Well we have said good bye to preschool for Nathanh and pre-preschool for Thianna. I can't believe Nathanh will be going to kindergarten in September. But for now we will enjoy our summer before big changes.
On Canada Day we headed out for a few days of camping to begin the summer season. Erwin was able to take the two days following Canada Day off so we were truly able to enjoy an extra long weekend. This year we rented a trailer for the first time so that we could take all of our bikes as well as the camping gear. It worked out well and we got to bike ride with the kids everyday on quiet, paved roads.
Our camping trip was to Lac Le Jeune, about a four hour drive from our home. It was absolutely beautiful and just the relaxation time that we needed as a family. Our days were spent riding bikes, swimming, playing at the playground and telling stories. Nathanh loves hearing stories about when mommy and daddy were little and Thianna loves telling stories about Minnie Mouse!

On one of our many bike rides. Thianna has become so strong. When we first got he bike she couldn't even make it up the slight incline of our cul de sac. Now she is riding up some pretty big hills. There was only one at the campsite that she had to walk her bike up.
One morning the campsite had a learn to fish program for the kids. So, always wanting to get the most out of my tax dollars, I made sure we were there! Thianna loved the experience but I think she liked the tattoo at the end more! Nathanh was quite serious about it and stuck with it for an hour and a half!
They looked so cute that we were asked to sign a photo release for them. So who knows maybe they'll tu up in a fishing brochure!

Calling it a day:)
Being bugs - using the noodles as antenna.
We bought a little boat for the water. Thianna preferred just swimming but Nathanh liked practicing rowing. Of course they both liked playing in it!
We went to a moose presentation one evening, this is them being moose:) They
got certificates and antlers...oh and the part they remember the most - Canada suckers!
Sadly our trip had to come to an end but I think it is safe to say thatThianna enjoyed her first camping experience- especially the marshmallows!
Stay tuned for more summer fun!
