We continued to knock off items from our summer bucket list. After making it through a successful VBS, we filled our days with summer fun!
Will got his first job and received his first pay check! He delivers the area paper and flyers with the help of his trusty sidekick sister. They wander the streets of our neighbourhood with the little red wagon and cart. Right now the main adversity they've had has been some rain and wind. Just wait till winter!
Inspired by her brother's new career, Zanna started her own business - face painting. Paints had been included in a loot bag she had received from a birthday party. She set up her shop in our front driveway. So really there was no overhead. She made up a sign, came up with a business plan, made drawings to show her clients and she was ready to go! Her first customer was her big brother. Technically that was her only customer. The neighbour girl joined her and tried a hostile takeover of the business but Zanna stood her ground!
Items on our bucket list included a day trip to the water park. After dropping an ridiculous amount of money for our family to play in water that is contaminated with large quantities of sweat and sunblock, I managed to chicken out on the first ride I attempted only to slip and fall on the way back from my walk of shame. I received a HUGE bloody bruise on my thigh, scratches along my leg and several gashes on my foot. After taking some time to wallow in pity for myself, we managed to save the day and still squeeze out some fun.
Also on the bucket list was outdoor movie night. There's something magical about watching a movie outside! Complete with popcorn and pop, we had a fun night snuggled under the stars.
For the second summer in a row, we attended a Shakespeare in the Park play, The Merry Wives of Windsor. We enjoyed a picnic of homemade spring rolls and had fun watching this play on a beautiful summer evening.
We ended the month with a trip to Calgary to visit Grandpa and Grandma. We set out for a day in the mountains even visiting the resort we had our wedding reception and pictures taken in Kananaskis Country.
We also had a good time hanging around the house and property and enjoyed a camp fire, roasting marshmallows and petting the horses.
Summer has almost come to an end ...
