Week 5 Day 2 - Saturday, June 13th - Lizards and swings

Today was a BLAST! We fit so much into the day and had so much fun!

This morning we got up and got started on bringing some laundry upstairs. We filled up the bike trailer and Daddy got his first experiences on doing laundry and bringing it upstairs with 2 kiddos. We went up and started the washers and Arnold played with the boys and I had a nice shower. It was great timing.

Once I had gotten out of the shower and got dressed the boys were playing around on the swings and the laundry was just about done. We got to play for about 10 more minutes then we loaded up the trailer with clean clothes and were on our way back to the campsite.

We loaded up the laundry line, umbrella, back laundry line and the gazebo to hang all of the clothes and sheets we had just done! Then we loaded up the car and headed out for our day.

We were off to the Ontario Science Centre (OSC) for a Lizards production! It was for Members only. You had to register a bit in advance (I did about 2 weeks ago) and we got to look at a new exhibit. It was all about Lizards and snakes. It was kind of like the zoo but in a small area, and only a few animals… so not really the zoo. Anyway, here are the photos from it:

We also got to check out their new Spying exhibit. That one was really cool. For some reason my camera crapped out on a few shots but here is what we got:

Then it was time to go. We got to play outside for a bit before heading off to the car:

We went off to go back to the campsite. However with it being lunch, and us not having anything in the house, we stopped at McDonalds to eat and play in the playplace. Then we went to No Frills grocery store and got a few things there and then to Reeds Dairy where we got our first milkshakes of the week and some more milk. When we got home we asked everyone to have a nap. I got to chill out on the hammock and the boys watched a George movie for a bit.

This is when Arnold decided it was time to have some fun. Here’s what the rest of our afternoon looked like:

**This is where I decided I didn’t want to do *all* that work so I used the stick that DH used to throw over the tree and made a swing!

During this time (since it took a bit) we managed to get a few more photos of random things:

This is the campsite next to us. They were a group of girl guides. The mom, daughter and boyfriend team from the day before just set up part of the whole group. It was crazy how many people there were!

DH and I found a caterpillar. It was great fun. I took a few photos then we shared it with the boys. They had a blast with it. Well until it moved on Kyler’s hand then Quinton freaked and K wasn’t too fond of it anymore.

Here is the ‘man’ of the house getting supper ready:

Shortly after supper (doesn’t it look good!) we were cleaning up and found Q like this:

We had a little campfire again that night. The boys went off to bed a bit easier and Arnold and I got some more alone time with the campfire. We had cookies and hot chocolate and stayed out there until about 10:40. It was nice.
