Thanksgiving - Cont'd

Leslie's Second Half-Marathon, Toronto Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon

September 28th, 2008

I went, I ran....it was a tough race. I had no running partner that day and I was feeling a bit under the weather, but I still beat my previous time. I managed to come in six minutes earlier with a chip time of 2:02.

What's next? Orienteering race on October 18th.
Next year - adventure race and maybe a triathalon?

The Windsurfing Duo!

September 7th, 2008

It was a windy day on Buck Lake. Enough wind for a good windsurfing run is rare, so Tom got out the board and the sail and got out on the lake before the wind died down. Rein hopped on board and enjoyed his job as his dad's windsurfing sidekick (or ballast).

They were out there for a good half hour dancing in the wind and water back and forth across the lake.

September 6th, 2008 - The Kingston Fall Fair

It is becoming a yearly tradition...

We spend oodles of money on ride tickets, soft ice cream and carnival fare.

The highlights are the rides, of course, the petting zoo and the chicken barn. The kids meet the fanciest and funniest looking breeds of chickens and roosters - Rein and Silka visit each cage and squeal with laughter as their occupants strut around showing off their ridiculous yet majestic plumes.

AND, like any other fair, we enjoy the best people watching and the "carnies" are always entertaining.

Rein's First Day at School - Senior Kindergarten

He barely stopped to give his mother a kiss - He was so excited for his first day back at school.

There wasn't much to report. I guess school is 'old hat' for him now.

He's growing up so fast......

Happy SK, Rein!
