We're back in Ontario

Here we are having brunch somewhere in the States on our way home from Cape Hatteras...

Oh, I miss the beach. We left Hatteras Island very early Sunday morning, Oct 5th, arrived back home just past midnight, Oct 6th. It was a pretty busy week, catching up etc, but then we had a fantastic weekend to look forward to. I decided not to cook a turkey, since it was going to be so nice, weather wise. We had lots of bbq's.

Zoe had 2 cakes ordered this week, a wedding cake and a birthday cake. Her business is really taking off!

The first cake is the wedding cake she did in September, the next one was for a birthday on Saturday, and the last one was for a wedding on Saturday:

Isn't she brilliant...and she's sweet and beautiful too:)

Saturday after all her hard work, she went to Canada's Wonderland for the day with her 2 older brothers, Zac and Gabe. It was the first time they went on Behemoth. I love that roller coaster, and I really would have loved to go to Wonderland, but I stayed with the rest of the family, and we all went apple picking somewhere west of Collingwood. It was exciting, but not quite as exciting as heading head first down a 70 metre drop at 125 km/hr at a 75 degree angle! 1620.0 metres of ride! Wow! I could go on that roller coaster over and over again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8KfQG82NSk Shayne, Jonathan, Nekoda and I went to Wonderland earlier in the summer, what a blast! I guess my second favorite ride is "Flight Deck" formerly known as Top Gun, then next, probably "The Great Canadian Mine Buster"

Apple picking day:

Sunday our family went to Big Chute, a marine railway. http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/on/trentsevern/visit/lock44_e.asp It was another warm and sunny day. The railway takes boats from the Trent Severn to Georgian Bay, lifting them out of the water and over the road. It's really quite cool. Later we had a picnic at Six Mile Beach, and we actually had a bit of a swim. The water was really cold, but the air was nice and hot. Today we met up with friends at Springwater Provincial Park, the kids played in the playground and played frisbee, and we all chatted. Tomorrow is back to school, but it's a nice short week! 4 days, then it's the weekend again.

and here's PJ, known as Lightening McQueen, looking very cool...
