The old swing set....and summer

So the family worked on fixing up the old swing set in my mother's yard today. It was a lot of hard work but we all had a blast. I think when work is fun it goes much much faster. All the kids were so excited as we put climbing rocks, a new set of swings on and generally fixed it up for them. They had to try it out as we worked. We had so many good laughs. My sister and her franglaise. She is hilarious! My baby girl discovered ribs. She gnawed on a bone forever. My mom, well, she was so happy to get help finishing the project she started in May. It's days like today that make me appreciate my family.

Oh yeah! The lead up to this was yesterday's event! My brother Kakwiranoron and Sarah got married! Waneek and I cooked up a storm! What a day!

I haven't written for a while...so much has changed and actually things are great. I have had a productive and busy summer with my family. We camped in Lake Placid and Lake George. I can't remember the last time I went camping. It was loads of fun. My baby girl was food for the mosquitoes but she survived it all. In fact she became a brown baby in the process. The camp ground in Lake Placid was quite unique for the fact that there was a waterfall and free wifi. Yep, you read it right, wifi. It was quite hilarious to be able to sit in your tent and surf. My mom would go on her computer in her tent and catch up on all the news around the world. In Lake George the situation was a bit different. It was more rustic. Though, the main building had a dj and music for teens every night. All the pre-teens in our party loooooved it! The little ones had a blast dancing as well. I thought my little girl dancing her heart out was soooo cute. The weather was nice and we managed not to get any rain until the final day. Unfortunately my mom forgot to close the window on my tent and I had a puddle in the middle. It was part of the experience. When I got home I found I appreciate brewed coffee more so than before. When you don't have to walk to the water pump each morning to wash the pot and get new water, it just makes it all the more special.

Well, it's been a busy day. I have another busy week.
