Autumn camping and a day with no kids | Rowan Family Tree

Just to make all you Albertans and Northerners jealous, we still have lovely fall weather in the Okanagan.

True, we had a brief 2 or 3 day stint of snow 2 weeks ago, but mostly it?s been just pleasant wool coats and gumboots weather. We really can?t complain. The two pictures are with?Sugar and Spice?s?neighbour L, who is now in Kindergarten and walking to school with the girls most days.

On another autumn note ? the girls are off to Fall Sparks Camp BY THEMSELVES this weekend?- the first overnight away from family. Kinda a big deal. We told the leader if they freak out to call us and we?ll pick them up. Not that we want to, of course? we have a big date planned! But I guess that?s one adoption-related thing? we don?t want them ever to feel abandoned anywhere. Very traumatic. So if we have to drive out in the middle of the night, we will. But let?s hope pyjama parties, sweets, friends, sleeping bags and all other manner of 6 year old delights will keep them busy the whole night through!

I have a not-as-delightful day of marking planned ? got to get everything done ahead of time to be able to go to Costa Rica!! Jason is going off to a finance seminar all day (his new hobby. Let?s hope it is fruitful and he doesn?t lose it all day trading or something horrendous.) But in the evening we are going out to a proper dinner and movie. Hmmm? maybe I will dress up!
