Got pretty filled up too
No real lazy days of summery nothing much to do
And yet, somehow, just right
Grace sang again at the Glebe Centre
Much appreciated, especially since Aiden joined in
Mom tried out AquaFit class
And discovered that a morning run and a lunch time AquaFit is a bit too much
A great recipe for a solid afternoon nap
A few park days fit in
A splash pad evening
An over lunch time meeting with homeschool friends
An on the way home stop for some extended monkey bar practice
We made it to some friends' hobby farm for an afternoon
No one wanted to leave!
Watching a baby chick begin to hatch
Exploring the woods
Whirl pooling the backyard pool
Normal life extras:
Friends over for supper
Daddy to a Redblacks game
Skype calls with far away friends
Lots and lots of backyard raspberry recipes
Muffins galore and even a pie
And a once in a lifetime Canada150 opportunityLa Machines in downtown Ottawa
We took the bus (our first time, and we almost missed it!)
Braved the crushing crowds
Got close to Kumo the spider to watch it wake up
Surprisingly was passed closely by Long Ma the dragon horse
Discovered Jasmin's violin teacher in the mobile orchestra
And in-between we tackled a 3 page long to do list
Preparing our house for our Airbnb guests while we're away this month
Fixing all those little things to be fixed "sometime when I have time"
And at the same time planning and preparing ourselves
For the long drive to Halifax
A month at Imma's house
As many meetings with dear ones as we can fit in
And school for when we return
We made it!
Everything got done
Nothing left behind (nothing important at least)
Only took us an extra hour than we budgeted
And here we are enjoying ourselves
