Summer vacation is over. We finished our family time with one final hurrah, a visit to the Granby Zoo. The day was not perfect but I think it worked to our advantage in the end, it was grey when we arrived and drizzly for most of the afternoon, but we ignored the wet and just enjoyed the refreshing temperature. The cool thing about Granby Zoo is that it offers a bit of everything; we started out at the wave pool, then spent some time at the amusement park and finished up the day checking out some favorite animals. In fact, it was the perfect culmination of our water and animal themed vacation! As always, Clara impressed both Marc and I with her fearlessness in the wave pool and determination on the bumper cars (she was way too young for them but she was tall enough so they let her on!)
After the Zoo we went to our vacation retreat in Bromont (Papa T and Cathy's house) and relaxed for the evening. The next day Clara and Marc fit in a swim and we spent some time outside enjoying the sunny weather before heading back home. Clara and I both lamented Papa's return to work on Monday but we are slowly getting back into the swing of things.
