Camping trip and more...

Hi there! It has been a while since my last post! Busy anyone? This summer seems to go by so fast! We have been filling up our freezers with berries, harvesting beans, kale and cherry tomatoes. Swimming in a creek, hiking and biking a lot. The weather has been beautiful and Eli is trying t keep our lawn well watered while raising a butterfly that turned out to be a moth after all. Tim took these cute pics of our little girls. They are growing up so fast! I think we might have another gifted musician in our family! Lucie loves playing the piano with Eli.  The kiddos are trying to make some money this summer at local craft fairs! Here they are selling bookmarks, herbs, peppermint tea and lip balm.They did great! Eli worked really hard to put this peppermint tea on a shelf! Good job, son!  Sofia has been busy hand picking our calendula and making lip balm! Most of her buyers were girls her age! Good job, my little princess! Both Eli and Sofia

The Joys of Summer

We love summer! The kids spend a lot of time outside running in sprinklers, chasing each other, jumping in a pool...so much fun!  July 1st was  Canada Day and Tim had a day off. We decided to go camping to Lake Wanachee and visit our good friends Dustin and Nicole. It was so nice to see them again and the kids had a lot of fun playing together. It was REALLY hot! We took just a short walk and then cooled off at the lake. The lake is really cold but it felt so good to jump in! The kids had fun too!  Nicole is expecting another boy in October! Looking great, mama! Camping is our favorite summer activity. We finally decided to dump our old, moldy, leaky, small tent and purchased this luxurious 6 person tent. It has two separate rooms and enough room for 5 more kids! Tim and I also got sleeping pads and it was the first time that we actually slept on a camping trip! So great! Getting the fire going for breakfast! Eggs and sausage! Yum!
