Another great family gathering (minus the Kitchener crew) for Gran's birthday. Thank you Alice for the very profesh cake! Not her everyday makeup - some Halloween lewks!
Halloween wasn't quite the same this year without Alice, the cousins and WHERE WERE ALL THE TRICK OR TREATERS??? But Estelle still did a round of houses in the blustery wind. Candy is a great motivator...
Our Halloween decorations are a little more toned-down this year, as the kids get older and Guy's knee is sprained. But we still put together this creepy spider cocoon getup for the neighborhood kiddies. Let's hope we have some customers on the 31st!
In a past life (like 20 years ago), Lucy was in the rock climbing club at CEGEP, and has a habit of much riskier behavior (scandalous!) So last week when some ex-colleagues invited her for a social climb, there was a lot of hesitation and an almost cancellation, but... she persevered... To quote a recent podcast favorite: "We can do hard things" (and it was fun!)
There's nothing like a four-day weekend for a road trip and getaway to see one of the world's wonders... We piled into the car and headed for the Falls where we enjoyed a typical weekend of sightseeing, complete with great eats, a ferris wheel and go-kart racing. Projection light show inside the old Niagara power plant Start your engines... Moments before we got completely drenched Girls are soaked! Midway treats Paying homage to the Nikola Tesla statue Classic photo of kids discussing a random story instead of marveling at the falls (I've personally done this at Stonehenge) Hotel room pile up
2021 was our most successful yet when it comes to gardening. Sure, we're still not pulling in wheelbarrows full of tomatoes, but we grew a ton of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and 2 outrageously huge zucchini. (oh and some dahlias!)
