And.... we have lift off!

Sophie was in a VERY goofy mood on the UP. In her googles she was a mix of Amelia Earhart and an alien

Helping out his younger sister in the duty-free makeup section

He doesn't mind foundation but can't stand eyeliner, he told us

The goofiness continued in the lounge

even break-dancing on the airport floor in sunglasses...

and it continued on the plane - until I fell asleep on her and she was forced to sleep too

Cousins Visit Toronto - part 3

Out & about with Annabel

admiring the seared cheese with Auntie Sarah

The strange juxtaposition of Fort York in central Toronto

Heading down to the waterfront

Taller than ever!

A fellow Torontonian that we bumped into outside Fort York

 And then it was Wednesday and time for a ball game. So exciting with a walk-off home run in the 9th!!

A final get together for some lemon loaf, "champers"and sims (the simulation game)

Cousins visit Toronto - part 2

It's always fun to bowl with family, even if a certain uncle is clearly a little on the competitive side...

cousins who bowl together, stay together

Cousins visit Toronto - part 1

One of the most exciting parts of the summer has started. The BC cousins visit Toronto!!

It started with a grocery shop

a heaping 2 carts grocery shop if you were Sarah!

While Uncle Mike took his "nephlets" along the Lakeshore for some art work

So far, the visit has included a small celebration 

for a fellow we all love enormously

George surrounded by his loving squad of grandkids

The grandchildren sporting their "East Coast Lifestyle" hoodies

We had a fun outing to the Bata Shoe Museum

Our resident wonder woman

No, she didn't move around much

Me and my gal

Addie wasn't convinced about high heels

But he gave it his best kick

Burning off some energy before a private tour of Queen's Park

with the CBC provincial correspondent

Grandparent Camp - roundup

We were just two for 2 weeks and a day

There was a certain amount of this (which made our neighbour with 3 younger kids envious)

However, we did have to empty our own dishwasher - but didn't have to ask anyone 3 times...

As usual, there was a lot of sorting & culling of clothes, books and games

We ate well!

Tried my hand with a spiralizer - more to come!

Tackled some overdue chores

Including prepping and starting some paint jobs

And everyone cheerfully helped out!

But soon it was our last weekend, so we day-tripped to St Jacobs market for some goodies
