As you can see, we are finally getting pictures from our new camera so I
will try and post some more photos from over the past few weeks soon.
Labour Day weekend we went for a second camping adventure at Lac Phillipe in
Gatineau PArk. I think we will
return again - the 35 minute drive is really hard to beat! It is an
understatement to say that we missed Nana Lou's help but we did manage to survive. We threw in a trip to Wakefield (a little
Town nearby) for
artisan baked goods and fresh ground coffee to ensure survival.
Nobody got
swimmer's itch which is endemic in
Gatineau Park so that was good too! Perhaps
the most exciting development was Jason taking on doing the dishes - not once but twice. And
Keira seemed inspired as well so she washed
the picnic table!
Jason has started into
his new schedule. He takes the van to
Headstart in
the afternoon and so far so good.We also met with his Kindergarten teacher
this week. We are
really thrilled he is going to Churchill. He
seemed fairly comfortable with the new school and checked in with me this morning saying "Did you like my new school? It was pretty great eh?!"He also asked
the teacher is there was recess (no) and could
the kids use
the computers (yes). However
despite the overwhelming positiveness of
the change, it is still a change, and our poor little boy is having a big reaction so any positive vibes for him would go a long way.
We headed out apple picking, the kids were pro's and very good on the ladders.
After apples, we headed to the Richmond fair. Saw lots of hoard and cart competitions. The mini horse competitions were a hit with the kids. Jason also got his face painted, played a round of mini golf and went on one of the raids.
Grandad got to walk Jason to his second day of school!
