Sometimes being somewhere familiar with familiar people is simply comforting and uplifting...a reminder of good memories and a sense of belonging...
We were excited to meet up with Cindy, Maeg and Will at Fairy Lake last week. Surprisingly, we met up with other homeschoolers from Barrie and Newmarket at the same time. What a crowd!
It was great to see Wendy, Lucas, Elsa and Dalton and to spend time with Dalton on our walk around the lake. He's changed so much since we first met him! Time flies! We hope they will be able to coming camping at Awenda this summer!
I loved observing the kids at Fairy Lake, doing so many of the things we have done there before over the years.... running off the path to investigate, playing at the park, mucking in the water, walking on the boardwalk, taking pictures, rolling down hills, watching the geese, giving piggy-back rides, finding critters and so on. I had to wonder, how many more times this scene will look like this to me. I'm not dwelling on it, just realizing how precious this time is...and the time to just be a kid, a free kid to do as you please...and benefit so much from good friends and being in nature.
We continued our visit at Covernotes and enjoyed yummy drinks and treats.
We all left each other smiling and look forward to our next visit!
