A rare day and perfect summer day
It is a rare day where I really have nothing planned.
So today, I decided I was just going to go with whatever came up. So, I started with a walk in the woods at Lynde Shores with the kids. They LOVE this place. The chipmunks and birds ate right out of their hands and there were PLENTY of them around. I almost stepped on a chipmunk once. That is how many there were. My favorite though was watching the birds land on Hadley's hand. I think she had three birds at one point.
After this, the kids and I decided to head to Whitby Shores to cool down at the splash pad. Today was a dream summer day at the splash pad. It was hot and my kids were the only ones there. This never happens. It is usually very difficult to watch over two kids running around with water spraying everywhere amongst the many children but today it was awesome! Plus my kids didn't have to wait to use the sprayer. :)
We followed this up with lunch on the beach. I packed a lunch as I didn't really know where the day would take us.
Both kids were on their best behavior so when the request to go to the ice cream truck came up, how could I say no. (They have been asking all summer as they heard the bells through out the neighbourhood but we never actually saw the truck).
After this, we tried out the circuit training equipment on the beach, played in the sand and made a castle that had sticks and feathers in it, we played in the water and then flew a kite in the perfect wind conditions on the beach.
It was an awesome day! Full of happiness!
I felt so connected with my kids all day.
A perfect summer day.
