Good Luck Catching Us Inside!

What a superb week of warm sunny weather! We would roll out of bed and begin our morning on the deck in the beautiful sunshine with coffee / juice in hand and then transition to a morning swim before our shower! The only time we were inside was for routines like eating or preparing to go out. I LOVE SUMMER!

Friday we were at the Arboretum with our Young Homeschoolers friends. This dragonfly was about two inches in length and kept taunting me. It would zoom by but by the time I had my camera in hand it would disappear. I finally caught it for a brief second on this rock!

The girls found a new fort to play in deep under the Willows and brush. Only spies were allowed.

One of my favourite parts about homeschooling is the fact the kids get to play and interact with kids of all ages. Here little Ika plays peek-a-b00 with the girls.

Tree Sprites

If trees could talk I would love to hear the tales this one has to tell.

Mr. Photogenic himself. The epitome of a little boy!

After our group, Bella came home with us for a sleepover! It was soooooo fun. Swimming, jumping, Karate, campfire. So much to do so little time to do it.

Back in the pool.

Drying off again on the warm sunny trampoline.

One last dip

BEST SISTERS!

Bella came to Karate to watch then when we got home Sid wanted to teach Bella. "Come on Bella, shrimp! Try to shrimp and get away!!!"

We had a campfire with live music!

I call this pic The Dark Side.

Campfire science. What burns, what smokes?

Yup, the bugs are that bad in June.

It was wonderful having Sid's best friend over. We have decided that once a month she will come here and once a month Sid will sleep there. The girls are thrilled with this arrangement!

This week was the last gymnastic class for this session. Sid has been invited to start the instructional classes and we will look into that for the fall. Those classes are an hour and a half so we will see where she is at with her Karate then.

Hoooray!

This is my favourite pic of the week. Groovy waiting for her turn in the pool!!!!

We took the bikes and the girls to the big park with the splash pad on Monday.
Bella now rides too! I love the picture of the two of them riding together. That is another childhood milestone. I remember spending hours on my bike with my friends.

What an awesome week it was!
