Camp
The last two weeks have been quite nice. Easton was at hockey camp for a week and Hadley at Camp Can-Aqua for a week.
This meant I had a full week with each kid to get back to school shopping done, shoes, clothes, back packs etc. Plus I was able to spend quality time with each kid.
After the run around, Hadley was ready to just chill at home and enjoy time not being out, she was given the opportunity to suggest anything but she just wanted to be at home, so we did that. We played Barbies, watched movies and shows, and went for a walk down our road. Easton pretty much did exercise from morning to night while at hockey camp. He was home each evening but the days were spent at camp.
For Easton's mommy week, he was ready with a list of things he wanted to do on "his time" after we got the back to school shopping done. We went glow in the dark mini golfing, went to laser quest, and enjoyed a day with our friends Melissa and Cailum at their new trailer. Swimming, fishing (where Easton caught 4 fish! He wasn't into baiting the hook or taking the fish off but loved catching the fish!), and shuffle board.
Today was a low key day where we spent time building a lego set he got for Christmas and Easton totally beat me at Monopoly.
Later today we get to pick up Hadley. I am so excited to see her! I can't wait to hear all about her adventures!
So... the bus was late. It had mechanical failures before it arrived at camp to take the kids home... so they continued with programming until it arrived...6 hours later. At least the failure was before pick up and the kids weren't on the side of the road somewhere.
So...it's 10pm, and she is finally home tucked into bed.
Hadley was beautifully happy the entire ride home. She shared so much detail about her week. Talked about friends she had made, crafts she had done, food that she ate, and dance/drama routines that made her happy. She was happy about her cabin mates, and leaders, she washed herself with her biodegradable soap once in the lake... so she's pretty clean. A real shower can come tomorrow. She was glad the main competition ran in a different way than it had the year before and was okay with the fact that they didn't win, because it was more fun how it was done this year. She had toffee on the snow. She had a different cabin this year but was perfectly okay with it. I loved seeing her this happy!
She was excited to get home to her cats though, and a real bed without a sleeping bag. I think she missed the cats and her bed as much as I missed her.
Honestly, I am so thankful for her happy week!
