At the Welland Canal (in the part that goes through the city and is now only for recreational use after they made a new part of the canal bypassing the city) one of the summer events is "float fest"; people going in floatables down stream. A colorful fun event with life music and food trucks.
That same weekend I enjoyed watching an "under 18" girls tennis tournament hosted by the Welland Tennis Club. Amazing young tennis talent at display. A 12 year old won the singles final beating the 17 year old first seeded player. I am so glad that I embraced playing tennis again this summer; on the court 3 - 4 times per week....
Mark turned 30 on the 15th and Mary decorated their house as a fun surprise (she did the same for Hilary when she turned 30 two years ago in Vancouver). Mark did a short triathlon race today and was happy with his time. Carly is recovering from an infection on her leg, but Fiona also did the race (as the three of them did two summers ago). Hilary is working hard to complete her Master Degree thesis these days, while co-hosting Shayd's mother in Vancouver during her first ever visit to Canada. Busy, busy...
After the triathlon event we had burgers and salads at the house of Carly and Mark, already wishing Ralph a happy birthday tomorrow (and Susan last week). Summer is such a great time of the year. The new back concrete porch at Mark & Carly is beautiful with well selected furniture. Have a look...
