First two weeks of summer.
The first week of the summer was mostly consumed by swimming lessons. This is the first time we have done a week long lesson rather than weekly lessons and the first time we have done outdoor lessons. We lucked out as the week was the sunniest we have seen all summer. SO MUCH RAIN this year!
We managed to get signed up for the summer reading club at the library, and go to a few different parks. We had some fun at the skate park with the scooters, and my cousin Megan came to stay for a night and watch Easton's soccer game before heading off to a wedding up north.
On the weekend Brian came home from Boston late but the LAN party was already started when he arrived close to midnight. 5 guys... having a fun summer weekend!
I took the kids strawberry picking and I think all the guys were thankful for the fresh summer fruit snack. MMmmmmmm, Ontario strawberries!
This week I took the kids for their dentists appointments and I was able to take an afternoon to go into Toronto to spend the day with two old room-mates from post secondary. One was just in for the summer from South Africa this time living with her brother in Toronto... I think teaching in China is up next for her. The other lives in Brantford, so Toronto seemed the mid point to meet and it worked out. We had a long lunch and then walked around to Nathan Phillips Square, the Eaton's Centre, enjoyed a free 7/11 slurpee for their birthday and eventually found our way to John Street for more food.
We have had one playdate with Hadley's friend Ariana for about three hours at a splashpad/park. I think the girls loved it!
We have filled our three feet deep pool and had some outdoor fun for hours in the backyard.
We are about two weeks into summer holidays and I can't believe how fast it has gone already.
