after much anticipation, gabe and i attended the EPIC Expo at the new vancouver trade & convention centre. we thought about being totally "epic" and skytraining down, but our timing was off and we ended up driving :( plus, i figured if i did a bunch of shopping, it'd be easier to pack the car rather than carrying a bunch of stuff. however, to offset our footprint, i took along my onya bags so i wouldn't need any vendor bags. yah!
there is just so much to see, do, and learn at epic but we zipped through most of it and focused on visiting nellie's all natural (i bought more dryer balls and laundry soda), domatcha (i bought the organic ceremonial tea), granville island toy company, rio rain (i bought a hoodie for $20 (regular $75!)), and bamboo naturals (2 great t's for gabe). the other highlights were the free samples of food: organic yogurt, locally-made potato chips, a variety of beverages, sweet treats, etc. next year, i'll make sure to take chris or my parents so we have multiple hands tending to gabe's needs. during a mini-meltdown, i took him to watch a puppet skit performed by parks canada...it's great that gabe enjoys visual activities!
to celebrate mother's day, gabe and i went to music class together followed by brunch @ the boathouse with my family. the food was delicious and gabe sort-of behaved for the most part :-) and that's it for today...chris is sick so we're having a low-key at-home evening.
happy mother's day to all the mommies!
