Summer Break week 7

wow...

week seven.

(yet again I'm posting this when the next week is almost at a close)

the littles were at VBS each morning and the brothers were at Blaze Daycamp.

on Thursday after dropping off the brothers at the bus

*with their sleeping bags and pillows - - it was campout night that night*

we headed to Tim Hortons, but got it at the drive thru.

then we headed to the locks before vbs.

what a beautiful morning.

that afternoon we came home and the kids made cool little dinosaurs.

*dollarama craft for the win*

Thursday night the littles had a sleepover at our place.

friday they headed to their final VBS day.

i headed out with a beautiful lady, my girl's grade one teacher.

we went to The Artful Garden

*i highly recommend it*

then back to the hotdog lunch at VBS.

She invited me and the littles to her place for swimming in her pool.

that evening was the BBQ celebration at Blaze.

what a wonderful week all the kids had.

i am so thankful for the organizers of both Blaze and VBS

i am thankful for the volunteers who made this week challenging, exciting and memorable for the kids at both places.

Friday night dan and i went out.

he had bought me tickets to a concert for my birthday and friday night was the night.

Saturday

not a whole lot going on.

the kids got to be the first people to drink out of my new mugs

Sunday i volunteered at the church

Monday:

it was a rainy day, and this beautiful rainbow showed up later on.

Wednesday:

Deep Sea Discovery Day 3

and then to the docks.

the storm clouds never arrived but we enjoyed watching them

it makes me sad to think that our summer break is almost done, 

but we are going to keep celebrating summer and our time.

i hope you are doing that.

prepare for school but enjoy the present.

for those already in school, 

i hope you enjoyed your summer and take advantage of the beautiful weather in the evenings and weekends.
