Sarah’s monthly ice cream arrived and there was still some dry ice in the packaging. It’s always fun to play with!

I finished my Cabot Trail activity challenge last weekend and the medal arrived this weekend! I ran and cycled a combined 300 km – the length of the Cabot Trail – over a period of 9 weeks.

Senior school has a dress-up week this week and today was “Hogwarts” themed. The freshmen were assigned Hufflepuff, so I had a very happy Hufflepuff this morning.

Always a classic.

We had some soft bananas to use up, so we made banana chocolate chip muffins. Yum!

We enjoyed a 10 km bike ride for Labour Day.

It’s finally Friday so Colin is sleeping in his tent. Happy Long Weekend!

We had a great weekend of backyard birding, including some dueling hummingbirds that came end went all weekend. It was adult male ruby-throated hummer vs juvenile male ruby-throated hummer. The juvenile was the instigator but the adult eventually won.

It’s still very warm outside in Texas so Colin is preparing for indoor adventure.

It’s still plenty hot here in Texas so I tried a bike ride through the local off road trails instead of the paths. It is definitely harder, and there were 2 puddles, one was really deep!
