delawana

it's our 2nd vacation here:
(we were supposed to stay 4 nights this time but we took off early to make it home in time for pepper's HS orientation)
beach time with new inflatables... making a splash at the diving contest.... playing tennis for the first time.... dance competitions in the pool...

nature programs, campfires, climbing, fishing - and of course overdoing it with the food...


and every single one of these photos came from rob's phone.  yup, forgot our camera.  AGAIN!

another season over

more (not-from-me) shots

here is pepper playing with the babies at chris & philomena's annual ribfest (no winner here this year), a lunch date at boston pizza, and ...is it zombie hands...?
no, it's decorating a gingerbread house in the heat of summer :)

forgetting my camera...or...

...forgetting to actually use it
we've had such a busy summer - filled with weekly soccer and drumming, 5 types of camps, trips to places like the CNE, wasaga beach, whitby, stratford, and an amazing trampoline park... 
bur RARELYdoes my camera get used!  here's a paltry sample:

fierce took a 4 week pottery class and made some lovely things -

these are just a few - he also made a piggy bank, a functioning clock, and some sort of doorstopper

we made beeswax candles at an 1812 event on nancy island - pepper's is the really crooked one (her design), bosco did a copy-cat, and fierce refused to light/burn his.  ever :)
