Summer 2013 wrap-up

This post is mostly for our own recollection.

Mid August, after a great visit with their cousins from Calgary, Natasha exclaimed "We haven't done ANYTHING all summer!"

So here is a summary, what do you think?

July
Vowle's cottage -  friends' cottage stay.
Strawberry picking
Perth Farm Party  - Bonnie and Cathy biked out to Perth and joined the rest of the families for a nice party week-end, river float, bobbing for apples, stringing donoughts, dance party, singing by the bon fire.
Long Sault Parkway bike ride.  Family ride from Upper Canada Village towards Cornwal.  Beautiful!
Cottage getaway - 5 days at our neighbour's cottage rental in the Kawartha's.  We are spoiled!
Mont Tremblant - beaching and gondola rides!
Kingston week-end of biking.  Wolfe Island and Kingston Waterfront.
And daily swims.  We have two houses most of the summer, our's and our vacationing neighbours.  It's a hard life!

August
Girls and Dad week-end, while Bonnie and Kathleen biked Kingston to Prince Edward County for a long week-end of riding.
Iona and Flan visit for a week, from Calgary.  Highlights were Peace Tower, Byward Market, shopping and
Sandbanks - rolling down sand dunes with cousins, and riding the waves at the beach.
Bon Echo - Joe Perry Lake.  3 days of canoeing and peace.
ROAD TRIP!!!  - 8 days - North Conway, Mount Washington, Boston, Gloucester, Cape Ann and Lake Placid.

Add to the list, pool parties, dinner with friends and lots of soccer.

I think we had a pretty awesome summer!
