Pride Toronto 2011

 To all my LGBTTIQQ2SA readers;
1. I love, love you
2. Damn you know how to throw a party!

For those in the know, last week was Pride week and Sunday marked the Annual Pride Parade in Toronto which is a huge attraction to the city. The almost certainly homophobic Mayor of Toronto Rob Ford was not in attendance, but I most certainly was, marching in the parade and pumping up the crowds with the University of Waterloo contingent. It was a surreal people-watching experience, the crowds were massive and I haven't seen that many people gathered in one place since I saw an American college football game. Overall, there was such an atmosphere of acceptance, self-love and general positive vibes that it more than sucks to recognize that there are folks who still suffer as victims of hate crimes just because of their sexuality. One might criticize Pride for its mainstream co-optation of underground gay culture, but all in all I was just happy to be there.
 Massive crowds
Where is Rob Ford?

Walking on Sunshine

Summer arrived faster then we were prepared for. We improvised though and packed it to the max to keep ourselves busy. Here's a recap of our summer, picture style.

 We had cool ice creams cones on a hot July 4th holiday...

We were learning how to swim...

We made some new friends...


we enjoyed the waterslides...


We discovered the thrill of a ride...

Discovered sand...

and loved it...

caught our first wave...

and went back for another...

We had a great time.

But this? THIS is face of summer. Pure, unadulterated summer.

"I'm walking on sunshine, oh yeah
I'm walking on sunshine
and don't it feel good!"

Goodbye summer, it's been fun!

This post is part of parenting BY dummies So NOT dumb Summer Photo Contest. You've got until this Thursday, September 9th to link up.

How was your summer?
