In late June and early July Laura went to an all girls summer camp and had a great time.
When I went to pick her up I got to see her do some of her activities.
Tennis, horseback riding, gymnastics, arts and crafts, and swimming.
She also did waterskiing, archery, and table tennis, but I didn’t get to see those.
We are off to camp one week from yesterday. They need a photo to help match parents to kids in case of an emergency. It isn’t easy to get a family photo.
The best thing about the new grocery store is the small carts. I feel like a train moving through the store. A locomotive with 2 cars pulling behind.
Usually the pictures are of our children. Today I want to share a picture that makes me very happy. Grandpa with his newest grandchild, 6 week old Shelby, singing songs. One very happy man.
MacDougall dislikes thunder and has found the laundry room to be the quietest hiding spot in he new house. Laura felt he shouldn’t be alone and sat with him through the worst of the storms.
It has been a busy time here unpacking. Ken and Margaret are visiting and being a huge help with unpacking and playing with kids and helping the house feel like ours.
We set the swing in the back yard to a size that both Colin and Laura could reach. Then Colin came up with the game of kicking boxes over. It was great fun.
We were at the new house setting up services and having it thoroughly cleaned (it needed it). As there is no furniture at all in the house, Colin and I had a picnic lunch on the floor. Colin decided he wanted to have his behind the curtains that cover the front room’s bow window. They are also perfect for putting on plays from the stage that’s created behind them when closed.
Most of the children at the neighbourhood Independence Day celebration opted for something a little more patriotic. Not Colin – he was certain he wanted to be a dinosaur.
