June, July and most of August was pretty depressing, weather wise. It rained for most of the month of July and that certainly put a damper on most of our outdoor activities. But September was a good month so that was ok.
June was spent visiting with family, seeing to doctor and dentist appointments and just settling into our daily routine.
On July 1st we visited Petrie Island at the east end of Ottawa for Canada Day activities. This is a picture of our grandson Liam on a ride at the Canada Day festival.
We also took the motorhome to Kingston for the weekend and our daughter Renee, her husband Marc and our grandson Liam came along with us. It was the first opportunity we have had to take them on a trip with us to enjoy the motorhome lifestyle. Marc and I also got some great golf in at a super golf course in Kingston.Lise went to see the musical Grease at the NAC in Ottawa with her sisters. Sounds like it was entertaining. The American Idol winner from a couple of years ago - Taylor Hicks - had a part in it as well.
We went to Toronto twice in August - the first time to see a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game. Renee, Marc and Liam went as well. We stayed two nights and also went out for dinner with my brother and sister and their spouses. That was special as we don't get to see them very often. Our second visit was to attend the musical - Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It was a great show and the music was brilliant. I find myself humming the songs all the time now, even a month later.
September we travelled to Chilliwack, BC by air and visited with our son Adam, his wife Leah and our grandchildren David and Dylan. The last time we had seem them was last year when we were parking our motorhome in Chilliwack prior to heading south for the winter.
Here is Adam holding Dylan at the pool. We are celebrating David's birthday.
Here is David, taking skating lessons.
And here is another one of Dylan I couldn't resist putting in. He's so outgoing and smiley. He's great to be around and we certainly had a geat time visiting with them over the two weeks we were there. We are thinking of visiting them again in the spring.
Now it is time to start making our lists of things to do before we head south. The first thing on my list was to get this blog updated. I'm happy to have one thing completed anyway. I think the next three weeks are going to go quickly. We will probably be heading to Kingston (Rideau Acres) for a few days before we cross the border on the 28th.
