Most Canadians celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday weekend by going camping or to the cottage. The weather has normally been less than perfect, with rain and coldness. This year, the week before the long weekend, we had 9 hours of sunlight when we normally get 55 hours... Needless to say, when the sun peeked out Friday night it was party time on the street! My friend and her daughter came up to visit on Friday night and we played outside until the street lights came on....all the neighbourhood kids were out, playing basketball, rollerblading, scooting, bike riding and paying. The boy was wiped out!

Saturday was another gorgeous day, where we got the turtle pool out for water play.....had bbq's and just hung out outside.....I got a burn!

Sunday started out rainy but quickly cleared up and out came the BBQ for lunch.....then rain soothed us into a nice nap....and when we a woke, it was sunny again! We invited friends for dinner and had a great night....now today, we are going to visit Nonno, to celebrate Zio's graduation from his apprenticeship.....and it's looking nice out already....until reality sets in and I have to go to work tomorrow!
