Today was our annual trip to the Canadian National Exhibition. It was a beautiful day for it. Not a cloud in the sky , but it was never too hot. We spent most of the day waiting in lines so that the kids could go on the different rides. It was an amazing day.
Today Violet returned from her week at camp.She love each of her 5 days, and is already looking forward to going back next year.
