What a fantastic end to the summer holidays.

Well I just can't believe that summer has come to an end (well in two more days that is). I am really not ready for it to be over just yet. We have had an amazing, and exhausting, time this past two months and the kids will never answer "Nothing" when asked what they did during the holidays.

To end the summer off we headed over to Inverhuron for a week of camping. The nights were a bit chilly (freezing actually) but the days were beautiful and we spent a ton of time beachin' it and going for bike rides. Avery's only disappointment about the trip was there was not one snake to found...and believe me she looked.
At the last minute we decided to head up to Tobermory for the day to visit some old friends and check out daddy's old 'stinky boat'.
You know how when you decide to do something last minute, with no planning, just grab a change of clothes and go, the day always turns out to be amazing. Well that is exactly what this day was. A perfectly AMAZING day.
We hooked up with some friends from our 'Tobermory days' and they gave us one of their small boats for the afternoon! Words cannot describe how excited Cam and Avery were. Daddy took us around some islands and showed us a bunch of cool stuff, then we anchored in a beautiful little cove to have lunch. Mike and the kids jumped off the boat and did some swimming. Swimming in the open water like that was a first for Cam and Avery and they loved it! We had such a great time. Thanks Larry and Lynn, you guys put the cherry on the cake for us that day!!!!



I promised the kids that for the next two days we would do nothing but play at the park and go to the beach. Staying true to my word we headed to the park this morning for a bit of fun. Now that Isaac is walking he follows his brother and sister around screaming at them to play with him. He is starting to notice other children and interact with them. I can't believe how much he has grown and changed in just the last few months.


I am sad to soon have to say good-bye to the summer months. But I have to admit that I am looking forward to the beautiful changing colours of the leaves and visits to the pumpkin patch.
