The last of the summer swine... for now

There are loads of other pics of the summer to add but I don't have them with me. Watch this space...

 

 

 

 

Like Mother like Daughter

Some of the games that Kate and Mads got up to before Maddie went to school full time. This post may get deleted so make the most of it.

 

 

Sunset Madness

Sunset on Prince Edward Island. Kate gets credit for the great photos this summer, particularly the great sunset shot that cost her many mosquito bites. As you can see from the photo of Kate she did suffer psychological damage and gave the camera to Maddie for the rest of the summer.

As the temperature drops below -10 it is nice to reflect on the summer we had.

Some pics from the summer

 

 

 

 

This is all pretty self explanatory. Life is good and the kids are growing up!! While these aren't the prettiest pics of the kids they do represent their personalities quite well.

Hockey hall of fame

Today we have been to the hockey hall of fame. Here are all the boys examining the stanley cup. Gosh. They also had some interactive fun recording hockey commentaries, trying to save hockey shots and score against a virtual goalie.

Erindale Park

The kids have sat down in protest at their parents' continued plan to be OUTSIDE. You can see that walk that we took here as we tracked it with the groovy GPS function on Kate's Blackberry. http://www.gpsed.com/track/3383011166313686822

A walk in the park

Today we have decided to go for a walk in Erindale Park. It isn't going well. Despite the beauty of where we are the kids are whining they are bored and Kate may commit murder soon.

Family sled

Kate gave me a family size sled for Christmas. It is getting a lot of use at the Appleby College hill. Max spent a considerble time on board too until "Green Lightning" arrived.

After school activities

Max rolled this jolly snowman in the garden after school yesterday. Never thought I'd need to always have a carrot in the fridge.

Sledging

Today we have been sledging with Sian, Dave, Kieran and Flynn. Major sub-zero temperatures didn't deter anyone and the sledge I gave Chris for Christmas fitted 4 silly grown-ups very well. Really good fun.

Self portrait

This is what I look like after 50mins clearing snow off the drive. That would be the drive that gets longer every time it snows - I kid you not!

Birthday boy

Here is Max doing his best Hannibal Lector impression.

[Fwd: It snowed again]

While it looks pretty clearing the drive was a chore this morning. We
have decided a skiing holiday is more fun than a snowblower so I will
have big arms at the end of the snow season.
