Yesterday we had our annual summer BBQ and we also celebrated the 2nd anniversary of Twisted Sticker.
Last week, the EX (CNE - Canadian National Exhibition) opened in Toronto and that is basically, the unofficial countdown to the end of summer.
How was the summer of '09? Work wise - busy as snot! Family wise - didn't do much or go anywhere exciting.
However, I think the kids a good time. My son spent a few weeks at a BMX camp. He hates any kind of camp but at least this was fun for him. My daughter on the other hand spent a couple weeks at a day camp and she was fortunate enough to have classmates in her group both weeks.
We would have loved to have gone to Wasaga Beach to my aunt's cottage & to see my parents but there just weren't enough weekends this year. Maybe after the kids go back to school. The beaches are deserted and the weather & water is still nice in September.
We also need to start weening the kids off summer hours. Typically, they are up until 10 or so and I know if we don't start now, it'll just be a nightmare trying to get them in a new routine the first week of school.
Back to school good news - my son knows who his teacher will be and knows he's in the same class with three buddies and no baddies! Jake can tend to be anxious and every year at the end of summer, we run into issues of the unkown. Who will be in my class? Who will my teacher be? etc. Through reliable sources we have those answers so it's one less worry for everyone. As for my daughter, she doesn't give a crap. She has tons of friends and makes friends effortlessly that it's never a concern/issue for her.
Now...what's the picture above you ask? It appears to be the ONLY photo taken at our BBQ yesterday! Summer Memories!
