The way to the Park

We had decided to meet half way between Ottawa and Montreal for Father's Day. We arrived at about 11:30 am and waited for the Grier Grandparents and the Prices to arrive. It was such an amazing day. Allen and I brought some fruit, a pesto salad and some coffee for afterwards. The others brought a smorgasbord and an inflatable alligator. The water was warm, refreshing and lovely. Awesome day of discussion, family fun, love and summer.

ANNOUNCEMENTS!!! ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!

Harriet full on belly laughed for the first time today! Charlotte went to the potty properly for the first time with a pee, a poo, a toilet paper clean, toilet flush and handswash - Without being asked! Totally initiated by her. I know, I know. One day they will look back at this blog and say "Mom, you are so embarrassing!"

We were brought to the largest cemetery in Canada for business (no impeding burials, just job hunting) and were captured by its beauty, solemnity, solitude and history. We spent the better part of the afternoon going to different areas. There were war sites, ones dedicated specifically to deaf mutes and also a lot of Catholic plots covered with ornaments, pictures, rosaries, candles and flowers. It was interesting to imagine the lives of the people that now live underground. And although we are not religious, we could not ignore the emotion that emanates from the plots, the surroundings and the people that were there mourning.
