Well, the obvious comes to mind right off – Canada Day and Independence Day. We celebrate both, of course. Canada Day (HERE) always makes me a wee bit homesick. July 4th (HERE) was fun as well. July is also Grandma’s birthday up in Canada. And full blown summer fun here in Minnesota.
We lucked out and managed to make Home Depot where the kids made little bowling alleys. Which were PERFECT for the 18 inch dolls, I am told.
I managed to finish a prayer shawl for the Catholic church down the road, along with a pocket prayer shawl.
We spent TONS of time at the YMCA.
Emanuel got over his fear of the slide
Walked back and forth for ClubY.
We hung out in the hammock.
