Summer Week 11

Last Sunday we headed out at 6am for Sunriver. Stopped in Sisters for the famous pine cone donut and had lunch in Bend. Monday morning up early so I could work and the kids made sun catchers although hubs got roped into working on Abby's. Then we rented a canoe. That was not a hit with a kids. Between Aidan's anxiety and a bee in the boat with Abby in hysterics I doubt they will ever step foot in one again. Took them swimming after and then to a museum and into Bend for dinner. Tuesday left at 6am for a day trip to Crater Lake got back early enough so they could go swimming. We were lucky enough to get tickets for the 930 boat tour. One, because all the online reservations were sold out so we just took our chances and two, one of the boats had mechanical issues so they cancelled the afternoon tours. The kids did great on the 2.2 mile trek round trip. Going back up hill was rough but they were amazing. Wednesday morning took them on a quick bike ride before heading home. Went by way too fast and not enough time!! Could have used another day of bike riding and swimming. Was nice to get back early enough to make lunches, do laundry, make dinner and have hubs mow the lawn. It's a lot of work packing for everyone and meal planning  and food prep so we don't eat out as much. I'm not sure it's classified as a vacation for Mom. Back to work Thursday and soccer practice in the evening. Friday they had a field trip to Safari Sams. Nice short work week. Today was more meal prep for the week. I'm delivering a meal on Tuesday and there is soccer and school supply night this week and I definitely need to fit in a Barre class.  Abby had gymnastics today and we took a trip to the library. Sad we are upon our last week of summer break.
