Summer Days

We have been enjoying the warm days (pool weather) and cool evenings (sleeping weather) that we have had the last few weeks.  We are taking time to notice the lightening bugs, different birds in the yard, which flowers are blooming (the kids want to sip lily nectar), the growth of the cucumbers (Addie), pumpkins (Ayson), tomatoes, sunflowers, spinach, peppers....(Adam and Amy), and the craters in the moon.   We hope all of our family and friends are taking care of themselves and being kind to themselves and others. 

Ayson putting together a lego set that he dismantled last year.  The hardest part was sifting through three bins of legos looking for the correct pieces (Amy's job since she told Ayson that before he bought a NEW set, he should reconstruct his previous sets)


Getting there!


Look who got a hair cut:)

Ayson's friend, Graham, came over to play on Thursday:  lots of video games and pool time


Fun noodle sword fight, anyone?


On Sunday, we went for a walk at Labrador (to check out the blueberry crop)


The kids still insist on wearing their masks even with no one else around.  To a kid (that does not know of anyone seriously sick), wearing a mask must feel like Halloween all year long.


Afterwards, we went strawberry picking!!  We were able to pick 4 pounds in less than 30 minutes!
