Soaking up every bit of summer!

This week the boys and I have been trying to fit in as much summer fun as possible!

We headed to water parks, beaches and friends over to the pool! 

As much as I'm sad to see summer end, I'm happy with memories I've made with the boys. We've had lots of fun spending time together. I've cherished our mornings when they have crawled in to bed to snuggle, and our late summer nights. 

I'm glad we had adventures this summer including  visits with Wendy and Barry in collingwood, visits to the library, camp for Owen, trip to pei, drive in movie, beaches, swimming, camp fires and most of all family time!

Day in the County!

Today we were suppose to go to Ottawa but the forecast was rotten. We decided not to go and headed out to L'Auberge for breakfast but they were sold out of chocolate croissants so we decided to head to Picton for breakfast at the harbour inn. It was worth the drive... Delish!
Next we headed to the caddy shack beside the sandbanks to play mini putt. 

After we headed to my favourite homemade ice cream stop at slickers in Bloomfield. 

What a great day!

Starting Summer off Right!

 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE SUMMER!!

I am loving every minute of being home with the boys this summer!  Swimming, pool parties, who could ask for anything more!

Griffin is officially a swimmer!  He just loves swimming this year, and just this past week he has taken off his water wings and is swimming on his own!

Soccer Stars!

Summer Fun

We have been busy and having lots of fun....
It is hard to believe that we are already three weeks in. I hate the feeling of the summer slipping away, but we have been having such a great time that it doesn't really matter, and we have so many more fun things planned!


We spent three days at my friends new cottage in Hanover. It was great to spend so much time with friends I rarely get to see anymore. I can't even begin to tell you how many memories were flooding back from the good old days when we use to cottage together before kids... I even had gone skinny dipping.. I know you don't believe it, but it was fun. This time it was a different kind of fun. It was great to catch up, and to have our kids actually get to know each other. By the end the kids were all very sad to leave.

Our lovie picture at the cottage!


The three year olds had a blast together! At this point they were racing to see who could swim faster! All three of them just started to really enjoy the water a week prior to this outing and we couldn't get them out of the lake!


Owen fishing with his dad for the first time. This boy loves animals... catching frogs, fishing, playing with the minnows, you name it, he loved it!


Speaking of love.... I believe my boys are developing my love of ice cream! Our trip to Marineland and Niagara Falls wasn't complete without a stop in Niagara on the Lake for some COWS ice cream! I remember being on the east coast and stopping at every COWS ice cream store around! This was the highlight of this trip for me!


The boys were actually interested in seeing Niagara Falls this time around!

Niagara Falls Indoor Waterpark is a blast! We have so much fun there everytime we go! It is located right downtown and a skywalk away from our hotel!


The boys always request a visit to Marineland! They love this place! Both of them love the shows and seeing all of the water animals!

My boys are swimmers! You can't keep them out of the pool. Owen has actually become a bit of a pool snob... he doesn't want the blow up pool in the back anymore, or the slip and slide, it has to be an inground pool like his grandparents!

Owen was the soccer star this year! He really did well and loved every minute of it!


What a hidden gem... Oak Lake Beach is 10 minutes from our house and so great! The kids love the warm water, all of the toys at the beach and the cute little snack shack!

We also have visited the Toronto Zoo! The boys highlight was the stingray exhibition!

Missing Summer Already!

The last day of summer holidays were spent at the Sandbanks! A favourite place for both boys. Owen loves to splash in the water and Griffy is a sand man. This outing was extra fun because friends came along. Anita brought her boys and our neighbours and their two children came as well.

Its hard to believe these pictures were taken just a couple of weeks ago and now I sit here in a warm sweatshirt to keep warm from the cool evenings.
