Fabulous Summer (#1)

A lot of catching up to do ... we've been having soooo much fun!!!

We celebrated Canada Day by returning to the Museum of Civilization. We discovered this gem of an idea last year and couldn't resist a repeat experience. The museum hosts the Children's Museum, which the kids absolutely LOVE and on Canada Day admission is free! So while the kids and I had a great time exploring inside, Mark staked a spot out on the lawn outside amidst the gathering crowd, and quietly read his book...think we may need to reverse roles next year...

The museum closed at 9pm so we had just enough time to gather and bathroom everyone (we went with some friends) do the limbo train through the crowd, and eat some snacks before the big show. FABULOUS!!!!

Moments in Nature

MOMENT #1
Inspired by reading the blog of a friend of mine, (hers was simply entitled "Green") I took a look out my window and noticed that I too, am currently surrounded by 'Green.' I had to sit for a moment and remember the days, that seem oh, so long ago, when we were surrounded by white, and once again, reflected on the faithfulness of God, and marveled at the changing seasons.




MOMENT #2
This morning I was out weeding the flower beds, and enjoyed listening to God's MP3 player, as mine appears to have stopped working. Today he had loaded for me the following songs:
Bullfrogs in the Pond; The Neighbour's Donkey Bray; The Bees' Bumble; The Hummingbird's Dance; The Birds Upon the Treetops; The Wind in the Maples; and the beat of the sun on my back.

This is My Father's World!

I Suppose...

...when your last field trip was to the Medieval Festival and you saw a lot of this....

































...you just have to expect that one day you will go outside and witness this...
