Just Hanging Around

Natalie, Everett & David

Today was a lazy day just hanging out with my brother and his family.  We started the morning with a lovely homemade waffles and fresh fruit breakfast and then headed out to the backyard to play with the kids.  They have a little jungle gym with a swing and slide and the kids all took turns helping their cousins by pushing them on the swing and sliding down the slide with them.  It was neat to see how quickly they played together.

Everett was very excited with David pushing on the swings and Vander charmed the two girls all morning.  Late morning Tanya, Paige, Natalie, Andrea, Everett and Vander went for a walk while Pierre, David and I went and got some groceries.  We came back and had a quick lunch.

Once lunch was done the younger boys went for naps while we took our children to the school park which is just a couple of blocks away.  We played some basketball and Pierre saw how competitive the PEI Caron kids can get.  Before we left the park, the two older Caron boys (Francois and Pierre) had to play a game of one on one.  I was easily defeated two games to none by a score of 11 to 4 in both games - must have been home court advantage.

Swishhhhh

Afterwards Pierre and I went for a run and then Paige and Tanya did as well.  We had a barbecue for supper, the kids played the WII for a bit and then off to bed at a decent hour for a change.  It was a great day and change to just hang out and enjoy each others company.  We are certainly enjoying spending time with the California Carons.
