For the last three days my brother and I have been sanding various pieces of furniture including a pair of stools each and a collapsible table for the both of us. We sanded non-stop for three hours each day with our little electric sanders. The furniture was due for a colour change so we sanded the varnish of and plan to stain to match our china cabinet.

St. Jacobs

Yesterday my family and I went to St. Jacobs market for the day. We had lots of fun and bought such novelties as Ice cream sandwiches and deep-fried Mars bars..... (not). We went to the auction room and saw loads of cattle and calfs. We also indulged ourselves in the Lego store as well as the China shop, (I wasn't alowed in that one). Our mums bought stacks of vegetables including radishes, potatoes, carrots and other munchies. Having lived in a desert for nigh on six years, we were experts at staying hydrated. We must have drank at least three bottles each!

We had loads of fun at the market and it made for a very good day.

Six days ago, my family and I made the journey to Ganonoque for our Summer vacation. We went camping at the Ivy Lea campsite right on the St. Lawrence. We stayed for five long days out in the wilderness. My brother and I were delighted to find a teatherball court on the playground and played with it innumerous times. I usually won but we had great fun all the same. The use of water guns also occupied a great deal of our time along with other activities such as swimming, fire making, and reading in our small tent. All in all, we had a great time on vacation and we hope to return to Ivy Lea in the near future.
