Wednesday, July 18th - we cooled off with an icy movie!

Yesterday was once again warm and sunny but with the breeze it didn't feel too bad. It's overcast this morning and the weather network says showers but there are none at 5:00 am. It's 19' and only heading for 23' later but the humidity will make it feel like 29'. Yesterday was extremely hot in southern Ontario. It was reaching 37' with a humidex reading of 43'.  That's WAY too hot even for a warm loving person like me. I checked the weather online last night and at 8:00 it was still 32'. Patti tells me she's ever so grateful they have air conditioning, that's pretty much been on continuously since May.

We chose to cool off yesterday after work by going to the movies. We stopped for a bite of Chinese food on the way to the movie, then went to see "Ice Age - Continental Drift".  The graphics and quality of kids movies has evolved amazingly since our kids were little.  It was very entertaining and Tristen loved it. He was very tired after camp but once he had a bit of food into him he perked right up.

Of course by the time we got home, it was almost time for bed so a few minutes playing an online game and a snack, and he was off to dreamland.

Tonight we're going to make Peanut Butter Balls because his mom will be arriving tomorrow and he wants to make some to take home (and to share with Bernie!)  If we start them right after supper then maybe later on Lloyd can take him and the balls over to the Van Gaals on the bike so he can get in one more bike ride. I know he's really anxious to do that.  He's also very keen to go to the McDonald's in town because it has the play area. I suggested to him that maybe we can do that tomorrow on our way home when his mom is here, assuming she can get on the flight she wants to get on.  We'll play that one by ear.

Other than that, nothing is new. I called Brenda when we got home last night and she wasn't in.  She called back a few minutes later, having just returned from a bike ride. It was a lovely evening for it. They've been busy at their house  with multiple projects going on.  It's hard to believe we're almost half way through summer already and there are going to be several weekends when we won't get out together but once fall comes, there is usually some pretty good riding and kayaking weather to be had.
