Pool Party!
We have invited Joshua and his family for lunch and fun at the pool.
Here I am with Logan and Gabriel.


Gabriel and Joshua are warming up in the sun.


Nicole and Logan.


Madeleine and I.


The main table.


We had a great day.  It was warm, the kids had a lot of fun in the pool.



Thursday August 2, 2018


An easy morning at home.
Gabriel is invited by Joshua to play this afternoon.
Surprise!  Gabriel is back by 1.30 pm!
He told us he was too tired to play with Joshua.

Gabriel plays inside for a while and at 2 pm, we all got in the pool.
A nice snack between playing in the pool.
 

Tonight is a special evening, Gabriel and Kristin are having a movie night together, with junk food!


We had a nice and loud thunderstorm at 11 pm.  It was nice because it cooled off the temperature.



Friday August 3, 2018


No pictures today
Gabriel did not have a very good night of sleep, so neither did Kristin.

We spent most of the morning shopping with Gabriel.
Right after lunch, Joshua came to ask Gabriel to play with him.   We did not see Gabriel until 4.30 pm.
It was a hot day again (+32°C), but no pool.
Kristin is back on call, so Gabriel is back in the MH for sleeping.



Saturday August 4, 2018


Hummm!  Nutella toasts for breaky!


Groot is slowly getting used to Gabriel.


Meanwhile, I have to add some more sealant around the shower in the MH.


It is a nice cooler day, what a nice change.  The wind is blowing and I use this time to dry out the slip & slide.


Gabriel got back just before lunch, he looks tired!


It is with a belly full of food that he goes back to play with his friends.
He looks both ways before crossing the street.


Gabriel is back by 3 pm.  He told us he was tired of playing with friends.
Michele was in his room building Lego, so he helps by taking then apart!!!


A quiet day at home.  Kristin is gone to Saskatoon for a batchelorette party with friends.  She will be back tomorrow afternoon.



Sunday August 5, 2018


Gabriel lost his first tooth last night.
He could not wait for it to happen.


Jeremy told him he would look like a hockey player with his missing tooth.
Here is our hockey player.


We had a quiet day again.
We only saw Gabriel during mealtime.
Michele had to go and get him, he must have forgotten time!!!
 

We did some packing for our trip to Wakamow tomorrow.



Monday August 6, 2018


We are leaving for Wakamow this morning.  We have to drive a big 5 km to get there!

This is the bear-angel for the tooth of Gabriel.  This is where the Tooth Fairy will leave the money for the tooth.


Surprise!
The Tooth fairy did come last night and Gabriel is now $2 richer.


Kristin is not working today and Gabriel spent most of the morning with her.  This gave us the time to prep the MH for the trip to Wakamow.
Gabriel with his new sunglasses and a tooth missing.  He looks like a hockey player!


Once at the campground, Gabriel goes and play with Asher.  We take this time to clean the MH.

Lucky for us the wind is cool because it is warm here.


We are back to site #32, next to Asher.


Gabriel and Asher are playing outside at our place.  A few hours later they moved in Asher's trailer.

Before supper, I ask Gabriel to pick up his toys.
This does not go well with him!!!  He complained the whole time, so I did not help him at all.  Lesson learned.


With all the toys put away, he can now go in and play inside.  I cannot believe how hard we are on him!
We bought a Lego strip you can stick to any surfaces and build from there.


Michele watched tennis most of the afternoon.


Gabriel is very happy with going camping.


We are having burgers for supper.


After a good bath, it is now time for a snack and watching some TV.


I work on the next update of the blog.


We had a very good day and we are happy to be back living in the MH for a while.



Tuesday August 7, 2018


We are under extreme heat warning for the next few days.  We will have +32° tomorrow and go up to +38° by Saturday.

Before it gets to hot, we go for our daily bike ride.
The Moose Jaw River and the campground.  River is a big word, it is mostly standing water right now.


Gabriel had a little accident with his bike this morning.  As we were biking, I turned around and saw him on the ground with his bike!?!?!
I asked him what happened?  He answers I do not know!
He has a good bruise on his neck.


We still have a leak on our shower.  I remove the doors again and once everything is dry, I reapply a large amount of silicone.  It is not looking good, but it will not leak again.

We invited our neighbors to join us at the pool back at Jérémy and Kristin's house.  Ella, Asher, Gabriel and me in the pool.  We had a great time.
 

All three of them get along very good.


Back home, Gabriel and Asher play with the tools and catch ants with the pliers.
 

They also use the cutters to cut some branches.  Asher looks like an explorer.


With the heat, we have the AC going full blast and the noise is making it hard to listen to the TV.
Let's use the headset to listen to the TV.
 

I also have a good snack.


It was a busy day.



Wednesday August 8, 2018


Gabriel did not have a good night sleep.  He woke up a few times crying and saying he misses his Dad.
Michele decided to spend the night with him in his bed.  He slept good after and for the rest of the night.
Grand-Maman is buried under the cushions.


Gabriel is a good help for making the bed in the morning.


The silicone is now dry.  It took a long time to dry because it is so thick.
Here I am re-installing the doors.  This time the installation was much faster.  I guess I got experience this time.


It is very hot right now (+35°C), but in the shade we have a nice wind and it keeps it cooler.


Just having fun.


My allergies are at an all-time high.  A box of Kleenex does not last long I tell you!
Gabriel is always talking...


