Country mouse, city mouse

So, the August long weekend was spent with Bitter's family. During the three days we saw cousins and grandams and uncles and nieces and nephews. A very full weekend. With the cousins we spent some quality time on Friday eating, drinking and hanging out.

Saturday and Sunday involved nieces and nephews: once at Grandma's, once at their own place. Four energetic children between 12 and 6 with nothing to do at Grandma's is not my ideal time, but we survived. The next night at their own place, where they could run and do what they liked, was much better. BBQ, firepit and jumping on the trampoline in the dark. Whee!

Monday saw us venturing to Wiarton - home of Wiarton Willie the groundhog. A six hour round trip and the little bastard didn't even make an appearance. To be fair, he wasn't the reason for the trip, which was beautiful and Wiarton is a nice little town at an inlet.

Guelph and Georgetown are also very beautiful.
