Another Glorious Cottage Weekend.




Not the best weather, but the best feeling... being out of the city i mean, early on a Friday afternoon. In this case, on my own with a head start on the bunkie work. After several hours of caulking the bunkie and shed, they are finally ready to take stain. Had a beautiful night, some light rain but a nice sunset in the end and full sky of stars. Several beers later i experimented with shutter speeds and the timer on my camera. Alex and Hailey hit the road at the crack of seven Saturday morning and made it up mid-morning. While Toronto was drowned in rain, we had a gorgeous day and managed to get the shed completely stained before the weather turned. We headed to Kinmount to the theatre there. It is an old converted house with several movie theatres and dozens of old movie projectors and movie props- its pretty cool. We saw G-Force. Hailey liked it, well maybe it was the popcorn and junk food. We managed the get the bunkie stained on Sunday before the heavy rain came and chased us home. Hailey and I managed to get some good swimming in late morning. She is loving the lake. We are on vacation at the cottage for the next week and i wanted to get a post up before leaving. I am hoping to get a bunch of pics up after our vacation. Anybody that knows me, knows that i will probably shoot a few hundreds pics on our vacation. There is a Smash Up Derby at the Town Fair by the cottage this weekend and Hailey was really bummed that she missed it last year. We have been talking about it all week. She is pumped.

Halloween at Daycare.



It is Halloween today at Leroux. Hailey was very excited last night and we got out all of her costumes. Her first choice was a ladybug, but we talked her out of that heavy fall costume in favour of a light summer costume. This morning over breakfast she was deciding whether she is Pocahontas or Tinker Bell. Her teachers thought she looked like a butterfly. Either way is cute. There is a parade later.
