We've spent the last week in Tobermory up at my mom's place. Finally we were able to bring Matt with us during a good time for some outdoor fun. We got there on Sunday night and headed into town on Monday morning. Bought some groceries and then visited my uncle at the Blue Heron docks when his boat came in. After that we headed to the lighthouse and Drew jumped into the water a few times. This place is really cool (literally as well as figuratively) and you can jump off the rocks into 64 feet of water and swim two feet and be in 3 feet of water. Drew was the only one properly attired to jump in water at the time though.
After that we headed back to mom's to get ready to go to the beach. We were pretty thrilled to find a gorgeous set of sheets at the second hand shop, a huge improvement over sleeping on top of a top sheet that keeps sliding off while you're sleeping. We headed over to Singing Sands beach for the rest of the day. Now if you've never been there, you really should go. This place has a beach that is soooooo long, followed by water that you can walk out for over half an hour and still only be up to your bellybutton, so it's great for kids.
We hiked around the trails there and I showed Matt the Insectivorous plants and the best part was that there were almost no bugs.
see the frog?
I love the wildflowers up there!
I love that they have signs like this...
we actually did see a dead snake on the road, as well as three milksnakes and a garter snake while we were there. Thankfully we did not see any rattlesnakes.
Andrew spent his lawn mowing money on a nerf gun, so they were doing this a lot...

Joey had a feild trip this morning (hence the early trip to the mall.. had to hit the bank for 3$) we went to the great canadian superstore.. I had planned on seeing if I could come along so waited around to hand the money to the teacher and ask her.. but before I asked her she asked me if I was coming..

BCZ.. man there are things I WISH I could say... you know who you are.. and your opinion of me is shit.. and you'd think family would be more supportive.. but I guess you don't consider me as much family as I consider you... whatever.. no biggie.. no huge loss to me.. I got my hours increased at work.. starting next week.. doubling my shifts.. so I'll be working a lot more.. and making a lot more money.. here's a little thing for all of you questioning if I can afford another kid...
