Grandsons Will and Ben arrived at Margaret-Ann and John’s early Friday afternoon on July 29th… Jeremy and Jennifer dropping them off on their way to spend the night at an inn in Creemore, a little over an hour north of Brampton. The boys played for the rest of the day and after dinner, bath time and bedtime stories settled down for a good night sleep.

After Saturday morning breakfast, it was off to Professor’s Lake to feed the ducks.

After lunch and Ben’s nap, Margaret-Ann and John drove the boys to Georgetown where they picked up their Aunt Meredith and headed to the local splash pad to play in the water.

Returning from Georgetown, there was time before dinner to load the boys in the stroller and take a short walk down to the Etobicoke Creek near Margaret-Ann and John’s house. There a couple of beavers were busy working on maintaining their dam. Then it was back to Margaret-Ann and John’s for a pizza dinner with fruit and a chocolate fondue for dessert.
