bro and sis

Ashley took half a day off to celebrate our girl's 2nd birthday. We headed to the newly discovered (new to us) Cresent Beach (South Surrey), and had a nice lunch at the Harbourside Restaurant (thoroughly recommend it) and then let the kids play on the beach in the ever increasing B.C sunshine.
Alex learnt, while it seemed that that birthday girl got all the attention, actually, you can sneak away with the cool new gifts and play with them while she was distracted with something else, and you get to go out for lunch and have ice cream, and you get to do something fun afterward and you get to eat cake a sing happy birthday - and it wasn't even his birthday. So he learnt that it did indeed pay to keep sweet on the birthday girl - at least some of the time.
