What to do at our place?

While K & T's parents were partaking in a wedding, the kiddos had a lot on their agenda for the day. First, ballet exercises...


Second, quadruple horsey ride! Let's see you do 100 push-ups now Spidey!



Third, story time - which is very engaging, drawing the keen attention of all the kiddos...

Oops, lost one...we had fun with you all!

Fall has come and gone!

The farm was a big hit with the girls - Cashew enjoyed the pony ride, Mei was not interested - well, fearful actually. They thoroughly loved the rides and enjoyed a fresh farm apple afterwards too.
Some strange french guy came to stay with us.

A different playground is always a gem!

It takes work to balance work and play.

This thing is hilarous, you spin in it and have a pretty difficult time trying to get out of it.

First day of school

Cashew's first day of school - you'd think it was Spidey's too. Happy times! The kids line up outside the door until the first bell rings and the teacher opens the door. First kid in the line has to hold the door for the other kids.

Some visitors from another land.

Long gone are those warm days of summer. (apologies for the long delay in updating the posts)

Retreat

Where do you find a view like this? Somewhere where they have shiny new gondolas?

Ones that carry 28 happy people in one car and move 4100 people an hour.

Some place where you can wear shorts and play in the snow!

And where you can stand on the peak of the mountain.

Somewhere where you can go hiking with your sweaty friends...

And take a postcard photo by the lake...

And where you can enjoy a lovely lunch in the forest in the shade!

We had a lot of delicious food, good company, beautiful weather and things to be thankful for.

Back for more science

Who's got the biggest hands to play the G chord? We're testing this out for our house...

Meet, A-Ma, the butterfly whisperer.

This must have not been open last time - High Rail Bike. The volunteer cheers you one - Don't look down! Keep pedalling! Don't stop! Try no hands! You can do it!

The current exhibit - circus! Too bad the girls are too young and short for walking the high wire.

Close Spidey - You're not the Mighty Atom but a Body Builder is close.

Does this shirt make me look fat?

This is one big zipper...

And this is the biggest bubble you didn't see.

The tour begins

First, the Thomas the train tour... around downtown...

the shopping tour...

and those on the Tennis ATP tour.

What to do when you can't go home

Here Mei Mei, let me show you the way. Run past the rock, over the dragon and to the well.
I get it, let me try. Like this? Past the rock!

Over the dragon!

And to the well - pump me a 40 ouncer!

Now, time to record our feat on paper and seal it in a time capsule to be opened in 10 years! Dora's adventures are nothing compared to today's expedition - watch out Dora!

You know it's summer when...

You wear red to celebrate Canada Day! You start to practice your tennis drills...

You put on your shades...

And bring out the bubbles!

Well, the weather here is not that warm yet, but we'll take what warm weather and sun we can get!
