It's beginning to feel a lot like...summer!

Last week Friday Colin participated in a fundraising golf tournament for Campfire. He loves golfing and what better way to spend a day than teeing off for a good cause. He was gone for most of the day and evening, so the kids and I headed to Grandpa and Grandma B's for supper and a campfire. They have quite a large backyard for their condo unit and even includes a firepit. It doesn't get used very often but with grandchildren living nearby, it's a good reason to fire it up!

Today was extremely hot! At one point, our cheap thermometer said it was over 40 degrees celsius - close to boiling :) Our house, though not air conditioned, manages to stay quite cool with everything closed up. The kids like to be outside no matter the temperature and so today, called for the sprinkler to come out to cool off.

The water fight!

While the kids were in the sprinkler, I was chopping up fresh rhubarb for dessert. I cooked the rhubarb and then added strawberry jello to make a nice sauce to go over ice cream. Yummy!
