It is always an exciting time when the Funks come for an overnight stay. The picture shows them just arriving and Jethro seemed to have grown even over the eight days since we had seen them last. The three children made getting to bed a bit of a challenge. Two wanted loads of repeat nursery rhymes and the other wanted a long walk up and down the street. But we got there OK.
In the morning, Piper watched Shrek for the first time. Pretty soon after that, she was directing her own version of Shrek on the front porch with Barb and Jasper roped in for certain roles.
It was decided that we must go out to celebrate Peter's completion of his essay draft. There might still be a lot more to do on it but it seemed a good excuse at the time. We went to Azurea Cafe/Restaurant, the place where we ride our bikes to for coffee.
Jethro had a sample of Barb's risotto. He has become very comfortable with Barb. On the other hand, he views Peter with some suspicion.
Afterward, we strolled through Brand Junction, situated across the road from Azurea. In the central area, there was free face painting on offer and Piper and Jasper were in on that. Piper chose a dolphin and Jasper a crocodile.
Then there were rides and ice-cream for some and more coffee for others. We had a very nice time of it with Bec, Gord and the kids, and we have wonderful memories to share. We are so thankful for the gift of time and chill-out.
