Maelie and I are leaving mid-afternoon today and are scheduled to arrive in PEI mid-afternoon tomorrow.....

Water Balloon Fight!

I surprised Maelie and Tristan with a bucket filled with water balloons. I don't do this often because filling those little suckers is really long but destroying them is super quick!!



They had fun running around the car trying to attack each other.



Nothing says summer like water balloon fight!



She ran out of ammo and had to run back and refill.... speeding bullet!

Buskerfest... we are back!

Yesterday was the opening night for Buskerfest. We saw AMAZING talent.

We saw a couple from last year, Jacob and Sophie from Dream State Circus. They were splendid! It was really a "you had to be there" moment at one point. As they were dipping their torches in gas, Jacob jokingly poured the gas around Tristan. Then he told Tristan to move out of the gas surrounding him. So Tristan scooted over, but Maelie moved right into the spot ! LOL



Jacob found that funny as did the crowd, and he then offered Maelie a lollipop which was actually a sword. She said yes! The crowd laughed some more and Maelie was ecstatic!



After this show we went to watch Flame Oz. We had never seen them before, but who doesn't like a fire show?? This surpassed my expectations! WOW!

On some pictures all we see are their reflective outfits.



Can you imagine this picture in real life? It was action packed and exciting to say the least!



Maelie of course got her usual picture with 2 of the performers. The guy holding her was the main one doing the talking. The group is from Australia. Needless to say I would have listened to that accent all day and night!



Buskerfest was just starting today, so I suggest to anyone in the area to get out there and see some of the shows! They are AWESOME!! Of course we stayed out way too late... but it was well worth it :)

lovely company

This weekend we were blessed with a visit from my aunt Helene and Yvon. It rained horribly on Friday, however on Saturday it was a wonderful, miraculous day of mainly sun! We had one brief downpour at the end of the afternoon, but we had completed our adventures of the day... or almost!

This morning we packed up an headed out to the Byward Market, then to Dow's Lake and then to the Experimental Farm. We had the luxury of being chauffered in a convertible!



Maelie didn't like it that much because "the wind!", "the sun!" , "it's too hot!", etc etc etc... so I am glad I do not have the pressure of her wanting a convertible at this point.



Here are a few pictures of our adventures.






As it turns out now, our guests are gone for a visit to the casino, Maelie is playing pretend with her friend, and I am half dead ready to go to sleep! ha!

oxymoron?

A "no boys" allowed sign and "my daughter" is an oxymoron.



Maelie made this sign at Jacinthe's house the other day, however what is strange is that she practically ONLY plays with boys. A prerequisite to her being your friend is that you be MALE. I am not sure if this is a phase ... if it is, it's a long one.

my standards

My standards are not as high as many people I know...

but my kitchen is spiffy clean according to MY standards! It won't last, so I thought I would take a picture!

beach night

Last night we had a BBQ at the beach.





The kids played, swam, ate, hunted for bugs, fish and frogs, and all in all had a very busy good time. Us grown ups sat and enjoyed each other's company.



Here is the beautiful sand castle before:
