Summary of Summer

Wow... talk about a busy 'Summer'. Yes I write 'Summer', because we did not get a real Summer this year. The weather was really bad in May, June, July and August. With maybe a handful of days with decent temperatures. Only for the last 3 weeks weather has been mild and we have been catching up on hiking and sunbathing. That last thing maybe is not true. :)

On the other hand it was super busy at our place the last 3 months. We had a lot of visitors. At the end of June, Ann & Wim (Sarah's parents) and Maria & Marcel (friends of them) where here to enjoy our new country of residence. :) They did a road trip through the Rockies and enjoyed The Calgary Stampede (and the opening parade down town). By that time Laurie & Liesbeth (friends of Sarah) had joined the party. Yep, at one point we were with 8(!) people in the house.
Finally in September our friend Hans was here. I did a 9 day road trip with him to Vancouver and back and we had an awesome time. 6 of those days we spent in rain though.
Did I tell you about our wonderful 'summer' yet?

Thanks Laurie and Liesbeth for the wonderful pictures.
