An August tradition that we totally love and would never miss is the family picnic in Bradford. It is always a great time, partially due to the many fun activities for kids (and competitors) of all ages, but mostly because of the hosts and the other attendees. Auntie Catherine, along with Jason and Kayla work tirelessly to make this event special for everyone, especially the kids, who are growing in number every. Seems like only yesterday we were bringing Isabelle to her first picnic at the age of 11 months, with only a few other little ones hanging around. Over the course of the last 5 years, those numbers have grown by leaps and bounds. Although the day started off with rain, it subsided to allow us all to enjoy the outdoors, eat some great food and compete in the traditional shoe kick, hammering contest, water balloon throw and a new entrant this year, Beer Pong! To see all the little ones enjoying themselves and playing happily as a group just warms your heart; this picnic will change every year as we see them grow up before our eyes, much like their parents also did many year ago. After a great night back at Catherine's farm, it was time to head back to Toronto for bedtime. The kids were asleep minutes after hitting the road, exhausted from all the hyperactivity. Can't wait until next year already!
