Pretties Island

Circle Rainbow

The first weekend in August, after my last day at Mimi's, Matt and I headed on our way to Pretties Island in Canada to meet up with his family for a family reunion of sorts. On our ride up we listened to the audiobook, The Hunger Games, which is excellent and full of original creativity. After our eight hour drive, in which Matt drove most of the way, we hung around the campfire with all the young adults.

The next day was filled with outdoor activities such as kayaking, swimming, tubing, and disking. Disking is literally a wooden disk that you lay/kneel/stand on as a boat pulls you across the water. I really enjoyed disking and was happy to be able to stand up on it AND do a 360 while kneeling. Not only that but Matt and I started experimenting with the disking and eventually were both standing on it together! 

The weekend was so relaxing, it was nice to be able to sit down and just read a book without worrying about work and scheduling lessons. In addition, I was able to relax with a nice cold beer since it is legal in Canada! Matt's family are so nice to me which makes spending time with them really fun.

The picture of the rainbow is actually from last summer at Pretties Island. When we were out on the boat we this bizarre rainbow that made a complete circle in the sky above us. It was something I had never seen before! The picture of Allie and Matt is from this year when the two of them were being super cute and making their Mom tear up from their act behind the boat. Love, love.
