Victoria Day Off :)

Jon was missing his parents and wanted a day to sit by the pool - I often forget that he misses out on that, because we come down when he is at camp. So we packed up and headed down there! It was nice and hot out and we spent the day by the pool and I didn't take any pictures... opps! Jon headed back up to camp on Sunday and I stayed for an extra night down there. Canoe Expedition was happening, and Jon opted to stay back from the trip with Jenna to give her some more one on one training and to try and rest his back. (Not sure if I have mentioned that or not? He hurt his back really bad, and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. Yikes! He is in so much pain, but never complains or says anything. I feel awful for him). 

I went with Lois and Quinny Sunday morning to go to the book store because THIS BOOK FINALLY CAME OUT!!!!! The 'eighth' Harry Potter! It's a play rather than a book, but I was still really really looking forward to reading it. My love for Harry Potter runs deep - I think JK Rowling is such a genius with her writing. I have loved these books since I have been 11 years old (same age as Harry when the series starts!) and the books first came out! I have a few opinions on this new 'book' but I can save those for a face to face conversation if you ask me about it :)

Nannie got her girl a Frozen sticker book and stickers to go with it and they sat for a long time doing that (with a new mishaps!). I love watching Lois with Quinny... she is SO unbelievably patient with her and you can just see how much she loves her. I might be biased, but I think these two have a pretty special and unique bond :)

She spent a lot of time in the pool over the weekend! She loves to swim SO much and is such a water baby, still! I bought her a new bathing suit for the pool there, but she wouldn't come out of the water long enough to let me get a picture of it haha. This year, I let her swim without an adult in there with her, but we have to be RIGHT THERE, watching carefully. I still prefer someone to be in the water with her, but as long as it's someone attentive watching, I am okay with this! She usually convinces someone to come with her anyways, often times her Papa

Nannie and Papa took her to the park that night and I got a little while to myself! Win win

I would say she is quite happy to be there with them :)

Family Camp was underway at main site, and with Jon staying back from the canoe trip, he would be working on main this week! Luke and Care were going up for the week to volunteer and take in the week! So Lois drove me and Quinny and Care up there on Monday afternoon... we had a lovely few days off and it was so nice to spend time with them!
