Our summer outdoors



Our summer has been filled with outside activities. Many hours at all the local parks and playgrounds. It has been my mission this summer to go to as many different parks/ playgrounds as possible. This challenge has forced me to really get to know this city better too. There are so many cool little hidden parks in different neighbourhoods I would not know of otherwise. Our backyard has been Ray's challenge this year. He really prides himself in details of the backyard. The garden has been both of us. I love the planting and weeding and he loves watering and watching it grow. He works on the grass, and killing the weeds (a huge undertaking alone). Kids have loads of fun there with all there toys if we're not at a park. For our anniversary Dad and Carolyn helped us get my dream come true 3 person swing. I love just sitting in the shade while the kids run through the slip and slide. The beach has been not as much as last year for some reason but we are often there at least for evenings and suppers.
