Close to Home


Lots of travel and activity for these kids lately, so we decided to spend our Sunday in and around the house. With iffy weather in the forecast for the afternoon, we made the most of our morning by working outside on the garden and rearranging our overpacked and messy garage. If Oliver and Isabelle didn't have so many vehicles of their own, we might have an outside shot at fitting our van in there now! The kids were happy to goof around by sitting in the kayak and sifting through some old boxes for treasure. Isabelle was certainly happy to find 3 decks of cards, fitting since she got hooked on then when her grandparents came for a visit a couple of weeks ago. The rain held off until late afternoon, when it came down fast and furious. When it departed, Isabelle and Oliver were off in search of puddles to jump in. Along the recreational path we found those and some feathered friends too. It was a great end to a weekend, a day spent together as a family and showing how much fun you can have even when you are doing chores or staying within a few hundred metres of your home. No agendas, no appointments, no events...no problem!

Horse and shark join us for a walk along the lake


Who says you can't have fun staying around the house?
