Summer Vacation - Day One

Today officially began the kids summer holidays and the weather is certainly cooperating. It was a beautiful 28 degrees and sunny. Fortunately, there was a bit of a wind which kept the bugs away.

Another busy day at the Taylor household. The kids slept out in the tent last night and were a little noisy when they came in/out/in/out this morning. I could not sleep through all the racket so I got up and went the store till 1pm. Nicole was up around 10 and took the gang grocery shopping.

The afternoon was rather laid back. Our neighbour helped me fix Jacob's bike chain so now I am able to use my own bike again. Nicole had a mid-afternoon nap so the kids and I went for a bike ride to the community centre....



and down to the river where we found two bikes that someone had pushed off the cliff.


We rented "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" which was just like most sequals; awful. Still, when it only costs 99 cents to rent a DVD at NIKKO's automated store who can complain too much. After the movie, we made popcorn and the kids headed out to the tent. I wasn't sure they were going to want to stay out as the neighbours were having a bit of a party and the country music was pretty loud but the kids insisted it was no big deal, so out they stayed.
