We went out in kayaks with friends this morning. Last few days before school starts on Wednesday.

Laura and Colin hosted a surprise party for Katie. It included hand made cards, presents, baking a cake, singing and at least 3 games with all the invited guests. It went on for over 3 hrs.

This was the present opening part of the party.

The farmers’ market had face-painting and a bouncy castle today. Getting one’s face painted and then bouncing results in a rather smudged face when it’s over 100 degrees outside. Laura chose a dog face and so Colin had to have the same.

It was the start-of-year ice cream social at school yesterday. Colin had great fun seeing his friends from last year and tearing around, then enjoyed cooling off with his Popsicle. Laura was so busy with her friends that we couldn’t find her for a photo.

Colin shooed me away the other day. There was no way we were going to the playground until he finished reading this motorcycle magazine. I even got a narrative, “This is one kind of engine, and this is the other kind if engine…”

A busy day today. We weeded out and packed away a selection of the Grade 2 work and got our supplies ready for Grade 3.
Then headed to the climbing gym for a few hours this afternoon with our friends Anna and Duncan.

The dance studio needed a model for the “photo package”. Out of all the photos taken last year, they chose one of Laura’s!

Colin is back with Coach Kevin for gymnastics again. He’s thrilled! Same size class this year as last.

The Percy’s were in town for a vacation/work trip and came to visit. The kids had a great time playing Wii! Colin and Andrew were a kart racing “team”.
