Paradise on the Bay Revisited

We spent the last week of August at a cottage outside on Meaford on Georgian Bay.  It was very relaxing - a little slice of paradise!   My nephews came to visit and they enjoyed playing on the rocks and in the water. The kids enjoyed endless fun on the beach and roasting marshmallows.  We went into Blue Mountain village a few times to go on the mountain "roller coaster" and to do the "Low Ropes" suspended obstacle course.  All in all a wonderful week!

Centre Island Says Summer 2012

Summer is not complete without a least one trip to Centre Island!  It is one of my favourite spots in the Toronto area.  It was a gorgeous day and the kids had a great time....

Maya's First Dance Class

We signed Maya up for dance classes this past spring.  She really enjoyed them!  It was her first class all by herself with no parents and she did just fine.  Many of the girls had little tutus but when i saw this Minnie dress I knew it was perfect!

Quebec Trip

We just got back from a whirlwind trip to Quebec.  We were in Montreal for Canada Day and then headed to the Tremblant area for a couple of days. Following that we were in Quebec City for four days and stayed at a lovely old boutique hotel.  The following are a few of my favourite snaps from the trip.

Mike with Maya and Aidan in Tremblant.  Aidan wanted to kick his soccer ball everywhere!

Maya trying out rock climbing - she's a natural athlete.  I have some video of Aidan too - he's Spiderboy!


Maya was thrilled to be old enough to do "bungy-jumping" on a trampoline

Mike "luging" down the mountain.  Aidan and I also tried it - what a blast!  And a wonderful view of the valley
