Chill-axin July

We started off July 1st with a bang - a Canada Day run.....so much for chill-axing!! ;) Both Keziah and Lincoln ran a 1 km (I ran with Lincoln), and Nathan ran the 5 km. It was a good way to start the celebrations of our nation's birthday.
 
 
 
 
 
 
A hard run always deserves a treat of ice cream!
 

School must be done and Keziah must be home........she leaves a creative trail wherever she goes...
 

Painting rocks at 8 in the morning, the first morning of summer break. Yawn.

So fun to have friends over and make memories!
 
We've received a LOT of rain this summer, and so one day we decided to hit the mall. The kids get so excited to do this. Although the mall is only 15ish minutes away, we rarely go and so it felt like quite the treat! Even Lincoln doesn't mind - as long as he can play at some point and if we hit every.single.escalator and elevator ;)
 

Keziah's birthday once again fell in the weeks that we were gone camping and so we had a shared birthday party before we left. This was the sign she made and taped it to our door ;)
 

The birthday girls!! What's kind of neat is that to the girl to the left is a daughter of Nathan's cousin (on the Helder side), and the girl to the right is a daughter of Nathan's cousin (on the Witten side). So both are related to Keziah....I believe that makes them second cousins?!

Fishing in our pond.

So peaceful.....

"I got one!!!" Oh wait...it's a snag. A really big snag. So big the line snapped. Oops!!

And that was our July! We've enjoyed sharing a pool with others most afternoons but I realize I don't have a single picture of any of it! It was a good month - a month where I didn't want to think a single thought about school. But now, we are in August. School (for me as a teacher) will begin this Monday. 'Member all those boxes and moving? Yeah, they need to be unpacked now and a classroom needs to be set up. Thankfully the first two weeks of August were very restful as we camped so now I am getting more ready to pick up my task as teacher again.

Camping pictures next time! I hope you are enjoying your summer so far! Or winter....depending where you are from ;)
