We spent the last two weeks in southern Ontario. The first week we returned to the same cottage in Grand Bend that my family has rented for many years. It was great to spend a relaxing week with my extended family. The weather was hot, hot, hot, so it was nice to be in an air conditioned cottage so close to the beach. I have a tonne of great pictures of the kids from that week but have whittled it down to a few for this blog. Most of my pictures were taken at the beach, and I just realized looking at them now that I don’t have a single picture from our campfires. Campfires are a highlight for the kids, and we had one every night of the week, so you’d think I’d have gotten at least one picture of that.
The kids really enjoyed spending time with their older cousins, and we’re missing everyone now that we’re back to reality.
The second part of our vacation was spent in Toronto at Centreville (on Centre Island) and the Toronto Zoo. The third day we were there we had planned to go the Science Centre, but we were just too tired and so spent our last day at the hotel taking advantage of the hotel pool and hot tub.

During our holidays we all got into the habit of staying up late and sleeping in in the mornings. So now, of course, we’re paying for it this week. We’re all a bit tired and cranky and sorry that holidays are over - for now at least. Tonight, when something wasn’t going A’s way, she announced that “today is the worst day ever”. DoT and I got a kick out of that. She was nonplussed.
