big girl pants, camper, Day 6, English Garden, garden, grandsons, moments, Park, Pokémon, supper, thunderstorm, umbrella, walk, widow, WWTB

bit of a sleep in this morning as I didn’t have to be at the office until 9…

during the very early morning there was a big thunderstorm, which kept me awake… so I hadn’t slept well for the second night and started the day with a serious headache…

got a few shots of the eggplants covered in rainwater before heading out…

dropped the camper off and got a quick bye grandma… much more enthusiastic today, lol…

not long after I got home (early because we started late and finished early today) the wind blew the umbrella right off the table and onto the deck by the hot tub just a few feet from the middle guy… scary…

we went over to the Park to hunt for Pokémon and when we got there the app stopped working… so instead, we searched for frogs and found a bunch…

nice to have some one-on-one time with this guy… we picked up the camper and walked over the bridge for ice cream at Sargent Sundae… spotted a plane flying over the river as we crossed it…

heard about everyone’s day as we had supper…

did laundry because at least one of these young men gets his clothes really dirty, lol…

well, the day did not turn out as hoped… we took a taxi at 4:45 am to the Festival Montgolfier de Gatineau, across the river… we got lost a few times but eventually arrived at the Hot Air Balloon site where we waited in the dark for a long time in a long line… we filled out forms and sat and waited for our flight… eventually, the sun rose and the sky was beautiful…

IMG_7714.JPGsadly this is as close as we got to the balloons…

IMG_7715.JPGit was too windy… we took a taxi home, slept for a bit and after lunch we all went back to the fair and spent some time on rides and playing games…

IMG_7719.JPGwe shared some wonderful potatoes and then we went and waited for the evening balloon ride…

IMG_7720.JPGonce again, this is how close we got to the balloon, still too windy…

IMG_7716.JPGwe took a bus to the Museum of Civilization where we thought we would get another bus across the bridge to Ottawa and home… unfortunately that bus didn’t run in the evening, so we walked across the bridge and I got a nice shot of the Museum…

IMG_7721.JPGso, please send us nice weather vibes so we might get up in a balloon over the next couple of days, although the weather says it is going to rain tomorrow:-(… there are still three chances and then we head for home…
