Mother Daughter Weekend

This weekend Abby and I went to camp for a Mother Daughter bonding weekend. Friday after school we packed up bags and walked down the hill to Camp Columba's Mother Daughter weekend. We settled in cabin #2 and began the activities designed just for girls. The weekend consisted of yummy food, journaling, singing, dancing, make up, crafts and lots of time with just Abby and I. It was really nice.




We have three more weeks until our first two week holiday. Plans are in the works for the kids to go to camp here, as well as a 4 day biking trip from Clyde to Middlemarch. Once the holidays are complete we are excited to have our friend, babysitter and lifeguard from Lambton Centre come to stay with us. We are also buying wet suits as we plan to go to Porpoise Bay to swim with the Dolphins. A lady that I met at the camp this weekend had been to Porpoise Bay last weekend and they swam for hours with baby dolphins. That sounds cool to us, so we are going to spend this coming Saturday jammed in wet suits frolicking with baby marine mammals. We are hoping the weather continues to be warm and sunny.

Till next time.

Looks like Abby is having lots of fun with her friends,which must make you feel good. She looks all grown-up in some of those pictures.
Swimming with the dolphins sounds awesome, can't wait to see some pictures !!!
