summertime!

Today Sebastian finished his week of day camp. He went with a friend. It was his first all-day camp and he had a blast. The camp is a private one, run on a farm. He swam, canoed, saw the animals, sang lots of songs and did lots of hiking. They also have archery and mountain biking but due to the amount of rain this week, the younger group didn't fit those activities in. Sebastian was excited to ride the bus to and from camp and every meal he ate there was described as "the best ever!" He's already talking about next year.

Ayla got to spend time with her babysitter this week, in the mornings, while I got lots of cleaning and organizing done. She loved the attention of course. Today, it was just her and I. It's great to have that time with her, when things can be done at her pace, without her always feeling the need to keep up with Sebastian.

A new camera!!

Oscar and I went out (by ourselves!!) today and purchased a new camera. We've been without one for the last two months and I've been eager to get one to capture some of our summer pictures. Ayla was a willing model for me as I tried it out today. We also took some of Sebastian at soccer. Including one right before the goalie kicked the ball which him in the face and cut his lip. Last time he played, he hit heads with another player. Poor kid!
