Our summer: Part 1

Our summer started off with a bang!  Our May/June months were crazy: soccer 4 nights/week, plus all the prep we did to get our house ready to sell, we worked many late nights painting, cleaning, decluttering, oh my, just remembering it makes me tired.  But finally by the end of June, our house was cleaned, and staged ready for the open house, it looked so good we almost reconsidered selling, ALMOST!  We finished up and headed for the lake for a couple days to recoop and relax.  Then we drove home (and stopped in to see a cute new baby girl:  Jillian Patricia, born June 24th to Trish and Jacob)  That night we flew to TORONTO!! What an exciting way to start summer holidays!

Poor Jayme had a bit of air-sickness, but all in all we enjoyed the flight.  It was so good to have so much family on the plane with us!  When we landed all Nicole kept saying is: "I can't believe we're here, I can't believe we're finally here!"

We had a super duper amazing time staying at the always wonderful Chateau Paradise, with the two most amazing hosts in the world.  We enjoyed a beautiful wedding and had such a great time with our Letkeman family.  

The kids looked so cute in their wedding duds, and Jayme happily wore a skirt (I know miracle!)  They danced the night away at the reception.  They had a blast with their big cousins and aunts and uncles.  In fact just today they were reminiscing about the wedding and were talking about all the songs.  Brady wished there was a CD from the reception!

They had fun taking turns riding in the "short bus"

All in all it was a great vacation!!  Jayme says it will be a long time before she will fly again, but they are keen to drive to Toronto again very soon, I'm not sure how keen Mark and I are on that 24 hour drive, but we'll see!
