Must admit, it's kinda nice to get back to the routine of school season.
Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed an awesome summer vacation. Took the old family Prairie Wagon, hooked it up to the Manly Minivan, and headed west this year. Made some new friends, met up with some old friends; saw places we'd never seen before and a revisited one or two others. In a word, Awesome!
We also headed back over the Ontario border a couple of times, to recharge our batteries in the vacation paradise of our youths - the wife and I that is. It's all still pretty new to the boys. But they love it. And they especially loved our last trip of the year, 'cause we brought some Manitoba friends.
That particular trip was almost the perfect storm of camping. Good weather, good water temperature, good campsites, great friends, no uncontrolled bleeding, relatively few bears . . . good times!
Note to working dads here: "Vacations" are a little different for you, than they are for your stay-at-home spouse. "Work" for us is putting up with . . . check that . . . taking care of the kids 24-7. So it's not exactly a break from the office during summer time. It's just a change of location, a temporary transfer.
Now, where did this start. Oh, right, routine.
So, end of summer, kids back to school. Am adjusting to having my mornings "off" as Sontoo started Kindergarten this year. Kids are signed up for winter fun, including dance and judo. It's nicely spread out during the week this year, with Monday, Tuesday and Thursday being sports nights. Last year, everything was on Wednesday. Very inconvenient and not at all relaxing.
