Second Life Photo

I just had to take a shot of me sitting in the lap of a giant bunny.

What I did for Summer Vacation.

I took a couple of weeks this summer which I haven't done for a while now. This year I did a little camping earlier in the summer and then in August I took a week as well. Some how I managed to schedule this August week just before my sister's Jack and Jill party. So my week off turned into me working at my mom's house 7:30am until 9pm almost every day.

I went back to work for a break from it all.

I did manage however, to get a few walks in on my own. I took a trip around the downtown park one morning and had a lovely walk around there. The town has really taken some pride into creating and making this park accessible to all.

I also found a new friend on the path at the park that has been following me on my journies and loves to have his picture taken.

I then took one day to myself where I went and visited the Wye Marsh near Midland. It's a very pretty place with lots of paths to walk around, bike trails, and many education programs. The weather was wonderful and the day turned out to be just that little bit of relaxation I needed. Little did I know my family was praying the whole time that I didnt' fall off my bike during the trip and break an arm before the wedding.

Labour Day - Last Long Weekend for the Summer

I was so happy when I came home on Wednesday last week to be asked if I wanted to go camping on the long weekend. Without a moment's hesitation - YES! What a great weekend it was too. The weather was incredible and this was one of the few hot, sunny weekends we've had all summer. It's been incredibly wet and a little colder than the last few summers.

After a mad week of being busy and scrambling to get packed, we loaded the truck with bikes, hitched the trailer on and off we went north. The traffic was incredible for a long weekend and a Friday night to boot. After a short 2.5 hour ride we were in north country. In the middle of the bush and loving it. The mornings were full of mosquitos (and the dusk was too), the days were hot and sunny (and full of naps and reading) and the nights were filled with more stars than I have seen in a long time and several shooting starts.

A perfect end to a pretty great summer over all.
