Road Trip

The road trip begins with a stop at Katherine and John Burns' home to visit with Leah and 'Mr. Snake'. Apparently this snake only comes out of his hole when Konrad is around. Snakes are supposed to have great smell so perhaps my son has a very distinctive and strong scent. Good times, anyhow. Good times.








Second stop was the Chaggares' new home in Newmarket. It was wonderful to visit with Rob and Jen - and the kids played really well together. The ice cream truck hit the jackpot when it found this street!









This is the mid-point in the ice-cream eating/body painting. Noah and Anders have only begun.











Anders is diving for more.













I think he's done for. Can he get up? I'm sure the ice cream was worth every stomach cramp.

So, that's it for now. Our road trip did not end here but I haven't anymore photos. We did go to Hamilton to visit Lisa and Ken's new home. There was a sizeable gathering of McCartney folk there for a bbq - the Laughlin clan, Ken and Wendy, myself and the kids were all there.





Then on to T.O. where I hooked up with Morticia and Chris for lunch. I'm cheating - this picture was not taken on the road trip. This is a picture from Peter Mills' wedding. That was the first time I had met Chris. The road trip was the second time I met Chris. Unfortunately, I could not attend their wedding as I was about to birth a boy named Anders.

We also had a nice visit with Cairine. We hung out in her hot apartment, went for walks in the rain and had fabulous sushi around the corner from her home. After all that visiting, we hung out with the grandparents for a day, headed back to Rob and Jen's for another night. Jen and I tried to go yard-saling in Newmarket but apparently no one in Newmarket wants to sell junk. The entire city was devoid of yard sales. Sad. Then, I trudged onward to ... my parents house maybe. Honestly, I can't remember if I did. I probably did - just to give the kids a break from the car. Eventually, we came home after a crazy week. Upon my arrival, Laura was in the driveway waiting for me to come home so she could stay for a couple days. I love summer.
