The only thing that was missing from our Great Canadian May “2-4″ weekend was a tent! (But really… that’s VERY ok!) Tents some how have a way of attracting 8 legged critters that I can live without!
my arachnophobia is partially to blame for my parents selling their cottage at the beach! Yes, it’s that bad!
The weekend started off with Retro Fest in Downtown Chatham-Kent. As a lover of vintage cars… Of course we had to go! It’s quite impressive to see how many people come into Chatham just for this annual event! The main street was lined up with hundreds of classic cars and car enthusiasts alike. I have come to learn that this isn’t just a “Boyz ‘n toys” hobby, women certainly have there place in this game as well!
Next Stop: The Fire Pit
This is what Canadian weekends are all about!
Marshmallows and hot dogs… even if they are veggie dogs! (Thank’s Mom!)
Dessert… Nothing better than burned marshmallows! Speaking of which, have you ever tasted “Roasted Marshmallow Ice Cream from Eve Chocolatier? Sooo delicious… mix it up with some Coffee Toffee and your taste buds will never be the same again!
The weekend isn’t over yet!!
Now we are off to the local Aviaries to play! Let it be known that I am NOT a fan of caged animals. It actually breaks my heart to come here and that is the reason I haven’t been in years.
This place was packed with families enjoying the splash pads and zip lines… and yes, the caged animals. We had a great day, but I will have to come up with a pretty good excuse to avoid coming here again.
Seems so lonely.
This guy seems to be pretty happy though!
Fruit Loops… the natural food of the rain forests. He didn’t seem to sure that he wanted to eat it!
Time to plaaaay!
We wrapped up this beautiful long weekend with some corn on the cob and grilled asparagus. I will have to remember these things I love about Canadian summers and introduce them to future brit friends!
