Grade 9 retreat

 Yes, you read that right. Grade 9 retreat. Sophie didn't have hers when she started high school but that didn't stop her and a team of resilient Grade 12s from organising a smashing 3 day retreat for incoming Grade 9s. I won't share photos of them here but a few non-identifiable highlights.

Hitting her stride/stroke

Working on her J-stroke with Dad in Algonquin


Heading to Toronto Island for the Longboat 10k
(her first)

And completing it - 4th in her age group! (And said she ran slowly to stay with her pal...)

Back to school(s) for Sophie


It was back to school (last edition) for our Grade 12 this Tuesday (traditional dinner of choice was: a salad and a dessert pizza!)


 
And then back to dance school on Saturday - just 3 classes a week + YMI + Nutcracker....

A Sebba summer

This teen (for only a few more weeks...) was rarely spotted outdoors but when it happened, it was magnificent!

Canada Day

When your Canada Day camping plans are thwarted by forest fire smokiness,
you do city things

like a ballgame

What to see and who to see it with

Went to an excellent production with this one who has eagle-eyes for all things theatre

well, this changes things

Early morning x-ray

and a boot for 4 weeks

 Grateful for the rest of the family pitching in, especially with the dog. (But it kinda was his fault...)

The shed

 We got it for free and holds a lot. But wow, is it hard to re-assembled when it goes wonky. Led by Seb, this great duo managed and without turning the air blue! 

Thank you both so much!!!
