There's nothing like a fair in the Zeller's parking lot to bring back childhood memories and rob you of every last cent. DK were big enough for many 'big kid' rides this time around and even had their first experience with the Gravitron (renamed the Starship 3000 apparently). Mara could ride a few rides with us tagging along beside her...but she didn't seem to mind.
Drew participated in his first school-wide track meet and thought he hit the big time when he found out it was held at a 'real' track, The Rotary Bowl. He placed 2nd in the 100m and 4th in both the 200m & 400m. His softball throw was impressive but unfortunately was not in the Top 5 against those big, bad Grade 4-ers. He's got his sights set on big wins next year.
Nana came for a visit mid-month and we took advantage of a beautiful weekend to splash around in Tofino & fly kites in Parksville. Mara splashed a little more than the rest of us and her naked bliss on the beach has changed her into a die hard nudest.
"Mara, let's go to the park!"
"Can I be naked?"
"No."
"Then, no thank you."
