Weekend fun!

Since being back from NY we've actually had some free weekends - meaning no sports.  It has been so nice to just hang out with friends and do things spontaneously for a change.  The first weekend back we headed up to the cottage with my parents for the day on Saturday.  It was a colder day (which seems to be the way this summer has been going) but the kids didn't seem to notice and still had a great time going for boat rides, playing in the water and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows...

The weeks have been flying by with the two older kids at summer camp everyday.  They are really enjoying it (which makes drop off very easy).  

This past weekend  the weather was not looking promising so we took the kids to see Ice Age in 3D.  We spent the rest of the day with friends out in their backyard until the hail started...that was weird but very exciting.  Sunday we took the kids to Reptilia - a reptile zoo that entertained the kids for most of the day. Ty and his buddy Ryan volunteered to sit on stage with an albino snake on their laps.   (Forget what kind but it was huge)

 The weather did clear up though so we spent the rest of that day and night hanging out with friends and neighbours in our backyard.  Love it when that happens.  Once September comes we are back to our weekends in the hockey arena so I'm enjoying this free time while it lasts.  Some nicer weather would be great though... just putting it out there...
