This
vacation was quite uneventful in many ways .. just the way we like it
(Very
different for my mom who broke 2 toes and can barely walk on top of everything
else health wise she deals with . Thank goodness I was able to find a family
friend to hire to visit her and help her out many days while gone when I could
not be there )
In
this second week after the great family weekend with the whole five of us ...
Beauty worked daily at the ski hill and so our days consisted of driving her
and falling back asleep or reading in bed or both , doing winter sports outside
for 2 hrs , picking her up , reading and napping by the fire , making dinner,
playing games , watching a movie , and going to bed and starting over again
It
is perfection up here in winter wonderland :) will be very sad to leave tonight
and back to school and work.
Bear
worked most of the week st home at mr boxer and also did an extra lifeguard
course he needed for the particular lifeguard position he has this summer . He
leaves today for 5 days for mont st Anne cegep ski trip since he has an extra
week off .
Chase
has been downtown at a fancy hotel for 4 days volunteering for his school and
coordinating a huge business school event . He was also the outside bartender
in -40 degree as has his bartender training . He got to stay in hotel as one of
his best buddies is a very known DJ And hosted that event. He is back to
reality tomorrow like us
Beauty
had Simon come this weekend since Friday afternoon and we have had so much fun
the four of us . I love how she wants him to experience all the cottage
traditions and asks for them like sitting g on the couches after dinner before
cleaning up with no phones and chatting , pizza making competition , taking a
break in movie to eat dessert at the big counter with a candle and of course
all our outside stuff we do . It’s fun to keep all of this alive and protected
and introduce to new people the magic of Trent life
Was
so so cold but they went in the Jacuzzi and her work was cancelled bc of
extreme cold so we went and ate lunch at the bakery and Skated together and
watched Simon play hockey ( man he is amazing and the whole rink was impressed
! )
Then
came home for a big talk we wanted to have with them and it went super well .
Was a high of our parenting moments I would say to be able to have that type of
discussion and we were super impressed by this young couple . Our daughter hid
her face most the time but Simon was really into it and mature and super
impressed us . It went so so well and we all felt good about it .
Hubby
and them played monopoly for hours and then the big pizza competition which was
so fun with the various tastes and names and music accompanying.
Today
is shovelling the roof with them , a couple of jobs hubby and Simon will do
together and then more skating and hot chocolate at the bakery .
Young
love is truly beautiful to watch . Scary too ! So many possibilities for broken
hearts but so wonderful to watch as well and I am so happy our daughter first
serious relationship is such a loving one .
These
two so similar in so many ways . Extremely respectful to eachother and us .
Both huge rule followers . We spend tons of times together and first question
Beauty asked this morning was “ what are we all doing today ? “
That’s
what I love so much about Trent : it’s a family place and we do family stuff
for good chunks of the day and evening between individual relaxing and chilling
At
home everyone would be in their separate corners except for meals . The cottage
? A whole different world thank goodness and I think that is why our biggest
priority in life . It keeps the kids young
Big
big cleanup end of day and then back to home and meeting chase for a last
dinner out at 8:30pm ! Super excited to see him . And my other lost son all
next weekend when he is back from skiing
