We drove to Toronto on Tuesday. It was a nice drive. We did not have any trouble crossing the border. We met up with Jared and his family at the hotel. The kids were able to swim before we headed to the GO train and headed to Toronto. We had dinner near the stadium. We had good seats in the upper deck for the game. This was my 37th major league stadium I have visited.
On the way home we all stopped at Niagara Falls. Then on to the Anchor Bar for lunch. It was a good lunch at the home of the original chicken wings. Again, the drive home was good. We had dinner at T's parents. We finally arrived home about 10pm. All in all, it was a fun trip.
Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. Home of the original chicken wings. We stopped for lunch on our way back from Toronto.
The whole group at Niagara Falls.

Rogers Centre in Toronto.

The kids enjoyed the pool before we headed to the game.

Another week, another week spent at Atwood. We went down on Saturday morning and met up with my sister and her family. We did some tubing and swimming. Teresa had to leave us early to head to work, but the rest of us stayed. We watched AEP change a transformer on a pole near the camper. Sunday was more of the same. This morning my mom called and said she and my niece were coming down for some boating. We boated over the 'other' marina for some ice cream and a stop at boater's beach. If it is Monday, it is golf Monday. Please alright. Not super happy with my score. It could have been better if I would have sank some easy putts.

HOT! HOT! HOT!

Another week and another week of beautiful weather. The family swam a couple of days at my parent's pool. The temperatures were near 90 or above all week. The kids had Bible School this week.
We went to Atwood last night and tonight. We will head back there tomorrow and stay through Monday.
Tonight we headed to Teresa's cousin's little boy's birthday party. It was a nice night for a get together.
I went and golfed on Thursday. I played the 'silver' tees. My league plays the 'white' tees. I still shot a good score. I think it was in the mid-80s.

I think that puts you up to date.

We have been enjoying the nice weather here. Mom's pool got into the 90's. Some say that might be too warm, but I say it is just fine. We didn't go down to the camper last weekend til Sunday night for one night. I went to Michigan for the Keib Golf Outing. I was placed on a team again this year and we shot a +4. The winning team was a bunch of ringers that called in the day before to golf. They were -14. It was tough to get into rhythm because it took nearly 5 hours and 45 minutes to play the outing. We were waiting on every shot.
I got home about 2am Sunday morning. T had to work and the kids and I went to my niece's birthday party. After the party we went to the camper for the night. We made it out to boater's beach in time for a nice swim. I took the XM radio with us and listens to Jimmy Buffett's concert from the coast. Monday morning was rainy so, we packed up and headed home. I finally got to golf on a Monday for the first time in awhile. It was a scramble night and our team went -3. I actually played pretty well both on Saturday and Monday.
Tuesday we took the boat out and filled it was gas. The price at the marina is $4.19 a gallon. It is worth the time to take it out and fill it at Giant Eagle. We were able to fill the boat for free using our Giant Eagle gas points. We were able to save $75.
There is your update for now.

Friday: We made it down to the camper in time to set up and relax for a little bit. B had a parade in New Philly. Then back to the camper. It was chilly sitting outside.

Saturday. The Lyons came down to visit. Once they arrived we loaded up the boat and headed out on the lake. I took them on the tour of the lake. Then we did some tubing. Lunch was served at Boater's beach. We tubed some more on the way back to the dock. They brought down some great food for dinner...chicken, pasta, fruit, etc...

Sunday. HAPPY 4th of July. We did not have a parade to attend, so we went out on the lake. We end up spending over 10 hours on the lake. We watched the fireworks from Boater's Beach. The cruise back to the dock was not as bad I thought it would be. Everyone got some sun, by sun, I mean...sunburn. The high temp for the day was 90+

Monday. B had a parade in North Canton. MEMO to N. Canton, if you are going to have a Fourth of July parade have it on the 4th!!! The parade had only 22 units in it. B was 18. It was a total waste of time for us to drive from the lake for it. Anyways, when we returned to the lake, we headed back out. We swam with some new friends we met. We tied up the boats together and had a fun time. It was another hot day, 90+ again.

Ok, you are up to date. Pictures to come.
