Galumptious Gala

Kieran was so excited by his first swimming lesson of the year. He got all kitted up, got his goggles on, hopped in the car with Chris...and the battery was flat. It had been flat previously and Chris had not finished charging it. I had to call and cancel. He was so, so upset, however he is having a double lesson this saturday to make up for it.

The Glenora Gala was held on sunday. It was held on the field by the library playground so naturally the boys were super keen. We met up with Isabelle and headed off for fun times and bouncy castles. The bonus of being the first people there is that you get really long turns on the bouncy castles - about 3x the normal length lol. If one was to look at the top left of the picture one will see the slide portion of Le Giant Bouncy Castle. As there was much rain children whistling down said slide would hydroplane off the bottom and land several metres past the castle, on the grass. I decided to catch the little mucnhkins. As the bow wave drenched me from chin to calves and a children going roughly the speed on the starship enterprise skedaddling off I pondered the wisdom of this decision. However, I wasn't going to get any wetter so stayed at my post :) Kieran enjoyed a pony ride, a "train" ride, some doughnuts, both bouncy castles and then I couldn't take the rain anymore. We headed off home, happy and damp.

We decided to have some chilling home time at Monday - read I needed to get work done, and begin cleaning the house. Luckily the final assignment got handed in on friday so Summer school is officially over. I am really looking forward to Kieran's session of Kindy on tuesday though. I plan on asking if I can collect him half an hour later than normal as am whisking him off to the Dr to check his cough, and for Cameron to have his ears examined.
