August Long Weekend

Had a wonderful long weekend.  We spent Friday & Saturday at Anne & Al's cottage in the county.  Went to Sandbanks Provincial Park on Saturday, it was quite busy.  The waves were great but it was not particularly hot and it was too windy for the umbrellas, hence sitting in the shade.

Upon leaving the beach, Lizzy announced that we had to find a chip wagon.  She was in the mood for chips which made us all hungry.  Not too far up the road we found a fabulous chip wagon called Urban Herb on the Curb.  They had seasoned fries and sweet potato fries which were delicious.  The chips were served up with mayonnaise sauces, even a horse radish one!  Well worth the stop!

There was also a movie marathon of Harry Potter.  We almost made it to the end of #6.  I think I will have to go and buy the set.  Everyone really enjoyed watching the movies.

But unfortunately on Saturday, something broke in the septic tank.  The neighbour came over and told Al.  Anne and Al spent all day fixing the problem.  But they were all cleaned up by the time we came back from the beach.

Hugh, the boys and I headed back to Toronto on Sunday.  Detta stayed with Anne, Al and the girls till Tuesday.  She had a great time going out for Thai food, kayaking and shopping.  We spent the rest of the weekend just lying around and relaxing.
