Funstorm & Adventure Days

This past weekend, we were busy entertaining family and friends. My uncle, aunt, cousin, Emma's Friend, and Paul came over for a gathering we later titled the "Funstorm" - after a comment a relative made when my mom's status read "It's Family Time!" that morning. The name was very appropriate - due to the erratic weather and amounts of fun we had! We had a delicious feast, despite the torrential downpour my dad ended up barbecuing in, followed by a game of Rummoli and a movie. The Funstorm was followed by an excellent Sunday breakfast, and a short visit before I headed off to work.

Monday saw a quick game of beach bocci ball before Emma's friend Brenda headed home. Then, we packed a picnic lunch and headed to Red Bay with the dogs. The wind was strong and the waves big! It was a little too chilly for a full swim, but that didn't stop the dogs from splashing around! On our way back, we stopped at Sauble Falls and explored - both in the falls and with our cameras. When we got home, both the dogs and us were absolutely exhausted!

Tuesday Morning started early with a trip to Chantry Island with Emma and Paul. It was a very informative and fun adventure! In the afternoon, the fam and I went back to Sauble Beach to get some paddle boating in. It was a gorgeous day and we even saw some waterlilies along the river! The day ended with some ice cream by the lake and four very tired but happy people.

I'm currently in the process of packing my things up to head back to school in the next couple of weeks. The summer has flown by once again and I can't believe it! The number of visitors at work is slowly dwindling down each day and the temperature is cooling down. I am very excited to see what the fall has in store for me!
