This morning we were marveling at God's beauty with the fog still rolling in the fields and the sun showing it's brilliance above, absolutely stunning. Of course we had to be outside and enjoy it. We didn't take a 'break' last week since we ran a Worship Camp, so I had the kids still do some school while I was preparing each day. So this week we are going to add some extra fun to our days!
First, we learned about Saskatchewan together, which was more fun than j thought it would be. Then we dove into microwaves, mostly how they work and how they were invented, the videos we found on this were interesting! After this, we spoke and sang in Spanish, which is always a fun time, and finally, the kids took turns with their typing class and played outside.
So far this doesn't seem very exciting I know, but it really was!
I decided to try BBQ-ing (for the first time) and grilled us up some hot dogs :) and made a homemade salad dressing for our spinach salad- delicious!
After we were energized we went on a biking adventure. The road we choose happened to be all torn up, but we continued on.
Last year when we went biking, I would sometimes bike at the front and then wait for the kids to catch up, then continue. Today, I was at the back of the pack to start and quite glad for it! I caught up to them once we got to the hills though:)
We took part of the Cataraqui Trail and soon realized this adventure was going to get messy! Some wanted to turn around and go home, but we kept going! Through big mud puddles, soaking wet muddy grass and just a big mess we biked! Once we got to the end we realized, we still had to bike all the way back home!
It seemed to go much quicker until... Rachel's chain came off....
After we all oiled our hands quite well trying to put it back on we came to the conclusion that we were not going to get it on. So Rachel took my bike and I jogged with hers- my training is paying off :)!
After just over a kilometer I was very happy to see a young man outside his house working. He kindly helped us, with the assistance of tools, and we were on the road again.
I must say, we all have a greater appreciation for pavement and the wonderful work that Tim does :)
The cookies just came out of the oven to thank the young man for his help! I don't think I could have kept up much longer.
Today's adventure is not yet over, as the clothes dry on the line, Ryan sits with a new friend playing guitar, and Rachel works away at a puzzle, we are all thankful and refreshed by this gifted day from God!
