Another week, another trip to the city for sporting events. Pat had tickets to the Jays home opener series, and I had tickets to take my nieces Hailey and Regan to watch the Olympic Swimming Trials at the new PanAm pool in Scarborough/

The PanAm pool is right near the Toronto Zoo, so in between heats and finals on Friday we went to visit the animals. It was a really chilly day, so we had the place mostly to ourselves.

We managed to see the polar bear cub Juno and the two Giant Panda cubs without even waiting in line. There were signs that said "2 hour wait from here", so I was glad to be there on a cold Friday afternoon!

Regan's favourite part was seeing the giraffes. We got to the giraffe enclosure as the zookeeper was feeding them and giving a talk.

We had weekend passes for the Olympic Trials, so we went to watch heats and finals on Friday and Saturday. There were some exciting swims and some disappointments, as with any trials event.

Jasper doesn't like to sit still for long anymore, so Regan entertained him by letting him crawl around the stands.

We stayed with Andrew and Katie in Markham and they were great hosts for the weekend, letting us stay in their AirBnb rooms and cooking us great food. Sorry for the early morning wake ups on a weekend! Mom and Dad came to visit on Saturday afternoon and we all had a Costco dinner feast before going to the pool for finals.

Sunday, the girls had to head home to North Bay, so Jasper and I met up with Pat downtown. We met some friends for brunch and then caught the Sunday afternoon Jays game with Dudar and Britt. Didn't get any pictures from that one, but it was a fun time and the Jays won!
