What a fantastic weekend. The weather was perfect, and the tin palace was full of my favourite people.

It's not too often I can get both my kids in the same place at the same time these days, but it all came together this weekend as Delyse and I enjoyed having Melanie and Danny and their mates for a great weekend.

Melanie and her boyfriend Josh arrived on Saturday morning, while Danny and his girlfriend Shawna arrived Saturday night.

It was Shawna's first visit to paradise and she left with the same mind-set that everyone else does. She wants to come back. Good food, good times and good people, it works every time - especially when the weather is near perfect.

On Sunday afternoon we organized the biggest and best raft party of all time.

My buddy Brian Collins has a raft that measures maybe ten by ten, but after you hook up three pontoon boats to the son of a bitch, all of a sudden you have a enough room for about thirty people.

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture to show you, because I was out of the raft and didn't have my camera in my bathing suit, and yesterday I forget to download some pictures from other people. Maybe I'll post some later in the week.

Put it this way. It was good. Very good.

We also enjoyed a new family member. Melanie and Josh got a new dog a couple of months ago, and he's a beauty.

"Bones" got his name because when he arrived at a shelter near Guelph back in the spring, he was nothing but skin and "bones." Melanie saw him on one of those "petfinder" websites and fell in love.

We're not completely sure how old he is, but he's a wonderful little guy. He's docile, obedient for the most part and extremely affectionate.

We're convinced that during his "Littlest Hobo" time he experienced some that things that have made him a little skittish, but everyday he's just gets better and better.

This weekend he was pleasure to have at the trailer, and we can't wait till he comes back.

The little guy has stolen all our hearts.
