We just back for a quick trip up to Brad & Joan’s fishing cabin in Canada. Unfortunately we were only able to stay a few days of the week vacation, but we packed as much fishing, reading and relaxation as possible into those days. Dave was also testing out our new camera lenses, so of the 400 pictures (literally), here are just a few. Of course none can capture the absolute beauty of the area.
The End of Summer Camp
Sadly another summer has almost come to an end – although we’re trying to fit as much as possible into what’s left. Sophie went to camp at her school, so knew most of the other kids and teachers. She was with the “big kids” this summer, rather than the toddlers. It was a good introduction to being with the big kids, because when school starts in September she’ll be one of the younger ones in the class.
Each week camp had a different theme. Outside groups came in to the present to the school, and the kids also took field trips that fit in with the theme. Here are a few of the highlights:
Lauren’s Getting so Big!
Lauren was 7 months last week and is turning into a little kid before our eyes! She’s sitting all on her own now.
And we had her in a highchair at a restaurant for the first time last weekend down in Rock Hall, MD.
And yesterday she rode in the Kelty backpack for the first time. We hiked through Wissahickon and she just hung out, taking in all of the nature around her. This was also the first hike that we’ve done where we didn’t have to carry Sophie for part of it. Before we know it they’ll be be running along side of us!
