catching up

I haven't been on my blog in a little while, so I have catching up to do.
First we had out annual corn roast, third edition.  it was a success even if it was very windy and cold.  Food and friends were a plenty.

 Family and friends fiested on good foods.

We added a new member to our pet family.  This is Lacey, our one and half year old chihuahua.  Never thought I'd be one to dress up a dog, but it's kind of fun :-)

With the western/country festival in our local town, Audrey's school had a cowboy day.  Doesn't she look good in her cowgirl outfit?  HEEEEEHAAAAA!

back to school

Finally, it's back to school time.  But the summer sure went by way tooooo fast.

We were all ready, even with a new bus driver.

a proud papa

Not having a son, Paul has to make do with daughters.  That's ok, nothing his girls can't do that a son could, even ride a motor bike.  

Audrey was still too nervous last year, but this year is another story. 
She got on..........

 and rode off.......

end of soccer season

Audrey played soccer for the first time with the U8 Glen Sandfield girls.  She somewhat enjoyed it, but just didn't seem to get into it.  But she still had a lot of fun playing, and made plenty of new friends.  
Her fovorite position was playing goalie.

She got  a really cool medal, she was very proud.

And this is her team.

hot summer days

Nothing can cool off kids better than freezies on a hot summer day.  Keeps them quiet and under control for a good 5 minutes...

Do I dare to ask Cowboy Joe to watch them?  Doesn't look like he's up for the job.....

18c and cloudy

rained out but fun day

We've been planning to take the girls' to Mont Cascades water slides.  We decided to go Sunday morning, even though the weather was cloudy, but hot.  but by the time we got to Ottawa, the skies opened up, heavy rain, lightening and thunder.

Once we got there, we were told they would open up the park, and if there wasn't more than 50 people by 1pm, they would close up. 

 Three of us got to do one slide, when thunder and lightning did it's thing again and we were all ushered into the chalet to dry up and eat our pic nics.

 We were told to leave the park, it would close up do to severe thunder storms.  Having only half the day gone, we decided to head into ottawa to hit the museums.  Started off at the museum of civilisation.

We decided to take the girls to see shark 3D at Imax.  It was a first for all of us, and I must say, I will be going again.  It was really cool, just like you were swimming with the sharks.  The girls kept trying to pet the fish as they swam in front of us.  We all got to where those "cool" glasses too.

Overall, we a had a super fun day.  We will be going to the water slides again on Sept.06, hopefully, we get sunshine.




27c, feels like 38, some sun, and thunder showers warnings.
