Mississauga Trip (July 16-21)

We finally made the trip to Mississauga to visit very dear friends of ours and introduce them to Mister.  We spend the first night in a hotel (Mister's first hotel experience) and then we were able to stay at their parents' home while their parents were out of town. 

It was the hottest week of the summer!  Highs of 45C!  We spent most of our time indoors where there was AC and only ventured out in the late afternoons and evenings when we visited their parent's place and swam in their pool.  Once again, Mister loved his time in the water...he was in the pool of over an hour each day.

In the middle of the week we met up with my hubby's sister and had lunch together.  It was really nice to see her and have Mister spend time with his aunt!

It was wonderful to get to spend a good chunk of time with our friends and long overdue.

Manitoulin Island Trip

On Sunday, Mister and I drove to Manitoulin Island to spend a couple of days with Grandma.  She was staying at a trailer in Stanley Park on Lake Mindemoya.  When we got there in the afternoon, it was so nice we went to the beach and got Grandma in the water for the first time all summer.  Mister loved splashing in the lake!  We visited an old camp friend of mine and her 5mth old son.

Monday was rainy and we visited friends in Providence Bay and then returned to the trailer park and visited more old camp friends of ours.

Tuesday morning, Mister woke up at 5:30am scratching like crazy...I had no cream but we found some vaseline and it helped and he slept until 9:30am!  We went to visit a dear friend of ours at Kickin' Mule Ranch (great place for trail rides!) and introduced her to Mister. Mister got to see horses, ponies, chickens, bunnies and alpacas; and even got to have his very first pony ride!  Then we went to Batman's trailer park and visited another dear friend for lunch.  From there, Mister and I headed home in the late afternoon, just in time for his afternoon nap and he slept most of the way home!

Cousin's Birthday Party

We all traveled to North Bay for the day to celebrate Mister's cousin's birthday.  There were lots of family members and friends there and we had a bonfire in the backyard where we roasted hot dogs for lunch.  There was a delicious birthday cake and lots of presents!  It was a really nice day all together and we got to see my brother's new home (it's awesome!).

Day-Trip to North Bay

Mister and I drove to North Bay to meet a friend's family and spend the day with them at their home on Greening Bay.  We visited, napped and then the sun came out and we got to spend some time on the beach and in the water.  Mister loves the water and it was really neat for him to kick up the sand with his feet.  We had a delicious dinner and then we had to say goodbye.  He slept most of the way there and most of the way home.  He is such a great baby to travel with!
