here we go!

Life lately... 

late bedtimes, soccer, bonfires, strawberry picking, trips to the beach, last days of school, reading Harry Potter (2), hikes in the woods, gardening, growing up and getting her ears pierced, growing up and graduating from Beavers, a Father's Day pizza picnic on the beach.

Time is skipping by, and already we are at the beginning of July. This next month will bring us camping at Blomidon PP, Canada Day 150 in Halifax, and a much anticipated 5 day camping trip to Cape Breton. There will be more soccer, some day camps, the summer reading program and swimming lessons too. And of course plenty of unplanned adventures, such as picnics, ice cream missions, beach days and more. 

I'm ready for summer. I'm ready to spend time with the kids, on our own agenda. I'm ready to slow things down or speed up the pace ... what ever we need. I'm ready for time outside. Coffee on the back porch. Veggies from the garden. Reading on a blanket. Movies in the backyard, and sketch book art. 

Here we go folks! Summer is here.
