Labor Day Weekend has come and gone.....

On my last day of work before the long 4 day weekend, we had a new client come to visit our call center. For that reason, they asked that we dress up a bit. Well the guys in our ticket logging group certainly WOW'd me, and I certainly couldn't allow them to get away without having their picture taken. SO here are my buddies, Mouse, Mark & Wavey-Davey:

The next night, after dinner at the Last Chance, we went out to the lodge for a visit. Judy asked me to take a picture of her in front of Harly's new/old tractor.

On Saturday, we took our friends Shayne and Stephanie out for a boat ride. It started off to be a great day but as we neared the gap at the foot of Amherst Island, the wind picked up and we had to head it back to the cottage STAT! As we traveled at blinding speed, I felt something hitting my skin...I was sitting alone in the bow of the boat. It was HAIL! Jebus! So we made it back to the cottage, hung out with our friends, had a bite to eat and then headed back to the marina as the sun went down. An amazing sunset was welling up in the sky and Shayne couldn't wait to start clicking at the scenery:

And here is what he was snapping:

On Sunday, we went back out on the water (after Coronation Street was done) and met up with Roger and Roberta. We convinced them to go up the Cataraqui River with us to Kingston Mills. On the way up, I took this sideways picture as Bill was speeding between the markers.

I found this sign under the 401 quite amusing:

That night, we went to Roger and Roberta's for dinner, then off to Harly's for a corn roast/bomb fire. When we got there, we were quite surprised to see a lot of out friends dressed up in Trailer Park Boys attire. Here is a picture of Brandy's T-shirt:

And Shelly's shirt:

And Christine's shirt:

Last but not least, Jim as Julian:

We didn't get home till almost 1 am and then back up again at 7 to get ready for another trip to the great lake. Due to the fact that the price of gas was so high, & there was no one at the marina to pump gas for us, we decided to boat-pool with Roger and Roberta. Their neighbour James joined us for the trip, and doubled as our captain on the trip back home. We went into the bay in Picton and actually met up with three other boats from our marina. What a beautiful spot for a day trip!
There is a lot of history in this little port, it is evident with the old structures that have been restored:

Can you believe how blue the sky was? None of these pictures have been altered:



On the way home, we almost got t-boned by this float plane that came soaring right towards us. Suffice to say, we had to speed up so they could land safely.

We took over 2 hrs to make it back to the marina, as the sun was so warm and it felt like the end of the summer was going to happen when we returned to solid ground. I think this last picture pretty well sums up the GREAT summer we had with our good friends Roger and Roberta:
