On a very rainy day we went by ferry to cousin Kristian's wedding on Toronto Island. Here's how the skyline looks with the CN tower on a misty day. The rain did let up and we managed a family photo though we had to catch the bride and groom separately. 
Every morning at 9 am we go to swim lessons. Here's what Kiefer did the first day. On day two, with Oona standing by, Kiefer carefully, slowly climbed down to his class. Oona starts her class a half hour later and was bumped up to yet a higher level with older kids. But the best part is eating ice cream and simply playing with the backyard hose. S and A are now in NYC after a day and evening of rest in Portland.
Here's What Kiefer and Allan did for three hours, while Oona played in the water with the inflatable Orcas. This Red Robin - with 2 berries in it's beak-turned its head form side to side and posed for 6 pictures.
And they're off at 7am and phoned at 5pm from a "jump in Lake Placid USA swim" that was richly deserved after the leather gear in this heat wave. Meanwhile we went sliding and diving in our friends pool where we played with our kids more than 30 years ago.
Sophie definately had the best hair day for Sonja's lobster birthday party. Oona decorated cupcakes par excellance, hid the birthday cards in a secret spot so we could not find them, and Kiefer was a gentleman and allowed Sophie her turn in the car. Very hot!!!
We have a baby sitter called "car". Kiefer will sit all day in any car and push buttons. This very early morning he woke up the heighbours beeping the horn of the big car.
