weekend

My parents offered to take my kids for the weekend...of course I said yes!! Rob and I have had the weekend to ourselves. It has been glorious!! Last night we went out for dinner and then picked up a few things at IKEA. We then came home and did not have to put anyone in the shower or in bed...we just sat and talked and watched some tv!! Today we slept in until 10:30...heaven!! We went and saw The Dark Knight this afternoon. It was as good as the reviews said it would be. We were disappointed to see children there...some as young as 6-7. It is not a movie for kids. I think Emily and Noah would have nightmares after seeing it. It is a very dark movie...good though. I could not help but be sad watching Heath Ledger knowing he is no longer with us. Very sad!
Anyway...that is the weekend so far. Only one more week of work and then I am on holidays for 2 weeks!!!!!!!

great summer so far

We have had a great summer so far. We have not taken any holidays yet so I are getting tired but I only have one more week of work and then we are off!! We are going to music camp for the first week and then up to visit Rob's mom the second. We might hit up Wasaga Beach in there too.

We went up to Hamilton a couple of weeks ago. Rob's brother Dave has out in a pool and built an awesome deck. The kids had a ton of fun playing in the pool and we had a great visit with Dave and Leanne and other family. Here are some pics:

WET!!

So I think I have finally dried out enough to post a new message. We went camping for the July long weekend...well we made it a long weekend by taking the Monday off!! It was probably the worst camping trip we have had. The company we were with was great...but the rain just would not stop. It started as we were setting up...lovely! It rained all day Saturday too! On Sunday a huge storm hit that sent us all over the edge. 2 families out of 3 went home. The other ones had a trailer so they were drier then us! Here are a few pictures:







The water outside our tent.

During the storm Fibi was really scared!

The sun came out for about an hour so the kids went for a swim...looking good Noah!!!
