HBD Canada!

Happy 145th Canada!


We took advantage of the gorgeous summer weather to take a jaunt down to Sarnia for an impromptu Sunday Picnic and Swim.


A tasty picnic at Mike Weir Park...

Beach Chat...

Wanna play? (Like my Rock of Ages hairdo?!)

Hold on - who's the one fetching?

Keir and Mum in the sun!

Saturday Sip

One of the perks of our new locale is that our very favourite Niagara area wineries are only a 40 minute drive away.

A few weekends ago we took a few hours to Sip 'n Shop at a few favourites: Tawse, Thirty Bench and Hidden Bench.


Thirty Bench (with Toronto hazy-lazy in the background!):

Tawse:

Hmmm...seems I forgot to get a photo of the ever lovely Hidden Bench....perhaps I should have been doing less tasting and more photo taking!

What with these great wineries so close we were able to pop over in the late morning and be back mid-afternoon - time enough for a nice sweaty bike ride along the Rail Trail!

Man! On A Wire!

Kitchy or not (ummmm, it totally was...) we made the trek to Niagara Falls to see Nik Wallenda make his now-famous walk.


A little self portrait of our motley crew...

The flying (well, carefully walking) Wallenda...

Now, if only I'd remembered to snap a pic of the calf tattoo (it was of Jesus - BBQ-ing and drinking a beer) that was on the guy standing in front of us....
