We are in the last weekend of summer already. Where did the summer go?? I am counting down the days to go back to school. At first I wasn't so thrilled but now I am getting pretty excited. Back to school and see all my friends again. We went school shopping yesterday for all the supplies...my backpack is bursting!! I think mom is going to have to carry it in for me the first day. It's heavy!! I think this year my teacher is going to be Ms Beaupre. I know she's nice because she was my reading teacher last year.
The summer went by so fast it didn't seem like we did a lot...but I guess we did. We had our big vacation up to Sault Ste Marie in early July. We borrowed Shannon and Nat's mini van and that got us there so much better. I had a blast playing with Emma at camp. And Grandpa and Papa too. And we finally got to meet Auntie Jodie's baby...I think her name is Kate. I had my 4 wheeler race against Papa's tractor and this time I won. But I think I should've been disqualified since I ran right into Papa. Silly me! I sure love the four wheeler. It's sweet!
We used our pool quite a bit in July but then it got really rainy and cool and we haven't used it much in the past few weeks. We tried to go swimming yesterday and it was soooo cold!! Even colder then on Wednesday when we swam in the St Lawrence River. Brrr!!
We had some adventures in the past few weeks too. Lelita (Tony's sister) and Chico were visiting from Portugal so we had a lot of fun with them. We toured the Royal Canadian Mint, and the market downtown, we did some shopping with them and had a lot of dinners with them. One day we went to the Civilisations Museum and Lyz and me played in the Children's Museum. They even have a Bob the Builder exhibit. That was so cool! Then this past Wednesday I went on a day trip up to Upper Canada Village with Julia, Tony, mommy, Lyz, Dee, Lelita and Chico. We had a blast! We got to learn a lot of stuff at the village because it wasn't too busy. Do you know they use dried bugs to add the red colour in Fruitopia?? Gross!! We saw lots and lots of horses too and they were really friendly. This time we even got a boat ride in the boat pulled by the horse. Neato! Finally we took the little train ride over to Crysler Beach and had a HUGE picnic with the family. We went swimming too and it really wasn't that cold. I also collected a ton of rocks...Julia is a good rock collector too. She's crazy...she was feeding the birds and actually picked up a seagull...gross!
We must have done more things this summer too but I can't remember.
Oh and the biggest news of the summer is that "Tank" is on the way!! Mommy is pregnant!! I found out sometime in July and at first I didn't even believe it but then boy oh boy did I ever get excited. I started to tell everyone I saw. I decided to call the baby "Tank" if it's a boy and "Tanker" if it's a girl. I think they're good names. I'm anxious to start setting up the baby's room. I talk to Tank all the time and give mommy's belly kisses. I actually saw the baby on tv a few weeks ago. We went for the ultrasound and it was so cool. You could see his big head and body and little legs and arms. It looked like an alien to me. Pretty amazing that that is in mommy's belly. I think soon we'll be able to hear the heartbeat...now that will be cool.
That's my update for now.