Gabriel talking to his Dad on Skype for about 15 minutes while his Dad was at work.


I had to take 3 antihistamine just to stop my nose from running all day.  It is the first time I had to do this.

We had a movie night.  We watched Padington I together, so Gabriel went to bed a little late tonight.



Thursday August 9, 2018


On the way back from our bike ride, we stopped at the Burger Cabin for an ice-cream dipped in chocolate.
Remember, it is already 35°C and the ice-cream melts fast.
 

Michele prepared us this really nice looking lunch.


We decide to head back home after lunch.  The pool is calling us back.  It is so hot at the campground right now.


Kristin left this morning to fly to Abbotsford B.C. and join Jeremy for the weekend.

We went to the movie "Christopher Robin" with Gabriel
 

Gabriel liked the movie.
Back home, he had his bath and surprises!  The same movie, but in cartoons is playing on TV.  We let him watched this one too.
 

My allergies are still going strong today.
About the shower?  No more leaks.



Friday August 10, 2018


It is still in the upper 30's.  We decided to go and check out the new bridge being constructed.
It turns out watching pelicans eating fish was more important.


Gabriel loves his new toolbox.


I love it too, now I can read.
Look at my right leg.


Gabriel comes and tells me I have a bug going in there.  He puts his hand up in there.  I jump in surprise!


I stand up and he keeps his hand on my leg!!!


He is laughing so hard and he tells me there was no bug.  He just wanted to scare me!  Little bugger.


Gabriel found a nest of blank ants.  He dug for a while in there.
 

Our thermometer tell us it is 36° outside, but the Weather Network says it is 40°C.


One more movie night, this time it is the movie Padington II.  At least a part of it before bedtime.
With a movie, you have to have junk food.


It was another good day.



Saturday August 11, 2018


The forecast for today is calling for +42°C.
Gabriel told me he did not want to go biking today.  Good idea.

So this morning, I am cooking the ground turkey meat we bought and also the bacon before it gets to be too hot.

Asher come to play with Gabriel for a while while I am cooking.   Once I was done cooking, we all went inside.
Those two play really well together.
 

They are playing so good, I even can read some newsletter I received.


It is 42°C and we decided to go back home and play in the pool
 

Taking a break from the pool.  What a cool guy!
 

And more playing in the pool.
 

Gabriel loves the water, he is like a fish in there.


Before we go back home, Gabriel has a job to do.  Kristin has asked him to feed the cat while she was away.
Kristin had showed Gabriel what to do.  He does everything without help.


On our way back, the car thermometer shows 44°C, but the one in the MH shows 38.7°C.  It does not matter, it is just plain hot and not pleasant.


Michele has cooked some spaghetti and some of them are even in a hot-dog sausage!


Even with the temperature being so hot, we still had a good day.
Tomorrow we are invited at our neighbor's place for hot-dogs and hamburger for supper.



Sunday August 12, 2018


We biked to the new suspension bridge this morning.


It is much cooler today.  The wind is blowing and it makes it nice.


We are looking for small garbage on the ground.
We picked up half a shopping bag worth of garbage.
 

Gabriel, Asher and Ella play very well together.


Later in the day, Gabriel plays inside.  He is pretty good a coloring.


A good homemade milkshake!


Denver and Hannah have invited us for a BBQ tonight.
Here is the whole gang.
Myself, Michele, Ella, Denver, Hannah, Steve, Gabriel and Asher.


And the crazy photo!


Thank you for a very good meal and the good times.



Monday August 13, 2018


Brrrr!  It is cold, OK, cooler this morning (14°C).
Asher is playing in our MH this morning.  Nothing like a big blanket over chairs and make a fort.  Let the fun begin!
It is funny to listen to what is being said in the fort.


A short while later, Ella comes in the MH with the two boys.


I decided to comb Ella's hair.  We can tell right away this is not one of her favorite thing.
So, I comb her hair while she is concentrating on the cartoons on TV.  I do it nice and slow and got it done.


After a while, we could not hear anything coming out of the fort!
Michele goes around the fort, only to find the two boys watching the cartoons on TV.


This is more comfortable for watching TV.


Asher and Ella had to leave for lunch.

After lunch, we went outside.  I am trying to show Gabriel how to make noise with a blade of grass.
He did it only once.


It was a weird day weather wise today.

We are having supper with Jeremy and Kristin tonight.  Kristin is coming back from Abbotsford while Jeremy is coming home with the Snowbirds.  We show up with pizza and both of them were already home.
Gabriel is so excited to see his Dad and Kristin back home.
After supper, we leave Gabriel with his Dad and Kristin and go back to the MH.



Tuesday August 14, 2018


This is a weird morning.  No Gabriel with me for breakfast!
We have to change site today.  We are moving to site #56.  It did not take us long and we were all set up at our new home.
 

This site only has two services, it is OK as we are here only until Friday morning.


We spent the day reading, biking and walking around the campground.



Wednesday August 15, 2018


We are under a "Special Air Quality Statement" again in Moose Jaw.
More smoke from the wildfires in B.C.  It is a hot day again (32C).

I have an appointment this morning for my 3 months eye exam following my laser surgery.
All is good with my eyes, good!


Other than that, we had another good quiet day at home.  We were mostly indoor with the AC going.

Until next time.

Life is good...
