July Already

Where is summer going?! But I must say we’ve been living it up!! We have been hit with a heat wave here in good ol’ Manitoba! Upper 80’s and even in the 90’s a few days. The other day it was temps like that and 76% humidity! I almost thought I was back in the south! Lol! 

The last weekend of June we went camping at Falcon Lake with Mikey and Tiff. The weather was beautiful! Hot in the day and cooled off to about 70 at night. Georgia definitely had her moments, but I did notice she had 2 molars trying to come in so I’m hoping it was more that that caused the melt downs rather than lack of training! But do tell me how do you discipline at a camp ground?! The first night she barfed in the tent after a fit of crying and being mad about going to bed. Then around 2:30 decided she would not sleep in her playpen so put her between Kelly and I. I gave up trying to sleep like that and moved in between the boys. I didn’t get a lot of sleep that night. The second night I pushed her for miles in her stroller and then pulled her in the chariot for miles and finally drove around in the pickup before she finally gave into sleep! But we all slept wondrously! All that aside, we spent many hours on the boat and swimming! I think I’m ready to go again??? I better be cause we’re going again next weekend!

This last week is when it’s been so nice and warm. We went to Rosewood to Jason and Lynn’s on Monday for a pool party. The kids always have so much fun with their kids! They have 2 sets of twins plus 2 more! We had wings and homemade donuts for supper!

Tuesday we went to swim with Phyl in the pond. They’ve redone their pond and added a little sand beach. Between the paddle boat, dock, diving board, and rope swing there was no one bored! Almost like John’s Pond days, we were just missing the high dive to lay out on (and maybe the guys that always drove by?)!

Canada Day! We had no plans and Kelly was working so Sherilee and I decided we’d go to Russ’s pool and the guys could come whenever they were done work. Ended up inviting Evan’s and Barry’s too! Was a lot of fun and all the kids seemed to enjoy themselves enough that we could all have a good time! Grilled burgers for supper and had milkshakes later on. 

Thursday was us girls day at the pool. Melissa gets the pool one day a week and the rest of us get to join her. (Wanda, Tiff, Stacy, Tamara, and of course kiddos)
I ended up leaving the boys there and going home to finish up packing and cleaning up the house before we left for Kenora. A lot easier to do that when you’re the only one in the house! 

Another lovely day on today! Spent a lot of time in the lake with Gloria! The boys of course were thrilled to spend the day with Jessi. Going from playing at folks to back down at Steve’s to in the lake! And I’m sure that’s how it will be for the rest of the weekend!
