Summer?

It is finally, kind of... sort of... SUMMER! This weekend was full of lot's of fun!

Mike took Friday off, because Avery fell down the stairs... We weren't sure if we needed to take her to the hospital. So he just took the day off. A couple bruises... but she's fine! Kids are so resilient. I fall down the stairs and I'm out of commission for a few days. Nath says: I'm at the age where bones don't break... no no... they shatter. haha...

So with Mike home we all got to go the Pannenkoek Haus with Sar, Nath, Sal, Uncle Eddie & Aunt Marilyn. Mmmmm, what an excellent way to start the day! Fitting that we are all Dutch as well... So lucky it's really close to our house!!

We set up our pool when we got home!! Another really great deal on Kijiji! It was brand new, never opened still in the package. Regular 450$, we paid 200$... I'm sure our water bill will be a few hundred extra this month... so it evens out! haha. With the ground being slightly uneven, it gives the effect of having a deep end and shallow end. Seriously tho, it's going to be a blast!!
The hard part will be having to say NO to all the neighborhood kids...




For supper, we were invited to Uncle Eddie's & Aunt Marilyn's campsite for a BBQ. What a great time catching up & laughing. These two are so inspiring, with all the obstacles they have been through they still come out with an extremely positive optimistic attitude!
(I'll try & post some pictures once I get them)

Saturday morning... garage saling! Need I say more? We found a community that was having 29 garage sales! It was pretty chilly and gloomy... but on the plus side by the time we actually started garage saling, everyone was more than willing to get rid of things then stay another minute outside! We got some great deals! Some swimming toys for Avery, an amp, books for Avery, lot's of free stuff! But, the find of the day was the rare lunchbox for Mike for $1.00!!! He now matches Nath. We have been trying to find a lunchbox like this for a long time! The company was on the show Dragon's Den, and are finally going to start producing the lunchboxes once again after L. May's granddaughter took over the company. Boring?... Well, we thought it was pretty cool.




Oh also... I sold my kayak a couple weeks ago. A bit sad... but, this weekend I replaced it with the model I was looking for! We can even practice our rolls in the pool! Now we really are itching for it to be SUMMER!!!
