water play
Sophia took her first trip outside the country to visit Cyrus’s family in Canada. We started with 4 days at the lake house with many of Cyrus’s extended family members.
Sophia was in heaven surrounded by family members ranging from under 1 to around 10, plus all the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. The weather was sunny and the lake was not too cold, so playing in the sand and the water was a major part of everyday’s activities. We did manage to also squeeze in kickball, red light green light, and squirt gun tag.
At night we played games and chatted around the campfire, while making and eating delectable smores.
It was a joy to see everyone, many of whom we have not seen in 7 years. After the lake, we spent a few days in Duperow enjoying each other’s company, watching the rain, taking walks and tours of the farms and digging up potatoes. Sophia had a blast playing with the all the toys Marilyn has for granddaughter and all the kids who visit.
As part of this visit we had our Christmas in July gift exchange. Of course we completely forgot about it and therefore had nothing to offer. We will however remedy that situation immediately. We did get lots of books, games, and handmade quilts from his aunt. She made us a denim one as a souvenir from the reunion and a special one for Sophia in pink, orange and yellow which are in transit-pictures will follow.
