End of July

And classes recommence. Let the stress of studies begin. Again.

This is a GREAT book I'm reading, by the way. Actually found it on sale which was such progress and made me happy. 

Hardcover, latest edition. 

I want it in English as well but for now I can't afford it. Sniff.

Winter School Vacations

Last weekend we went to visit a friend who had recently had a baby and then roasted marshmallows when we returned home. A first for the girls.

Alina spent this week at a camp hosted by a club and she reeeeeally enjoyed it! There were all sorts of fun activites each day and she made a new friend. I'm sure glad we were able to send her to this camp, it's just a pity I don't have any pictures of her at it.

 First day of camp and Laurie looking like a bum:

Ready to go to the second day of camp:

One of the evenings we took the girls to the amusement park to go on the new huge ferris wheel. And of course, other rides.

Waiting in line:

Tired from walking around:

 At the movies to watch Kung Fu Panda 2 ... they loved it!
