There are so many things I look forward to every summer but it's the visit from my sister and her partner that I look forward to most! Sometimes it's a year or more since the last time I saw them so heading to the airport on that day every July or August when their flight from Calgary lands in Sydney is something I truly look forward to.
This year, they were home for a long stretch. The main difference between this year and last year is that our little nephew is speaking and picking up on new things like a sponge so he really bonded with them.
For the first few days, we hung out at the house in Glace Bay and spent hot summer days swimming in the pool, going for drives, walking along the beach and catching up on what's new in each other's lives.
They headed to Cheticamp for just over a week to take in some of the Acadian festivities that were taking place there. They intended to do some fishing on the Margaree River but the river was closed due to the woods ban.
I headed to the west coast myself that week and was able to meet up with them a few times for coffee and supper one evening. When they returned to Glace Bay, we spent the last few days hanging out on the deck and by the pool. Their time here went all too fast and before I knew it, I was back at the airport to see them off again. That's the thing I look forward to the least.
