Crocheted Minion Hat

My niece wants to be a minion from Despicable Me for Halloween. On Sunday she requested (demanded, really) a hat. I found many pictures on Pinterest and came up with this:

The hubby is my go-to model - hats always look so good on him. Me? Not so much. In any case, it was a pretty simple crocheted beanie pattern in hdc. The eyeball was my favourite part. I left the hair long so she could cut it to her liking. Yay Halloween!

Fireworks

Each year in Vancouver we have the Celebration of Light down in English Bay. It is a huge event, with tons of people heading into the downtown core to watch them. I'm not crazy about the crowds, so last weekend we checked out some other fireworks. These were outside of the ballpark, where the Vancouver Canadians play.

They were awesome! Don't you just LOVE summer??
