Summer!!!

It's here at last! We have been enjoying some fab weather lately. Here's a recap of what we've been up to...

Last Thursday night (June 26/08) was the beginning of "The World's Longest Softball Attempt". I was able to volunteer for several hours on Thursday evening, Saturday and again Monday evening. Monday evening was the wrap up and the teams played softball for 96 hours and 4 minutes STRAIGHT! The teams raised over $10,000 for Cancer research, as well as "unofficially" scored a new record for the Guiness World Book of Records for the longest softball game played (96 hours, 4 minutes). It was an awesome experience to be a small part of it all and definitely a proud moment when the teams finished up. It was hard not to get teary eyed when all the team members ran out onto the field when it was all over with. They are all amazing people, that's for sure.

This past weekend was Festival of Lights and of course, Canada Day. We didn't take in any of the concerts but we were downtown all day on Canada Day and met up with Janelle, Jonathan and baby Taren. Cohen had a blast at the exhibition and he even went on the Scrambler with Danny! Once I figure out how to post some pictures, I'll do so.

I took a vacation day yesterday and Cohen & I hung out at Victoria Park with Amanda, Gracie & Maddie. The kids had a great time playing in the sprinkler and on the playground equipment. Pictures to come as well!

Today I'm back to the grind and roasting. It's 22 outside but we are sitting in a heritage building with no air conditioning. Gross! Can't wait until 4 p.m. so I can get out of here and enjoy the weather.

Cohen begins his Intro to Sports program this evening and he's looking forward to it. He goes Tuesday and Thursday evenings for 1 hour from tonight until the end of August. Should be a good time!

Oh, I almost forgot...I've been following Weight Watchers since January, and Wednesday when I had my weekly weigh in, I hit my very first 25 pound loss! Go me!!
