Today Jacob’s camp went to Medieval Times for their session field trip. He came back with a crown and a flag. He was so excited that I took a picture of him waving his flag for today’s picture of the day. Tomorrow is the last day of camp for the kids, this week has just flown by. They seem to be having such a great time. I’m so glad we signed them up for another week in August.

After dinner today me and the kids headed out for a little ride. Jacob rode his bike and Violet rode in the trailer. We headed to Marie Curtis Park where the kids played for a bit before we road home along the lake. I really enjoyed riding with Jacob and it’s amazing to see how much better he’s gotten in the last three weeks (POD:Learning to Ride).

Today the kids headed off to the first day of camp. They were so excited to go. Talking to them tonight during dinner they seemed to have a great time. It’s a shame they are only going to be going for two weeks over the summer.

After dinner tonight the family headed out for a short walk to get some things from the store. While we walked the kids enjoyed a Mr Freeze. I captured these pictures during out walk.

This afternoon one of Violet’s ballet friends birthday party. Both of the kids were invited to the princess themed party. One of the activities that the kids seemed to like was the tattoos. Today’s picture of the day is of Violet getting her tatoo and the finished product. Of course they are just air brushed on and will wash off in about a week. Jacob got a tattoo to but wouldn’t let me get a picture of it.

Tonight while I was sitting with the kids reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Jacob asked if he could read. What could I do but had him the book and listen to him read. He read an entire chapter. Of course Violet wanted to take a turn at reading too. Of course she’s still hasn’t learned to read so that posed a bit of a problem. I’m thinking tomorrow we’ll have to pull out the Bob books and start reading with Violet.

Today when I got home from work Violet presented to me this present. For a while now she’s been interested in envelopes and cards. So when she presented the envelope to me this evening I thought it was sweet and took some pictures as I opened it.

With swimming canceled this morning, as they cleaned up from the store, Nan took the kids on an adventure looking for new places to play. First they went to her old neighborhood to check out the Vermont Square. From there they check out Christie Pits. Today’s picture of the day is from Vermont Square. While I was going through the pictures my mom took today these one really stood out. My only question is why do the trees seem to have exhaust ports?
Tonight our fair city was hit by a rain storm and power failure. Leaving us to spend the evening in the dark. So put came the candles, I even lit up our wall mounted candle wheel. I’m impressed by how much light it provides and how pretty it looks.

For years we’ve been collecting money in an old water jug(Project 365-050: Savings Account or Toy). Thanks to our friends Jen and Bill our jug got an upgrade, from plastic to glass. The Jug is our vacation fun and the kids are really into putting any change they find into it. One of the things we’ve changed with the upgrade is that we’re keeping the pennies out of the jug. So tonight Melissa and I went through the old jug and separated all the coins and fulled up our new jug.
