Scenes from the weekend

It was a lovely weekend, this last one in July. We lounged around on Saturday morning, played with trains, ate doughnuts that my dad brought 'round. I went to the gym, got ready for houseguests {due to arrive tomorrow sometime}. Spent a really fun evening out with my mom and my sister, laughing our heads off, wandering through the most beautiful gardens and watching the fireworks. Sunday was good, too. We went for a family hike, and the boys were wild for it. They love an adventure, those two. The view from the top of Mill Hill was gorgeous, and the feeling of accomplishment was great. After that we came home for lunch and then I went to the gym again. Was feeling rather sporty! My legs are killing me now though. I treated myself to a few more goodies for my new office {lovely desktop organizer type stuff}. It's all coming together beautifully {stay tuned for photos, v. soon!}. Later in the day, we picked veggies from our garden and used them to whip up a fabulous salad bar supper {just like we had every day in Sorrento... stay tuned for more photos from there soon, too!}, with triple-chocolate waffle cones for dessert. Life is good. And today's a holiday, so that's even better. Because seriously, who doesn't love a long weekend?

 Train tracks + sidewalk chalk on our back porch

 Tiny boxes of Timbits! 

 Love this gate

 Blue skies and totem poles on a lovely summer day

 Fields full of snapdragons

 Ooooh. Aaaah.

 "I can climb SUPER high, Mum! See?"

 Yay! I made it!

Some Sunday afternoon reading

Yum.
