Summer is here

So the end of June has arrived and we have been thrown into summer overnight with temperatures reaching 30.So now it is time to have fun in the mornings and stay cool in the afternoons.It is always nice to find some water and have the opportunity to cool off and that is what Heather and I did on Saturday.We had a walk down to the river in the morning and she enjoyed playing with the sticks and stones in the water ,looking at the bugs and the birds by the riverbank Then we had a few snacks in the park near by. She enjoyed running around on the grass,running up the hill ,to then run down and fall over.Life is so simple and fun at this age and it is amazing to see the enjoyment she gets from discovering new things and the fun that she gets from running around in bare feet and purposefully falling over to roll in the grass.

New discoverys

So the next day we had Dad take time off because it was too hot for him to be working on the roof and we packed another picnic and set off to cool down in Two Jacks lake in Banff.We took the ball ,bucket and spade and again Heather loved to pick up the rocks to put in her bucket.This time though,she wasn't too keen on paddling too long and was happy to be carried on Dad's shoulders along the shore...looking at the little fish from a height...well atleast Dad was cooling down.Heather certainly knows what she wants and what she wants others to do and has no hesitation in letting you know about it.We all have our special chair around her little table and she will tell you to "sit down ..." and if you don't or are in the middle of doing something ,then she will come and find you to lead you to the chair to sit down with her .She has had many a grown man or lady sitting on her little table and chairs...funny what a small person can make you do.We had a great laugh at the following video of Heather putting James in his place....





He is beginning to realise that there is now more than one female in the house.....what on earth will it be like if the next one is a girl too!!!! I'm wondering what he is hoping for!!!

A LITTLE BALANCE , MAYBE !!!
