Holding onto Summer at Grand Bend.














In honour of the last week of Summer, my friends and I decided to brave it up and enjoy one last day at the beach. Regardless of being one of the few people at Grand Bend this past weekend, we endured the semi-cold winds and still had a blast. Granted, the water was too cold to swim in (going in knee-deep was enough to make me shiver), but sharing light hearted conversation, laughter, junk food, and building sandcastles like little kids was all we needed to get us through the day. After a stroll along the boardwalk, indulging in way too many salt water taffies, and a cute little dinner at The Sunset House, we headed back to London and waved bye bye to Summer. Now it's really time to focus on school and recruiting.

Chips on the beach...best pairing. Glad you had fun and you girls are brave for sticking it out in the COLD! I'd reckon it's pretty cold out in Canada right now, no??
