We've had a few adventures this week. Yesterday afternoon we went to the Sooke Potholes for the first time visit Dylans best friend and his family, who were camping. The boys had a great time bobbing in the river and skipping rocks. We had hotdogs over the fire and the kids played and played till we had to head for home. It is absolutely gorgeous up there well worth the visit. That was the first time we have seen the popular Deer Lodge - what an amazing place that would have been - perched right above the river with a waterfall in view - just amazing.
Last weekend we all went downtown on the bus for symphony splash. It was a beautiful night, completely clear and LOADS of people everywhere. We spent the evening with my Aunt and Uncle and all my cousins and GG too. It was so wonderful we had a great time. Unfortunately we had to catch a bus home so we left around 9pm and made it home around 10:30 - the kids were bagged, and on the way home asked that we stay home the next day. They had a blast goofing around with my cousins and watching all the boats from the top deck. What a fun afternoon.
A close friend of mine (and my whole family) just had a new baby girl Jamiesynn, so we celebrated with a baby shower in my moms back garden - it was a great afternoon Tayler and Jessie were having a tea party with their new friend Veasia- so adorable.
Today it has rained most of the day, but the kids still insisted on building a railroad in the pouring rain in the backyard - total outdoor kids.
I still can't believe the summer is half over - we are starting the bed time routines and trying very hard to keep up with the math and reading - but the days fly by so fast I find we are having trouble keeping up.
Anyway take care Love Kelly and the gang

I don't think I've been to the potholes since I was a kid... Really should head out there soon!
