The boys also played well together. Owen and Isaac are only 6 months apart...it is so nice that the cousins are so close.

Tobin:

Owen and Isaac fishing. "Do you see any fishies?"
"Three cheers for team White Shirts. Hip Hip Horray - Hip Hip Horray - Hip Hip Horray!"
It was these three against Adrian, Kiah & Isabelle...I think team White Shirts won 3 games in a row.
The after goal group hug:

The Girls

Jason, Bridget and the kids (Justin, Isaac, Kiah and Tobin) spent a week at the cottage in July. We went up for two days and took about a million pics. The girls are so close in age and really got along so well. Isabelle kept saying "This is my friend Kiah" "Hi my friend Kiah" ... so cute! Here are some of my favourites:

cn tower

CN TOWER
We spent a great day with Nora and the kids at the CN Tower...they were most amazed by the glass floor in the elevator and in the observation area. I was not brave enough to stand on it...but the kids were all over it!


They really were so cute together:
And no fear of pressing right up against the glass:

Even though it was a cloudy day, we got to see a lot through the viewers. Owen loved looking at how small the people were.

Some wonderful group shots:
