a day in the life

Another day, another twelve hours chock full of summer activity. We had a house full of workers again yesterday so the kids and I hit the road for the morning. Elliott started the day asking "what are our options on outings?" Upon listing said options, they agreed on Butterfly World. So back to the ball pit, bouncy castles and of course butterflies.  There's a mini golf course at Butterfly World as well, I have since promised a special visit after Elliott asked if we could "go play a game of hockey there." Cody - your son needs you.

Great day with the butterflies. Kate had two on an orange and one on her shoulder. She glowed!

Look who's all grown up.  Last year E shook and swatted any time a butterfly came by. Yesterday he had one tickling his finger and another on a slice of orange.

 A bug's life.

Onto the Wharf Village and a full sized Captain Hook.

 Kate's turn.

 Now on to the really good stuff - a cinnamon Beavertail in the village.

Not enough activity? Nope. The kids rode bikes and played travelling aquarium for the afternoon.

Last night, after the kids were asleep, I got to go to the airport to pick up Aunty Rhonda, Uncle Norm and Aidan! This morning the kids refused to go to camp and have asked when Aidan is getting up a dozen times.

Surprise! Look who joined us for the morning's cartoons (4:30 Calgary time).

Three days remain of July, we're having a lovely summer but something quite shocking happened yesterday. We went by the kids' school and Elliott burst into tears saying he missed Miss Julianne and Miss Tara and all his friends.  Then Kate chimed in - no tears but a shared sentiment. Wow! Half way there guys. I'm sure I'll be battling you to get there before we know it.

xoxo CAKE
