Quick, it's almost over!

Looks like summer is coming to an end...the weather has been wonderful & hot, but the summer activities are ending and the first day of school is at last in sight! Henry had his last soccer game Thursday and everyone got a trophy!

So long to the Red Rockets!
We also had a visit from my friend Karen and her girls Thursday and the kids had a great time swimming and making up very strange plays with elaborate costumes. Unfortunately I didn't take photos but video of this and I don't know how to upload video! So you'll have to take my word for it, it was cute and weird...one story involved a two headed girl who befriended a man who lived in a dumpster! Points for originality I guess!
Then Friday night was the pub crawl! I'm getting old! It took me all of yesterday AND part of today to recover!
Here we are about to leave...the cab driver took our picture.
This was at pub number 2 where it started to pour rain while we had drinks on the patio...we were almost beyond caring but moved inside for a putting game.
Now we're at the 3rd of 3 pubs and frankly the pictures go downhill from here so I'll only add these last 2.
We ran into my "cousin" Jenn who was in Markham visiting from Nova Scotia. She was out with Ron who I hadn't seen since high school! We were there until the lights came on and then had a very interesting walk home! Lots of fun, lots of beer, lots of singing on the walk home!
Today we had Ryan & Tammy & Jenn and their kids here for pizza and a swim. Ethan had his first swim in the pool which he seemed to really enjoy and Ryan did some upgrading on our computer...thanks, Ryan!

We ended the day with a barbeque at Jill's visiting with friends we've been meaning to see all summer, old and new! It's amazing when it comes down to the last weekend before school starts how much you can pack in! We still have another whole day tomorrow!

Ha ha! You guys look LOADED!

It's really easy to upload video. Just click the little film icon to the right of the photo one you would normally use to upload images.

Good luck to Hannah and Jack at school tomorrow!

Dana -- that picture of you at pub #3 resembles how I looked at the end of the BBQ last night: had a wee bit of trouble getting moving this morning. I don't dare look at the pictures. I still can't see straight anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.
