Relaxing in Ross River

Matt spent the last week working in Ross River since they were short-staffed. The kids and I headed over Thursday morning to spend time with Daddy and to procrastinate from my house and yard work.

The four days were so relaxing and Matt didn't have to spend much time at the heath centre on the weekend. Our days were filled with walks, playing with RCMP families and Kennie the teacher, chasing squirrels, more walks, throwing rocks into the river, walking over the bridge, scraping knees and heads, napping, watching cartoons and movies and even more walking. I feel so relaxed! The community was a near ghost town other than the drunks that were yelling and fighting outside the nursing residence on Saturday night/morning.

July is half over and I know I will blink and September will be here. The rest of our summer is jammed packed with a trip to see my parents, a week camping with them back up here, two weeks in Mayo while Matt is working and then lots of hunting! This is the best summer we have had in a long time.

To go there and back is over half a kilometer!

Throwing rocks- the favorite past-time!

Entranced with cartoons we don't get a home since we only get CBC.
The rubbermaid was used as a boat, a train and a doghouse this weekend.

Look at that grubby tanned face!

oh Kara, just look at them. Precious all three, content boys at peace on dad. I just love it girl. You guys are doing it all right. Ware their butts out all day, make them exercise, feed them good stuff, and put them down. Wonderful. Kayah/Susan

You have to frame that photo of Hunter eating corn, and also enter it into a photo contest. You would win hands down!
