Toronto Grand Prix 2007 and The Boat.

The family was split this weekend. The boys did boy things and the girls did girl things! Mike and Mark headed to Toronto to the Grand Prix. They were up and gone by 8 am Saturday morning so they could get there early to start collecting autographs and watch the practice.

• This picture is taken from their seats right on the start/finish line.

• You can see how close they were to the race and the great view they had of all the cars.
  

• Mark had his picture taken with Frankie Muniz. A.k.a Agent Cody Banks and the kid from Malcolm in the Middle. He told Mark he has given up his Hollywood life to become a race car driver. He didn't race in the Champ Car race, but he did race the Atlantic race (I believe...I could be wrong!)
  

• After they did all they could do at the track Saturday, they went for a visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Mark posed with The Stanley Cup.
  

Mark was thrilled with all the free stuff they collected. He got a hockey stick from Kris Newbury who plays for the Toronto Marlies. He had been brought up to the Leafs for some games last year and he used to play for our OHL team. And some guy in a store told Mark he was the coolest person he'd seen all day and gave him a t-shirt! Plus they got pens, air fresheners, stickers, tattoos and more.

While the boys were playing, us girls did a little playing of our own! On Saturday we went to Pam's mother's 80th Birthday open house for a while. It was nice to see some people we haven't seen for a while and her mom was so happy and she looked great! After that Jade and I went for a boat ride on Jeff's new boat. Yes, Tammy let him buy a boat and he's been in it pretty much every day!! He's scared himself a couple of times because it goes pretty fast!

• Jade is not too sure about it at first, but she got on, grinned for a picture and held on for dear life!
  

• We went for a ride for about a half an hour looking at all the big houses on the lake and Jade was quietly looking around, only saying once or twice that she wanted to go back. On the way back the wind was whipping and some water splashed over the side and she cried....and she cried......and she cried all the way back to the beach! She did not stop until her feet were planted on the sand!
  

• Jade was very happy playing in the sand, although she did tell Jeff she will probably try it again, maybe when she's a little older! I think he was a little bummed out she didn't love it as much as he does!
  

• Mark has yet to go for a ride on the lake, but they are both pretty happy playing in it while it is on solid ground, parked safely in the garage!!
  

On Sunday Jade and I went with Tammy to her baby shower. It is amazing how many new and fun things there are for babies now! The baby is coming soon....21 more days until her due date. 21 more days until my baby turns 10!
