... that I should write a little bit about how our summer is going, but I also keep thinking that there isn't much to tell as we practically live by the pool. I bake a cake ... the kids munch it up - I bake another and pretty soon all the neighborhood kids are hanging out by the pool too!
Jack made Quesadilla and salsa one night - very very proud of himself !
We have been super lucky with the weather this year - I know that Europe hasn't, and I am really not trying to rub it in, but in the last month there has only been two days where I haven't been in the pool - and really it wasn't that it was that bad - it was just that it was not the 30 degrees we've had every day - or more!
Of things done in July I guess for Anna the top of the list has to be that she finally got to go see Taylor Swift - and I will say that although I wasn't looking forward to it, I did kind of get in the mood the days up to and once there we had a really good time. Taylor Swift is perfect for a first time at a concert and now that she knows what a concert really is, Anna says she wants to go again - but that she wants to sit in the first row - duh!!!
We went on our yearly trip to Park Omega this weekend and said hi to the bears, the goats and the wolves - and the many many deer we love to feed. - I'm happy to say that this year the mountain goats did not try to come through the windows and we managed to get through the whole park without getting a scratch on the car! It is a lovely park - the animals are amazing and it feels right as it is only Canadian wildlife - you don't bump into an elephant or giraffe, which makes it seem right and real!
Bob is still doing amazing with the implant - when he flew back to Calgary after it being switched on he managed for the first time ever to actually hear what the safety meassures in case of an emergency ... and he has only been flying thousands and thousands of kilometres in his life - thank god he didn't need to know them before :)
Casper finally managed to "kill" his Christmas pig ... and this was only the beginning - the fluff is everywhere!!
Oh - I hear kids screaming for me - it's pool time ... and after that - a lovely gooey chocolate cake ...
