And that was the first day of August!

On the last day of July we also had a fun day: the girls and I went to the beach with Grand-Maman and Lorelei. We were hoping to go to Sandbanks but it was all booked up for the day, so we headed to North Beach Provincial Park, which was pretty similar. Here are some snapshots of our sunny, splashy outing.

Charleston Lake & Birthday Cake

We did some hamster-sitting last week because the Paschkowiaks were camping at Charleston Lake! It was a small reminder of caring for our beloved guinea pigs.

We joined the campers for a day trip as usual, though this time we skipped the swimming and stayed for dinner instead of lunch. We were grateful for the lack of mosquitoes, but a bit saddened by a squirrel chewing through our cooler backpack and stealing some chocolate. Ha! The highlight was having campfire s'mores for the first time since 2019. A lovely afternoon!

And that was not the only Paschkowiak event of the week. On July 2nd we gathered to celebrate Caleb's 11th birthday! We went out for dinner (a rarity with our family) to the Birthday Boy's restaurant of choice: East Side Mario's. A treat!
