Summer Fun with the Ellis Family: When August Heats Up, We Cool Down (and Laugh a Lot!)

A man, a family, on a mission

August in Kitchener means one thing: the Ellis family is out and about, making the most of every sun-soaked day and starry night. If you thought this dynamic trio was all work and no play, think again. This summer, the Ellis family has been mixing hot and cool vibes like a Tim Hortons double-double—perfectly balanced, with a side of fun.

Tim, our favorite world-class paralegal, decided to take a break from saving the world one legal case at a time to try his hand at barbecuing. Let's just say, after a few "well-done" attempts (where "well-done" means "nearly set the deck on fire"), he’s considering a career as a grill master... but only if it involves negotiating with the burgers to flip themselves.

TJ spent August fine-tuning his golf swing and dodging heatwaves like a pro. Whether he’s practicing at the driving range or showing off his skills on the course, TJ knows how to keep his cool, even when the temperature (and the pressure) is rising. Of course, his secret weapon is a water bottle that never seems to run dry and a golf cart stocked with enough snacks to feed a small army.

And then there's Megan, who took advantage of the "cooler" August evenings to indulge in her favorite pastime—stargazing. But leave it to Megan to turn a peaceful night under the stars into an adventure. From trying to identify constellations (and occasionally inventing new ones) to convincing her brother to join her for a midnight hike and fun, hilarious, political talks, she’s the definition of summer spontaneity. Rumour has it, she even made friends with a raccoon who now follows her on instagram and is her campaign mascot in the upcoming federal election! Vote Megan!

Together, this 3 powerful members of the Ellis family has turned August into a month of unforgettable memories, balancing the hot days with cool activities and plenty of laughter. Whether it's apartment barbecues, golf outings, or impromptu nature adventures, one thing's for sure—summer with the Ellis family is never boring.

So, if you're in Kitchener this August and spot a family having a blast while keeping their cool, chances are, you've just found the Ellises. Don’t be shy—join in the fun, or at the very least, enjoy the show!
