Happy Anniversary!!!

Saturday June 6th was our Eleventh wedding anniversary. Eric and I don't do a lot for things like valentines day and anniversaries....we just enjoy our time spent together.
That being said, we had the chance to go to Stratford with Norm and see the swans sitting on their nests. Norm likes on swan in particular, her name is Margaret.

Her nest is right near the water's edge but very close to the road as well. The parks have fenced off her nest so people and animals can't get to her.

When we came up to her we noticed that it looked like she had three cygnets (baby swans)! She would lift her wing up a bit and let us have a peak at her new little ones. She was very calm and relaxed with us there.

Slowly she started to get off the nest to find herself some food and water...this was a huge treat for us. We were able to see that 4 of 7 eggs had hatched. There were three gray cygnets and one white one. These are the pictures that I printed out for my mum so she could see them while still in hospital.

The rest of the day we spent just hanging out with the kids and watching TV. The old married couple that we are! Here's to many more years together, just the way we like it :)
