Summer Reflections

We can not believe our summer has already come to an end. Time sure does fly by. We had a fantastic summer together as a family and are thankful for the careers we have chosen and the opportunities they afford us. Jason nor I can fathom how people work all year round, we treasure our time together.

Busy is a word I would use to describe this summer. We pretty much did it all: Toronto Zoo, Ontario Science Center, ROM, Canada's Wonderland, African Lion Safari, Elmvale Zoo, Wasaga Beach, the cottage, Sherkston, Riverdale Farms, Muskoka Wildlife, many weekends in hotels, Jason spent almost 2 weeks in Holland, Jason and I went to Vegas for four days, birthday parties, BBQ's, swimming to name a few. As many of you know we are a family who loves to be busy and active, in fact most weekends from now until Christmas are already booked up.

It doesn't look like the fall is going to slow down for us. Jason has accepted a position coaching the Georgian College Men's Volleyball Team. We have many commitments for the weekends in the fall and the kids start up all of their fall activities. Both Riley and Simon will be taking swimming lessons. Riley chose her second activity to be dance and Simon asked to "play with balls and run" so we registered him in a gym program at the rec centre. We are also hoping to get them into a music program....who needs sleep???

All of this and we have a basement to clean....that's a big job at our house, an office to move, a nursery to paint and a baby to get ready for.

We are all sad to see the summer come to an end but look forward to all of our new adventures this fall.
