Thanks to Jo for working this weekend, I had a little mummycation. A vacation from the tightly scheduled working-mum lifestyle of the past ten months. I was not at the pharmacy and not with Lake for a full 18 hours. 

It was an opportunity for self-care and relationship care and a bit of laundry too. It was a grounding mummycation amongst all the growing of the past year. 

I took a bath. I took a nap. With the help of my friend Cami, I Marie Kondo’d my clothes. I went running with my husband. We had several quality relationship rambles. I relished the revival of the piggyback ride! I love carrying Lake and we are blessed to have him in our lives for sure; even so, it’s a treat to take a break and be the one getting carried every now and again. 

Ayres Annual Family Camp went out with a bang. We were blessed with gorgeous weather, clear skies for campfires, s’mores, star viewing, the Big Dipper, a sunset that intensified with time, even a shooting star! We enjoyed the outdoors and the family time: Ayres Time. Lake relished the time with his grand-aunties and grand-uncles, Grandpa Ken and Grandma Annie (Grannie). 

Out in Grayland for the Ayres Family Camp… Lake’s second annual Ayres Family Camp and his first time at the Pacific Ocean beach! He loves it! Two more days of fun still await us… stay tuned!
