Weekend Recap

This weekend we attended Q's last t-ball tournament.  This time we were headed to Dundas, which is in the Hamilton area.  We had to take two cars so Dave and Q went to the field while E and I went to the hotel to check in and then get some dinner.  McDonalds had these little paper hats and E made me put it on. 

I didn't take any photos at the first game, it was a pretty easy win.  Q had a triple.

When we got back to the hotel there was a bunny and E was trying to make friends with it.

Q and I were up the earliest the next day and went downstairs for the breakfast.  The hotel had a nice little patio so we ate out there. 

Our first game wasn't until 1:00 so there was lots of time for the kids to swim, and we could grab some lunch before the game. 

Then time to warm up.

The 1:00 game was also a fairly easy win.  We went over to Shawn and Ed Brewing Co for some food and a break.  We found this gem at last year's tournament and it was another hit.

The second game of the day ended in a loss unfortunately.  We had a team dinner booked at Turtle Jack's across from the hotel.  And we continued the parent party in the lobby after we got back.  Way too much wine was consumed by some of us and the next morning was a little rough.

There were two games that day - the playoff at 12:00 and then after we won that, the championship game at 4:00.   E and I had to leave at 12:30 so he could go to overnight camp.  We were sad to be leaving and missing out on the last two games.

My dad was in town and we got a quick photo with E before he left.

Ready for his week. The last week of the summer at camp is for just teenagers. 

E in his bunk.  However, he ended up switching cabins to be with his buddy. And they did that after I left, so I don't actually know what his bunk looks like.  But I think it worked out better to be with his friend.  It was me that forgot to put in the cabin mate request (oops!).

I stopped in at Rosseau Pizzeria to get a pizza to eat in the car on the way home.  This is a beautiful location and I can't wait to eat here someday.

Meanwhile the t-ball tournament was wrapping up.

Q got player of the game and was bestowed the racoon hat and tail (because we are the Trash Pandas).

After being on the road for several hours to get to camp and back, I was happy to be home!  Summer is wrapping up, that is for sure.

 Happy Friday!  If you've been stopping by most days looking for a post, I apologize, I have not been posting much over the past couple of weeks. As we get into these waning days of summer I haven't felt like doing many posts, other than recapping our weekends and weeks, but stick with me I'll be back in a routine soon.

Q was at golf camp this week at the club.  He loved it!

It's only a half day camp so Q had the afternoons to hang out at home. On Monday he made this fort in the TV room.

Hey there!

I golfed on Monday night and sat on the patio so long there were only a few cars left in the parking lot when I went home!

I was also at the golf course on Tuesday so I could take E for his round and pick up Q so I spent some time working on the patio.  E is out there on #10.

Q and I stopped into the book store this week and picked up a few new books.  The Cat on the Run book is by the sam author that does Bad Guys.

I had to go downtown on Wednesday for a meeting.  I always try to see my city through the eyes of a tourist to appreciate different views.  Can you see the CN Tower in the distance?

Back at the golf course on Wednesday afternoon.  Dave brought the kids with him when he went for his mens' night round and I joined them afterwork.  We did some chipping and then had to get dinner!

We are so fortunate!

We spotted Dave coming up 18.

If you're keeping up, the theme of this post is golf.  I went to the last Ladies Night on Thursday.  We had these adorable drink tickets for our patio pizza party.

Best view!

We have one week left before school is back in session.  We have one last t-ball tournament this weekend, E is off to overnight camp, and the weather still looks pretty good! We will be soaking it all in.

Weekend Recap

We woke up to a beautiful day on Friday.  I went for my weekly run and then walked Q to camp.  The Humber River is always a pretty view.

When I picked him up at the end of the day they were doing their closing ceremony so I sat with him for a few minutes. 

Then I went to the golf course to meet my friend for 9 holes.  Our husbands were golfing 18 together so we coordinated so we could finish up our 9 holes at roughly the same time. I had a pretty good round! And of course the patio at the end of the night was the best part. 

On Saturday morning I took the opportunity to go to Home Sense. I was cleaning our bathroom and was fed up with the mat we had in front of the sink.  I found a new mat, some pillows for the couch, a fake plant, and a blue glass vase for the mantle. Success!

Then we chilled out for the afternoon before heading back to the golf course.  My dad was in town so we did 18 holes.  Dave and Q did 9 and met up with us afterwards for dinner on the patio.

E enjoying his snack on the 8th hole while we waited to tee off.

Sunday was a hot humid day, punctuated by passing rainstorms.  Q had a t-ball practice, followed by a game.  

And then we watched the Blue Jays and K Pop Demon Hunters to close out our day.  Highly recommend the K Pop movie, I was skeptical but then charmed.

Happy Friday!  We are soaking up every bit of summer we can, with only two weeks left (eek!) before the kids go back to school, there is still a lot of fun to be had. 

On Monday after work I decided we should bike to High Park for a swim, get some dinner from the concession stand, and watch some of Q's friends play t-ball. It was a beautiful night by the pool.

Waiting for our food.

Q got in a few nights of batting practice in the backyard.  

On Tuesday I took E to the golf course so he could do some practicing.  I set up my laptop on the patio to do some work.  Not a bad office space. 

And then we just had to have some lunch before going home. 

After having lunch at the club, I wanted something lighter for dinner.  I put this together with things I had in the cupboard and fridge - chick peas, lentils, artichokes, cucumber, tomatoes, greens, citrus salad dressing and topped with pita chips.  

The kids made mini-pizzas, along with E's friend. 

Q had some friends come home with him after camp on Wednesday.

I made strawberry shortcake for dessert this week. Tea biscuits made from scratch and fresh Ontario strawberries.  It was delicious.

E golfed in the Scarlett Woods City Championships this week.  He was in a foursome with his buddies and had a nice day out.

I posted on Monday about ways I take a break with naps being at the top of that list.  I didn’t realize this was so novel, as many people commented they can’t have naps, so I feel very fortunate that I have this skill of taking short beneficial naps :)

I golfed last night at the second last Ladies Night of the summer. I even scored some Stableford points for our team and won some golf balls in the raffle! Go me! :)
