L-O-N-G Weekend!!!

Gotta LOVE long weekends :-)
Great weather we've been having... might as well get out there and enjoy, so I did!!!

Sunday morning got together with Gail and Amy @ LaSalle Park, did our latest homework, which included: sprinting 3x in between each excercise.
It was great not having to do it on my own, made the workout seem less painful because we were outside on a gorgeous day with the gentle breeze from the lake refreshing us as we sweat up a storm!!!
After our workout, I said good-bye to the ladies, I ended up doing our stairs workout that we had done on our first session together.
People must have thought I was weird (they weren't far off) as I ran down the side and did the side squats up the stairs, then running up, etc.
It was great, after that was done, I ran down by the water towards the left, there was a boardwalk that led me to a trail back up the hill.
Went to the end (led me back to the parking lot) I ran back down towards the water and back to the stairs.
I almost ran up the hill and touched the tree BUT my legs felt like jello by this point and my heart was ready to jump out of my chest... soooooo, I walked up quickly and touched the tree with a huge smile on my face :-)

I got in my car and instead of turning left to head home the usual way, I thought "let me go right, see what's down there".
I saw gorgeous mansions with huge lots and the homes on the right I'm guessing their backyards are over looking the lake... how nice is that. Talk about not having to get away to the cottage when you've got a house like that :-)
So, as I'm driving I see QEW, I jump on... I see the bridge heading towards Hamilton... YIKES... WRONG WAY!!!
I took a couple of wrong turns, my navigation was way off.
In the end I was on the right path, heading home :-)

Got home and my husband's cousin brought her dog over for the kiddies to play with. I ended up playing with him too :-)
I cleaned up and we hung out outside for a bit then went out for wood oven pizza... I always end up getting the grilled calamari with veggies, my fav :-)
As we were driving home, we thought lets go for a walk around the neighbourhood, I said "lets take a drive somewhere, park then walk".
I always rave to my hubby about how beautiful Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, etc. are with their parks and other amazing outdoor adventures, just steps from their front door.
Soooooo, we took a drive to Port Credit (Keri's neck of the woods). The kids brought their scooters, they rode as we tried catching up to them :-)
It was such a nice night out... we didn't want to stop walking. As we were heading towards the lighthouse, I thought I heard my name (there are so many Szerenka's in this world of ours... very common name... NOT!!!). I heard it again, I turned to see a friend of mine, who I haven't seen for quite some time now. She was there with her husband and twin boys, her daughter was not there. Talk about a small world, it was great!!!.

We didn't want the day to end. So, we went home and set up the chairs in the backyard and got ready for the fireworks!!!
My husband had bought some earlier in the day, I sat with the kiddies, lighting up sparkles :-)

It was a GREAT day + night :-)

Gotta LOVE l-o-n-g weekends!!!
