Yesterday it was Action Boy's turn so off we set in a big yellow school bus and headed to a gorgeous little hobby farm in the heart of rural Quebec. The teacher even pointed out a one room school house along the way!
It was a hot and humid day but all the kids a ball feeding animals and having tractor rides. There was even a camp fire to roast marshmallows!
Shame about the mosquitoes! They are a SERIOUS problem here! The warmer weather means you want to spend time outdoors but the minute you step outside you're attacked! Poor Little Miss D reacts terribly and the other day her knee swelled up in a hot, red puff ball that ended up in a bruise! Nasty. Unfortunately they really do seem to prefer young flesh too...
Sitting around a camp fire in a very green forest feels just like the American movies I watched growing up. This summer thing also feels just like a movie - a very long break from school, kids playing in the street, walking into the village for ice cream and registration for summer camp. It's all very novel and fun!
