Last weekend we went on our big camping trip of the year with the Daveys and the Vanees! This is the third year in a row we've all gone on a camping trip together, I feel like it gets smoother for us every year:-). We went to Fort Flagler on Marrowstone Island, which isn't actually that far, but it took so long to get there because of the wait at the Edmonds ferry, grr. The kids actually did really well with all the waiting. We had a great weekend! The weather was wonderful, not as hot as I thought it would be, and we were able to spend lots of time on the beach. We also explored some of the old military sites which was kind of fun, even convinced Adam to go through a completely dark tunnel (I have to give Lynsey the credit for being incredibly patient as he went like one step further each time before turning around before eventually making it all the way through!). It was a dirt-filled, but beautiful campsite (Adam was positively filthy all weekend long). We did have a mishap with one of the Davey's kids needing stitches by his eye, but he was okay and it didn't disrupt the Daveys trip too much thankfully. Always something has to happen!
On Tuesday, Adam had to go in to get dental work done. He did quite well with the whole experience, I kept him on a "need-to-know" basis so he hardly knew what was coming next. It was the only way for success. He struggled a bit when they put the anesthesia mask on, but all in all not bad! He had two pretty bad cavities on one side in the back of his mouth, and had to get one silver crown on his 2 year molar and one white filling in the permanent 6 year molar. The dentist seemed a bit concerned that the 6 year molar might have to be extracted, but for now we are hopeful that the filling solved the problem. I'm relieved that it's over, and happy to know that his mouth is doing okay now that we finally have x-rays and a proper cleaning, as well as sealants on all his teeth. Fingers crossed no more dental work will be required for a long time!
Lynsey and Nathan both had camps this week, Nathan a Lego camp and Lynsey a cheerleading camp. They both had a lot of fun! Lynsey got to perform for us before her camp was over which was fun. She also got to finally perform the big play her and the neighbor kids have been working on all summer today! They did so great, I'm so thankful for Cindy for putting all the work in! Lynsey really enjoyed the whole experience.
Tomorrow, I am doing something I have never done before - drive the kids to Alberta by myself. Thankfully, Brian's parents are having mercy on me, and are currently in Kamloops so they can drive back with us from Kamloops! We will stay overnight in Revelstoke and drive to Calgary on Monday. The kids are really excited! I am nervous but I know it will be worth it. Brian is flying in late Thursday night so he will only have a few days there, but it's better than nothing (and he has to drive back with me!). Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly tomorrow!
