Hiking, Beach Days and Toby

This time of the year is my sweet spot:)  Warm weather, time spent outdoors, the beach.  Pure perfection.



























Fresh Co

June 18th, Sean's new Fresh Co opened!
It has been a tremendously long 7 months with Sean out of town travelling for 6 months and then the long hours as he prepared the store for opening.  It's exciting that the time has actually arrived.

The evening before the Pipeband performed and a food truck was in the parking lot so some of the higher level staff could enjoy a soft opening party.





The next morning we arrived at 6:15am for the store opening.  It had to be done before the store opened to avoid crowds.


The kids got to cut the ribbon.











First purchases in the new store!


Early June

With school finished for the year, we've started to settle into a bit of a summer routine.  It's been a little difficult with the rainy weather, but I have a deal with the kids that if it's a sunny day, we head to the beach.  
Caileigh has officially moved up to Grade 10 this coming year so her and Aiden are taking PE 10 over the summer.    By doing that, and taking Career 10 next summer, then they'll just have 5 core courses to complete during the school year.  They'll have more freedom next year to choose some fun electives.

After two years, Caileigh had her braces removed!  She has a clear retainer which she finds worse than braces but after four months she should be able to just wear it at night.

The older two need to log 10 hours of physical activity in each week.  Aiden finds it easy to complete with his biking.  We're hiking every day to help Caileigh with her hours.



Twins


I'm baking a lot.  Practicing dutch oven bread.


As an early birthday present, we bought the boys a zipline.  The first location wasn't great as it was difficult to get to and you would slam into the clubhouse at the end.




I painted the boys bedroom one Saturday and removed their bunk beds.  They love it!


Sunny = Beach Day!



  Toby finds any cozy place to sleep.  The violin lesson didn't seem to bother him in the least.



At least all the rain brings rainbows.  This one was a double.


Aiden took this picture coming home from a bike ride one evening.
