Weekend Recap

 Our summer weekends are running out but we made sure get the most out of this one.  We hosted a few people for drinks and dinner on Friday night. 

We did get to enjoy the outside for the first part of the evening. As we were going back out with our dinner plates, it started raining, so we ate inside instead.

We match!

Our friends that were staying with us were leaving on Saturday morning. So nice to see them!

Dave was golfing in the morning but when he returned we headed downtown for a little adventure.  I say this all the time, people come to Toronto as tourists and we get to live here.  We don't always get to enjoy all parts of our city, so I thought we should walk along the waterfront. I bike on this route all the time but never get to stop and explore.  We took the subway to Union and then headed west on the streetcar and exited at the bottom of Spadina.

There is a statue of Terry Fox.

And these art installations line up to form a silhouette of Terry running, it was so neat!

Q got his finger jammed so he's wincing here, but he was fine shortly thereafter.

The Music Garden is so pretty! I didn't really know it was down there. 

We stopped in at Amsterdam Brewhouse for a mid-afternoon meal.  Amsterdam is always reliable; I often recommend it to people.

This monarch was hanging out.

Then we continued on our walk.

The Love Park is situated where the York Gardiner ramp used to be. It's a nice space now.

We got home before the rain, which is good because it really came down!! We got so much rain the rivers and highways flooded again, and the golf course was closed the next day and is still recovering days later.

I tried to photograph the rain but I'm sure you really can't see how much water was out there. 

We got Q to bed early and the rest of watched The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. It was really good!

Q had a t-ball game on Sunday morning, it was a hot one!! E and I found some shade (and some french fries!).

Post-game meeting.

We seized the opportunity to do a patio lunch on our way home. An Aperol Spritz on a hot day will never get old to me!

The rest of the afternoon called for Blue Jays, groceries, naps, and some crib.  The kids went to bed at a good time and Dave and I watched the new Matt Damon/Casey Affleck movie on Apple TV.  It was cute!
