Travels of the Agnew Family for 2008.01.01 to 2010.01.31

I forgot the amount of effort that goes into making salads and was surprised when it took most of yesterday, but as I had arranged to go on a picnic with my mom and aunt they were necessary. This morning I was up early and Zaph and I were on the road by 8am, picked up my mom in Burlington just after 10am, picked up my aunt and her dog Miles in Mississauga around 11am and drove to a local park on Lake Ontario. Jack Darling Park has some great picnic areas and were were able to find a table in the shade (at least to begin with) with a view of the lake. Thankfully the salads were good. After lunch we played some cards, took a short walk and then went for a drive so we could be in air conditioning --- I picked a very hot day for a picnic. Zaph was a little disappointed as he was right beside a lake and didn't get to go swimming --- didn't want to deal with a wet dog in the car.


Miles, he's a very nice little dog


After lunch we broke out the cards and played 40. We play for a penny a point and I was the big winner ending a dollar ahead.
