Family Time Outdoors

This summer we were able to take advantage of the hot, dry weather by being outdoors. We explored parks and lakes. We exercised. We visited landmarks. We did chores and enjoyed the company in the outside, just because we could! One of the blessings of a Canadian summer is being able to be out-of-doors without smog, monsoons, sand storms, humidity, or malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Over the years we have come to appreciate this more and more.
