Instead of Camping

This was supposed to be a post about our awesome weekend camping and kiteboarding, but instead we ended up spending August long in the city. We had the car packed and were all the way out to Ajax when Allen asked me to take him back home.
Last weekend when we were kiteboarding in Oliphant, Allen hurt his foot a bit. He wasn’t sure if he stepped on something or twisted it, but it was kinda sore throughout the week. Then on Friday and Saturday it swelled up and his stomach also got ill. We weren’t sure if his foot was infected and he was feeling pretty lousy so we thought we should be home and around a hospital in case he had to go. Al rested and his stomach was better by Sunday, but still can’t walk well on that one foot.
Despite the injury, he did manage to get down to the Toronto Music Garden which is not far from our house. The photo in this post was taken at the garden looking back toward downtown Toronto.
To get some activity outdoors, today I went biking with my friend Natalie out to Leslie Street Spit. It was great! I had no idea that you could even bike out to the land opposite of the Toronto Windsurf Club. I didn’t know it was attached. If you bike in Toronto, check it out.
So, our weekend didn’t go as planned, but I still had a nice one. Poor Allen. I hope his foot gets better soon.
