14/7/2015

My husband and I got to go on a date night, and we chose to go to Tacofest! It was so worth it, worth the feeling that I missed out on tickets, only to be surprised to find some more online 30 minutes after having sold out. Worth the hassle of finding a sitter, as our usual go to was out of the country. 

So good, will be getting tickets next year (no matter what must be done). 

We drove down to Kitchener and walked around the Night Art Market, before Tacofest officially opened. When it opened we grabbed our glasses and the poker chip for voting. We started at the top and made our way down (which might have been bad, as my fav was up top and meant eating two of those before trying all of them, which meant I missed a couple tacos at the end).

Canada Day 2015

8/7/2015

Canada Day was amazing this year. Spent the day with the babe and the hubby, and the wee one in the belly of course. We enjoyed a lot of the day outside. Had a delicious egg breakfast, a yummy lunch and visited with one of our good friends for the afternoon on our back deck.

Around 4:30ish we decided to head over to University of Waterloo's big bash at Columbia Lake Fields. 

Picture
It was packed tight there, so tight that we had to keep a steady eye on the wee one. We also decided just to grab dinner, enjoy the outdoors a bit, check out the fire truck, then head home before the evening events (yes, we missed the fireworks).

Taste of Oktoberfest (Part 1)

6/7/2015

0 Comments

 
On Thursday, June 25 I was able to experience Taste of Oktoberfest. This is a new series of events, created by Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest, to highlight beer pairing with food (mostly with a German flare). This is very similar to Stein and Dine, but is only three courses; this allows for a less pricey ticket, so more people can enjoy the event. This was thought up after hearing about Waterloo Region Museum hosting Beer - The Exhibit. 
Picture
A suggested collaboration was accepted with open arms by the museum, allowing it to be hosted at their venue, with access to the new Exhibit included. If you have a chance, go to the second event in the series (November 5), which will be holiday themed.
