Summer fun




Today playgroup was at Avonmore playground. It is a great park as there is a lot of things to play on and there is a wading pool too. We arrived at about 10:30 and stayed until about 2:30. The kids all had a great time. Brendan had a book with him and was reading quite a bit - it is sad to see that playgroup does not hold the same fascination as it used to for him, but at age 11 he is starting to grow up. He did have fun playing a bit though. The girls all had a great time - there was a big group of kids there from a daycare and the girls made some new friends. Other than Rebecca face-planting in the sand it was a fairly stress-free day. Thank goodness for playgroup days!! Sarah tried out the sand and the water on her toes and she seemed to enjoy that too. I took the kids over to Dairy Queen for an ice cream cone after we left ($8.50 for 5 kids cones - gag!!), and other than Becky being covered in ice cream (totally expected) they enjoyed those too! Brendan decided that Sarah needed some too - I asked him if he gave her some and he said "Only little bits". Oh well, there's no turning back now - she will be destined to love ice cream as much as all the others!!

After all the stuff we fed Brendan when he was little... I guess it's fair play for him to feed Sarah stuff!
