There was a fishing festival in Versoix that we decided to check out. James caught his first fish ever! He caught his first fish in about 5 seconds so we decided to let him try again for a second one after this.
We stayed a while after and played on the "beach" (it is all rocky and made of pebbles) and then had dinner there and listened to the music while the kids made some friends and danced for a while. It was a nice day.
The kids also did a painting project with me. I saw an idea for marble painting online and decided to try it with the kids. I decided that I would also buy a few extra canvases and prepaint them so that the boys could be creative and so that I could get their handprints and footprints. It was fun but they had to take a bath immediately after and I had to scrub the balcony off afterward. We have hung the pictures throughout the house and I have had friends ask where we bought that red/black and white picture (the marble painted one). I have even showed a few friends how to do this project and I am helping the primary do this as part of an activity on Saturday.
James had taken to giving Johnny lots of toys to play with in the morning. Johnny enjoyed it until the toys got to be too much for him to move when he would start yelling for us.
This is also the time when I James lost having his toys in his room. Can you tell why? He just made one too many "boats" out of his toys. I moved the toys to my room for a few months and just yesterday I moved them to the living room.
We also went raspberry picking a few times with Brian and the kids really liked that. It makes the raspberries actually affordable at about $4 a lb. if you pick them yourself. The boys especially love every minute they get to spend with Daddy.
As you can tell we had a laid back and fun ending to our summer.

Loved seeing the boys dance, paint and the luscious looking raspberries.
