Canoeing The Grand River

Well we are back in Kitchener, our flight and trip were uneventful, and Cooper was excited to have us back.
We had a great time visiting with everyone and already can't wait until our next visit.

There is no special name for the holiday in Ontario, for us it is just a civic holiday but it makes for a long weekend none the less.  We haven't made any big plans as Robbie is trying to chip away at his thesis but we have made time for some tennis and today we went out canoeing on the Grand River.  It was a lot of fun and thankfully there was a breeze on the water because it was another hot day in the 30's.  Robbie and I aren't the most compatible paddlers and we weren't that synchronized but we made it the full 2 hours/10 km without too much incident, and thankfully it was all down river with a pick up from the endpoint back to the launch site.  My arms are definitely going to be sore tomorrow.  

We  had a delicious meal of spinach salad with strawberries, corn on the cob and chicken kabobs with pineapple and peppers this evening.  My last onion was rotten and we ran out of propane but somehow everything turned out great!!  Robbie has also made a pumpkin cake dessert with sugar frosting which was also delicious.  Robbie is always trying to cook up something new, he has also made a pad thai and a jambalaya so we continue to eat well!
