Farm visits, strawberry picking and swimming lessons!

We've been to the splash pad by our house many, many times this past two weeks since it's been so hot. This day it wasn't quite as warm and they rode their bikes/scooters thru the sprinklers since no-one else was there. Somehow this was so much more fun than just running through it!



This photo was on my phone and I couldn't resist...can't wait to meet the owner of these beautiful toes in October! (Baby girl Lam just incase there is any confusion that I haven't told you all something?!)


Fun day at Brooks farms with friends











Also found on my phone...another 40ish photos of Immys face....


and a random shot of 'tiger' (very clear photo Immy, well done!)

Still waking up one morning and playing games on the couch!


David was stuck in Calgary on the day when the flooding got really bad. I was worried he wouldn't make it back to the airport so I put on the news in the morning to watch what was going on. Would you believe that the kids have never ever seen the news on TV before! I generally don't watch it as a rule. One because it depresses me and two because I don't think most news stories are anything a child needs to be exposed to. However I made an exception for this and the two of them couldn't be torn away from the TV. They have been playing 'news' ever since! After breakfast Eli was straight up to his room to go and get dressed like a news reporter!! I love the contrasting pattern of shirt/shorts!


And it so happened to co-incide with the last day of school work for us for our summer break! Here he is still in his reporter gear finishing the last bits of work from Grade 1!


Not to be left out here's Immy colouring on our last day of school!

Another random photo on my phone from Helen that I had to include for when I look back at the blog in years to come as it made me laugh for days.  Zachs preschool graduation picture with caption written by his ESL teacher lol!!!


Photos below of strawberry picking...this is the temp when we were there. We barely lasted half an hour it was way too hot. Check out the 'feels like' part.



Eli picking below. He won't eat strawberries raw but took the whole thing very seriously as he wanted to make jam! Which we did as soon as we got home and it was delicious!




The kids are taking swimming lessons in a outdoor pool. Eli's favourite part is waiting on the hammock while Immy has her turn!








And lastly playing an in indoor play place this week to escape the heat!
