Summertime fun

I absolutely love summer even those gloriously hot days that make some people retreat indoors to air conditioned places. I think it all started when I was younger and my grandparents had a place on the Belleisle complete with private beach and sailboat. It was excellent. Fast forward about 10 years and we hardly ever go there anymore, but I still love all things summer because of all the time I spent there.

So far, we have had a great summer this year. We went to PEI for a much deserved first family vacation. We came home and have been busy since then, but really haven't gone very far from home. Alex and I have gone swimming a couple of times, played in the park and enjoyed some (lots in my case) ice cream. We've attended something almost every weekend - family get-togethers, my sister-in-law's 30th birthday, my cousin's wedding where Alex was the honorary ring bearer! I couldn't have asked for a better summer, which will make it even harder to go back to work in September!

Some things that I would still like to do:

• Road trip to Truro to see my aunt and uncle!
• Go to Parlee Beach. We usually take an annual trip with my brother's three kids for the day.
• Take a trip to King's Landing. Something that I've wanted to do for awhile now.
• Check out the Moncton Zoo again. I like it when I'm there, but afterward I always feel bad for the animals. I guess that's why it's at the bottom of the list.

My husband works every day of the week except Sunday, so it makes it hard to do a lot of things. He'll have to take a couple of days off, especially if it looks the weather will be nice!
So wish me luck, because I hope that we can cross all of those things off of my list.

PS: Alex has tooth number three and four in and he attacks far less than before!
