The turtle and the ice cream
Bear with me on this post. I know it's a lot of the same pic but he's just SOOOOOOO darling!
Canada Day Picnic!
Te celebrate Canada Day (on July 1st) we went to a park that is by the river, appropriately named 'Riverside Park' heh, and had a picnic. It was a bit cold but there was a fair set up with lots of food booths, a stage where different bands played music and performed and some games for the kids. Then in the evening, we all sat by the river and watched a beautiful display of fireworks.
In this game they strapped a bungy cord to your back and you had to try to pull against it and make it to the end of that passageway before it pulled you back.
End of school!
June 29th was the last day of school for the kids. The Kindergarten class had a little graduation ceremony that the parents were invited to and it was the cutest thing. Here are the pics:
I got their first report cards and they're doing so well! They're both above the expected level for their grades and Ben is at a 2nd grade level in Reading Comprehension & Science! Lily's class had a month of swimming lessons in which she did very well and they also went on regular visits to a nice gym downtown where they practiced gymnastics.
They both really look forward to field trips and so far they've visited a farm, a lake, a Dental Center and have gone to a concert.
They've also made quite a few friends and we're entering the world of playdates, parties and sleepovers. Fun!
I'm so happy that the Lord worked it out for them to attend this school and we're all learning a lot through it. We're so happy that summer is here now!

Ben's 6th Birthday!
Ben-benino is 6 years old! He was looking forward to his party for so long, it was super cute! The theme, of course, was dinosaurs! He asked us if he could invite some of his friends from kindergarten and he drew the invitations himself, check them out:
I will let the photos tell you the rest of it:
Blowing out the candles.
We also made these muffins to go with the cake. They were supposed to be dinosaur nests with the eggs in them. (We wanted to buy these little speckled chocolate eggs that would've looked great but they only sell them around Easter.) Ben loved them!
Even the 'older kids' had fun with the baby toys, heh.
