It's interesting that my family and I are so attracted and drawn to the water. I'm scared to death of deep water. If I can't see my feet, I don't go in it. It seem that where ever my family moves, we seek out the water. I guess it's the nature that surrounds it, the tranquility of it, the life source that it is.
We are lucky enough to just live several miles from a wonderful park in Calgary. Unfortunately Canada just celebrated Canada day and the people were out in full force. From what everyone tells me, if it's sunny, people are outside. Before we know it, cold weather will be here.
The first day when ventured out to the park I hadn't thought to put kids in swimming suits. Of course they want to go in. We started out with tucking Olivia's dress in, then just took it off. She had on a sports bra, so it didn't matter. The water is icy cold.
So many activities to do there. Young or old, we all want to play. Plus we can take the dogs there too.
This swing became a favorite of the kids. I'm such a baby. I got queasy just watching them swing.
Yesterday, our neighbor wanted us to hit the park with her. We grabbed an extra kid and headed down. It's a shame to let that extra seat in the minivan go to waste!
I'm so thankful that there are so many boys Soren's age in the neighborhood. He had a really hard time leaving his best friend in Washington.
Just one more thing to explore here in O' Canada. Taking it all in before the snow hits.
