Yay - the long weekend is almost here.


Conditions at 5:15 am: 15' and clearing
Expected later: 24' and sunny!
It's going to be a beautiful day! Yesterday was supposed to be overcast and showers until noon but he sun broke out on our way into town and it stayed that way all day long. It wasn't as warm as it's meant to be today but it was humid.

James had another great day yesterday. He's made some friends at the camp and is really enjoying it now. But it's a long day for him and he's noticeably tired at the end of the day -not that he would admit it. On our way home we stopped in at Brenda and Bernie's and chatted for a few minutes. They were heading into town and we were headed to the playground. We're going to borrow their truck and Brenda's kayak on Friday morning so we can go out on the water for a bit then we will do a little motorcycle run later in the afternoon. It's been too chilly in the evening to go anywhere. Fall is definitely on the way.

We stopped at the playground on the way back and James tried out every piece of equipment and announced that it was a pretty awesome playground. Our plan was to build a fire after supper but we decided that it would be better to start the fire first and eat supper beside it so that's what we did. It took a bit of effort to start,  but we did eventually get it going. After dining on spaghetti, we had to improvise to make banana boats. I didn't have any chocolate chips but I did have toffee bits and they worked out just fine with the mini marshmallows.

When we were done our treats, we came in and started on a jig saw puzzle I had picked up earlier in the week and it's now spread out on the table. We worked on that until Big Bang was almost over so we could watch it without the commercials, and then it was time to take our books upstairs to read before turning in.  Now we have one more day before we have three  off - hooray!
