We've had a relaxing two days at Eric's parents house. Yesterday we took a walk over to Canadian Tire. Ivy was convinced she would fine the perfect water bottle (just like grandma's) but their selection wasn't great.
Then we went to several stores to find some Canadian paraphernalia. Each kid had a budget of about $5. Most came back with socks, hats, gloves, and/or pens. Dio didn't find anything in 3 stores and came home glum and teary. We reassured him that we'd find him something.
We went to a matinee of the new Barbie movie. It was fun but I think it's been a bit over-hyped.
After dinner yesterday (with a group of cousins from Eric's sister, who lives nearby), we went to a nearby lake for playgrounds and skateboard parks. I got to ride my MIL's electric-assist bike around the lake.
Today I had a meeting with Zari and Dio's school counselor to figure out transfer credits and class schedules. Zari went first, and then she and Eric went with Eric's mom for a doctor's visit. Zari got some more driving practice in during the visit.
We spent the afternoon at a local pool with great water slides and the same cousins.
Eric was hoping to play pickup soccer this evening, but the group cancelled due to low attendance. That's fine--we had lots of packing to do in advance of our early morning departure. Next up: my family reunion!
Here's a lineup of our family...we parents are shrinking!!
