Canada Day fireworks at Creemore

These are kind of self-explanatory.

We also participated in the great migration to the Muskokas that happens every summer weekend.


We sat around on the very sunny dock.


We fed ducks that were as tamed and fearless as any in the city.


And we learned valuable lessons about the relative buoyancy of consumer beverages. To whit: Glass bottles sink. Anything else (including aluminum cans and plastic bottles of Coke shaped like soccer balls — don't ask) floats. Floating, which you would think is a good idea, is actually bad if you happen to be using a giant fishing net and the lake as a cooling device, because the first foot or so of water is the warmest layer. So, while the beverage in question can usually be recovered (we never did find the aforementioned soccer ball of Coke), it's usually warm. And shaken. But it is entertaining.

It actually feels kind of odd to be back at work — my last two weeks have been three-day work weeks due to the G20 and the Canada Day holiday (I took July 2nd off to bridge the gap). Now I'm back to full-time, and it's good (less stress), but feels odd (less vacation).
