My sister and I took the kids (minus Oscker-too small so he stayed with my parents) on a trip south of the border to get some new duds for school. We left early Thursday morning (August 30) and returned home late Saturday night (September 1). It was a successful trip and lots of bargains were found. Jack and Lily were troupers as the days started early and ended late but we managed to make it work with breaks for treats and movies. This was our 3rd year in a row, first time for Lily.
Have we started a tradition?!?!

| we had a break at the American Girl bistro for treats. notice McKenna seated with us and her teacup. that place is all about details!!! it's kind of crazy actually |
 |

 |
| root beer float and a strawberry shake |
 |
| we went to the biggest movie theatre my kids have ever seen |
 |
| here you can see the worry and fear in Lily's face. she got so worked up about the size of the theatre and the screen that she gave herself a bloody nose. once she calmed down she actually enjoyed the Wimpy Kid Dog Days movie. |
 |
| rewarded with a swim (among other treats) at the end of a long day |
 |
| back in Canada at Horseshoe Bay waiting for the ferry to arrive |
 |
| so grateful for the park in Horseshoe Bay to pass the time |
 |

 |
| a stop in Davis Bay was necessary to admire the amazing sunset |
