School is now out for the year and for the last week it's been nice weather. Warm, sunny and not overly humid. The last 2 days though that's changed. Today it was 24C, 30C with the Humidex. Sticky and gross.
Friday the local pool began it's free Friday evening family swim. We missed the first one but we're not going to miss the next... Unless it's raining.
Saturday we took Logan and 2 of his friends to "Sky's the Limit". It's a fundraiser for March of Dimes. Most of the activities were to raise money but the most fun was free and set up by the Canadian Forces. A Kiddie Commando Obstacle Course.
Things were scaled back for the kids and the "live fire" consisted of 12 or so SuperSoakers, 5 of which were stationed at the zip line. The zip line was only about 20' long but the guys would stop the slide and just hose the kids down. On the way out each kid got a certificate of participation and some other things like pens, stickers and temporary tattoos.
Logan is happy with the Wii he got and even happier with our neighbor. He's recruited Logan to help with painting and is going to pay him $40.00 or buy Logan a new Wii game. He's 8 years old and has his first "real" paying job. When I was I I think I was just out riding my bike and collecting pop bottles to return for refunds and buying candy.
I need a freaking drink. I'm starting to dehydrate.
