Canada Day & the Zoo



Yes, I know it was yesterday. We ended up going to the zoo. There was Hugh, myself, Detta, Miles, Donovan and Detta's friend, Alex. We went and saw the Stingray Bay. They also have sharks there this year. The sharks tended to keep to the middle of the water tank or under the water fall.


We also did a tour around the Kids Zone. Donovan of course hit his head twice. I don't think we go anywhere these days without Donovan banging some part of him.


Detta did synchro-skate summer camp this week, three days only. It's good she is keeping it up. After we get back from England, Detta will have two more weeks of skating. Yes, England, this Saturday. It has come up so fast. I haven't even started to pack yet. The boys also go to camp so I have been busy trying to organise all sorts of things. And then Donovan is having a birthday party on Saturday morning. Hugh must go out and buy loot bag this evening. Plus we have to get camp packages in the mail tomorrow!!! No wonder I feel exhausted and overwhelmed.

Donovan has really taken to swimming. Yesterday, Donovan put the life jacket on so he could play up near the deep end (at the side of the pool). Hugh then convinced Donovan to get in the water, he was scared at first but Hugh and Detta did a good job of getting Donovan to swim. He swam from the deep end into the shallow end several times. We will have to put him in some swimming lessons this fall.
