So thankful Nana and Papa could take Colin, Sydney and Lexi for a weekend at the Brule. And, Bill and I could stay home and not worry about traveling with the dog.
Lexi was there one other time when she was a tot, so she didn't remember it.
Colin was (sort of) ready to cut his hair. Friends of Nana's had us over to swim and Chantelle helped shape his look. It was a bit of a shock to his system. He said his head felt cold. Haha.
A crowded, but fun first time back at the lake to see family and sooo many cousins! The weather was a bit cool and rainy. The kids got creative and crafty. They even made a cafe in one of the bedrooms and encouraged everyone to ‘spread the word’ to come shopping.
The weather the second week improved and Colin, Sydney and Zoe spent a lot of time tubing off ZuZu. Nana Mary found a Upick lavender farm and we all cut some fresh gladiolus.
Tippie's had great weather to host the family at their house for food, pool time and fireworks.
So happy that we're getting vaxxed and can gather again over food and fun.
Aunt Anita hosted everyone to celebrate the new federal holiday Juneteenth.
We were able to snag a couple of outdoor camps before they filled up.
Syd enjoyed a week of tennis in 90 degree heat.
Both kids had fun with Staring Lake Outdoor camp. Each day had a different main activity - archery, biking, fort building an canoeing (when Syd, another kid and a counselor all got swimmer's itch from jumping in the lake).
This week is the highly anticipated Card Board Camp! It's Colin's 2nd year and Sydney's first. It was postponed from last year, so they've been waiting a long time. But first, we ran to get both kids covid tests since Syd felt and looked horrible yesterday. She had a fever and chills, stuffed nose and sore throat. There was a sick kid at the end of Staring Lake camp, so just to be on the safe side we wanted to confirm they are negative. A bit of anxiety this morning until we received the negative tests.
Building his shield:
Lots of emotions this last week of school. For Colin -relief. Sydney will miss her teacher and some of their class' fun activities. But, by this first week of summer, they are happy to be in a no-school routine.
