Helping in the Garden

I usually have a few helpers when I'm working in the garden. One little one likes to eat anything I pull out of the garden. Especially tomatoes. This is my only child that eats raw tomatoes.

However, that's good because she really likes them and we have lots of them. Andrew comes out and helps as well. But he would rather play and talk to me and dig and spray the hose and fun stuff like that.

Cailin sometimes comes out to help. But she would much prefer to play on the iPad, the iPod, the iPhone or the iTouch. Or anything beginning with an "i".

"PRETTY!"

Well, when she says it, it sounds more like "PITY". But she is "pity" or pretty - either way, she's pretty cute!

Kamp Dels 2012

We did our annual trip to Kamp Dels this year and spent a nice long, hot week there. Having it hot was perfect. We spent most of the day, every day at the pool. We had rain overnight one night, but otherwise, it was toasty warm and sunny the whole week.

We had originally planned to go solo (just our family) but then our friends, the Frasers surprised us and ended up joining us for the week. And it was awesome because they were right next to us as well! The kids love to play together so it was a really fun suprise. Maddy loved roaming around the campsite.

The kids did bike rides.

We played at the playground.

Saw some cool animals at their 'farms'.

They rode ponies (the older two, Maddy wasn't quite old enough).

And of course, we played in the pool. A Lot!

And Mike even seemed to enjoy himself a wee little bit. Evenings after the kids went to bed, the four adults hung out by the campfire and visited while enjoying cocktails. It was a fantastic week!! We are already counting the days until our next trip, and who knows, we may stay even longer!! :)
