The first day, I took the kids strawberry picking at 8 AM. It was awesome. They got to ride the tractor and wagon to the strawberry patch and helped me fill 2x4L baskets. When we got home, Mason "helped" make strawberry jam (the others weren't too interested in this).
The next day was July 1, Canada Day. We relaxed some and went to see the fireworks at 10 at night. The kids never usually stay up this late (really only at Christmas time) so they were quite tired the next day. But, they had lots of fun seeing fireworks for the very first time. The boys loved it and Megan eventually did too.
The next two days (yesterday and today) we've mostly been relaxing and trying to catch up on our sleep debt. The weather is finally (!) warm - around 30C - and the kids were in the pool with Ian a lot this weekend (not me - it's gotta be super warm in order for me to brave myself in a prego bathing suit and into the water).
This little monkey loves the water - just check out the smile!
Austen is all about safety...lifejacket, floaties, AND ring. Three times safety. And he still complains that he's sinking!
We also needed bubbles by the pool, apparently...
This morning we went to the early service at church..8:00. So nice and so calm. "It wasn't busy at all," according to the kids :)
It's over at 9:00 and we're home by latest 9:30. So we have the rest of the day still! Here are the 3 monkeys with their church backpacks on...
This monkey is NOT happy about going to church today and still has quite a sleep debt from Canada Day...
Megan is always "not warm", so she still wears a sweater most days. Guess she kind of takes after me that way :)
Wonderful summer start!
