It was a warm September afternoon, shortly after the boys had returned to school, when I was sitting out on my back lawn playing with our puppy. He was used to lots of attention and a much busier house over the summer holidays and now that it was just him and me for the day he was a bit bored and restless. So there we were sitting on the grass playing a little tug of war and enjoying the warm day when I spotted a snake by the sand box. Truth is, I saw it a couple of times while we played but … [Read more...]

Last Summer I was so good at sharing with you all our weekend adventures through a series of Virtual Playdates. This Summer, I admit, I dropped the ball! But right before Summer ended we took the boys back to one of favourite river spots on a hot day and my camera was in tow. The place was packed, as the whole town it seemed had arrived to splash and play on the last weekend of Summer! The water in this area is only ankle to knee deep in most areas. You might be wondering why my oldest son … [Read more...]

It was the last week of Summer when we met a grandma on the playground who told us about this neat little watering hole she liked to take her kids to when they were little and still brings her granddaughter. It sounded like a great adventure to us, so we made sure to fit this visit in before Summer came to a close. Now, I don't think we played where she intended us too, as there is a nice swimming area that has easy access, but our family has an adventurous spirit and we wandered downstream to … [Read more...]
