Winding down

The Summer is winding down -- we've kept busy, that's for sure.  Lots of time in the pool, baseball/soccer in the backyard and plenty of frozen treats.  Enjoying the weather on our long weekend, hopefully it will continue on.

The kids start up school on Tuesday.  Dylan is ready to go, starting up Kindergarten -- guarantee it will be a breeze for him, even though he's probably the youngest one there.  He's already starting to read and is picking up addition pretty fast.  Looking forward to seeing him in action.

Beach Week!

Me, mommy and daddy and Dylan at the beach with are friends having  some fun.  We flied a kite, we played in the water, we made sand castles. We stayed in a beach house for a week! Do you want to know what the worst part was? It was leaving, but as long as you have FUN you can go again!

More from the beach

We spent 4 of the 6 days on the beach, kids had a blast.  Good times, grilling and plenty of relaxing -- just what we needed.  Ride back home was an interesting one, a closed bridge and long wait at border turned a 5 hour trip into 8 -- oh well, what are you going to do.  During the 8 hour ride I did spot about 100 Tim Horton's, must be a Canadian fave or something.  Anyway, about to get back to the routine, 1 week away is the perfect amount of time... maybe one more day at the pool today before putting the vacation to a close.

Crystal Beach

We spent last week in Crystal Beach, a place I used to go to as a kid when it was an amusement park.  I think it's been torn down now for about 15 years, now they have condos up on the water where the rides used to be.  It was a nice relaxing week, enjoyed the time off.
