🚲✈️ Drax’s Summer Adventure! 🐉

Tessa, Drax and the family hit the Lakeshore for a bike ride and stopped to watch the CNE Air Show!✈️

Drax was absolutely fascinated by the planes—especially the Snowbirds! He kept turning his head back and forth trying to spot them… and then, all of a sudden, they flew right over our heads!😍✈️ Talk about perfect timing!

After the show, they stopped for one last summer ice cream treat. 🍦 And let’s just say… Drax had ZERO problems finishing his!😋🐉

It’s a little sad to see summer drifting away… but there’s a bright side:

🏒 HOCKEY IS BACK!🏒🧡🖤

Bring on another season, Dragons! 🐉🔥

Thank you Tessa for giving Drax a summer to
Remember. ⛅️🕶️
