It was beautiful weather and I must say, I genuinely miss the beauty of Bruce County; rolling hills, streams and rivers, so many trees and pastures, lakes and sandy beaches...it is really gorgeous over there.
Eric and I went out on Saturday night to the beach in Southampton to see the stars "Why are you going to there?!" relatives asked, all born and raised is area, "just to be there! We want to see the stars!"
We definitely took for granted the landscape of the Bruce, having lived within 15 minutes of a lake for all of Eric's life and 12 years of my life, I can count on one hand the amount of times we actually went to the beach every summer. I miss it! This year I'm so excited to make the 40 minute drive to the nearest lake to London since Isaac is now old enough to really get some fun from it.
Anyway; it was a beautiful night to stargaze, we also saw (before we knew what it was) Jupiter and Venus glowing incredibly bright right next to each other which was amazing.
Grandpa N. wanted to take Isaac to go see 'his' tractors over where he works with his brother. "Real up close John Deeres and tonkas!" Clutching a toy truck in his hand the whole time Isaac didn't say much but was clearly in awe of the huge machines. Grandpa even let him climb up into the seats and 'drive'.
With his little shirt barely buttoned up he looked just like a little Bruce-County boy indeed:)
Rosie could have cared less and was too preoccupied with getting smiles out of anyone who would give her the time of day:)
Lovely to see Eric's family again and enjoy the peace and quiet.
(Lucky for us we missed out on the big riot in London two blocks away from our home. Thanks for nothing, students)
Now for cute pictures!!!!
