weekend

We had another nice family weekend. On Friday we went to Av’s school family picnic. As always it was a stressful rush to get out of the house by 5:30 on a Friday but once we got there it was very worth it. As soon as we pulled in Av was off playing and we didn’t see much of her that night. She didn’t even stop to eat her dinner. She climbed, swung and ran the night away. She is sometimes shy but then there are other times when she is totally in her element. I guess the park with her friends is just about heaven for her. Camille enjoyed herself too. She spent most of the night eating her dinner in her stroller or swinging. Her dinners still take about an hour to eat. She loves to swing and gets so mad when you take her out of it. On Saturday we all got up and played while John worked on the girl’s swing set. It is finished and the girls love it. He did such a great job. We are very proud of him. Av was very excited to be able to swing at her house. Saturday night Miss Linda came to watch the girls while John and I went to an adult event at the zoo. It is called Brew at the Zoo and it is a fundraiser the zoo has every year. There are 4 huge tents set up with beer, wine and food vendors. You are given a little beer mug to sample beer from local breweries for the night. We went with a bunch of our friends and really had a fun night. We spent Sunday morning out back putting up our tent and getting out all our camping gear with our neighbors. We are camping next weekend so we wanted to make sure we have everything we need. It will be Camille’s first camping trip. Hope it goes well. The kids had fun playing in the tents for the day. By 7:30 Sunday night the Hoekstras were all tired. Av happily climbed in her bgb and slept the night away.
