labour day at dow's lake

Hope you all had a great Labour Day, the final public holiday of the summer.....sigh! Today we got another one of those things-we-would-like-to-do-this-summer packed into our agenda. It all started with football this morning, we came home, had lunch, Lilah napped and then we were on the road again. We rented one of the pedal boats at Dow's Lake, which is a beautiful scenic man-made lake right in the city, pretty close by where we live. Well that's when Labour Day started for us! Pedaling a boat around a lake on a beautiful sunny day sure is fun 'labour' though. Even Lilah thought so, she got right in the action, pedaling away and saying "Help Mama"! Yes, she was a big help, even though I had to hold her up the whole time and my biceps were so not loving the workout! Good times! After the 'hard work' was over, we enjoyed some Mexican food on an outdoor patio and then took a walk around the lovely flower gardens by the lake. Our next stop was Chinatown where we topped the evening off with a mint bubble tea. Mmmm! More pictures here.
