We had a very busy weekend. A quick rundown is that we visited the cat café, went to the last day of the local arts festival, and Maren had her end of year dance performance.
And in the hustle and bustle of Maren getting ready for her dress rehearsal, Linden wrote and illustrated this very sweet book, all by herself, with no help:
In Saskatchewan we have a very short spring, and it is already summer. We have had a bit of smoke from wildfires blowing in, but even though it looks a little cloudy it is warm, bordering on too hot. We have been spending a lot of time outside:
And today was the Victoria Day holiday, and the kickoff of our local arts festival, https://cvaf.ca/, where we watched a parade and picnicked in the park while listening to live music. We met up with friends, and after a while went back to their house where the kids ran through the sprinkler, ate popsicles and spent all afternoon outside. Then barbecue for dinner, followed by a trip to the park. Those long summer days have arrived! Unless next week brings winter back, which is not unheard of around here, but we won’t think about that 🤣
This morning Maren and Linden gave me an avalanche of cards and presents they had made over the past couple of weeks:
For the first time since last fall, we spent most of the day outside.
Yesterday we put training wheels on Maren‘s old bike, and Linden was able to ride for the first time:
Today, we spent the day walking, biking, playing, and just enjoying the warm air.
Happy spring!
