Trials And Tribulations

Rock Band

After Nate was seriously neglected during our 8 hour stint of playing Rock Band with Helen and Joe, we decided to let him in on a bit of the fun.

Rock Band Slowly Takes Over Our Lives

Attack Of The Ducks

Nate and I enjoyed the close encounters with the friendly ducks of Stratford. He giggled the entire time.

Lulu

I had a total crush on Neil's ex-cat, Lulu, while we were in Stratford, which is strange since I generally only like my own cats. If it were not for the 16 hour drive home, I would have stolen her.

Music Man

Nathaniel was in love with the guitars and even had his very own little one to strum while he was there.

Clan Aitken

On Saturday, there was a little get together of the extended Aitken family and friends. A good time was had by all it was nice to see everyone again and to meet a few new faces.

Grandad's Workshop

Bill is a very accomplished craftsman making violins, mandolins and guitars-Nathaniel was quite intrigued!

We started our trip off with an overnight stay in Montreal. Our hotel was downtown and we had lots of fun cruising St. Catherine's Street. The next morning we headed off to Toronto to spend a few nights with Lee, Erinn and Henry. We had a great time watching the boys play, cry and beat each other up and we were treated to a wonderful meal prepared by Lee and Erinn. Lee almost had me convinced that red wine could be enjoyable...but I am still not quite there.

We were so excited to give the boys a bath together...let's just say it turned out to be less than idyllic. Yes, that's the four of us screeching our heads off laughing in the background. Might I add there was absolutely no reason for this outburst.

They have a great spot right on the lake complete with a park and a water park in their back yard that Nate especially enjoyed after being cooped up in the car all day.
