The boys got caught up. They went swimming, on the trampoline, inside....it was cute to see them play together a whole year later! Owen has grown up so much from what I remember (as has Noah, but we've seen the change in Noah and not in Owen).
They are still CRAZY cats!!!
Our Isabelle wanted to join in some swim time fun as well!
After our barbecue, we had a campfire. We roasted some spider weenies, made some s'mores.....
....and got told some scary stories by the 'big' Isabelle! Mostly about ghosts and scary events that happened. Noah & Owen listened INTENTLY and were quite impressed.
Poor Noah - our 'Mr. Fix-It Boy' - repeatedly tried to explain away to make the stories make sense or possible - all the while his sweet little face showed fear!
This particular story (as seen from Owen's point of view) was HILARIOUS....
The 'big' Isabelle went on and on about this scary stuff.......and at the end, it wasn't really a scary story, she was describing these scary boys which ended up being Noah & Owen....
When the 'big' Isabelle finally said this, this was Owen's reaction.....we had a good laugh!!! It was so sweet!
We had some left over sparklers from Canada Day that we let the kids burn.....
The boys slept in the tent. They went in the tent around 11pm and who knows what time they actually fell asleep.

Considering they wanted to get on the road in good time, we went out to wake them up around 8:30 or 9:00 am. We 'scratched' on the tent and walked around making noises. Check out the silhouette of the 'big' Isabelle in the top right corner of the tent!!! LOL She went over and started poking Owen to wake him up!
So glad to have had Owen & Isabelle overnight....thanks for stopping in!

Owen really has grown, I remember him from when you were in Moncton. I LOVE the "scared" look on his face during storytime. So sweet! And what a smart boy Noah is to try and figure out how the stories could be made reasonable and less frightening.
