Finally back camping, we arrived behind Eric and he had us all set up. The kids went from car to chair and didn't take a break from their screens.
The screens must had died. Kidding. They get excited every year to revisit their old toys left behind in the unit.
They all love these shirts and wear them often. Extremely rare that they were all clean at the same time.
Why yes, there were a few relaxing moments afterall. Too much work to get ready but overall we had fun. We're all definitely looking forward to more camping.
The view from #12. So similar to our old house. That I loved sooo much and I still miss and I still dream it ALL the time. I of course drove by and slowed down and sobbed. The kids just don't get it.
Lili and Fei worked. So they came out later with the dogs for fire. They arrived with all the drama only they can muster. Coco had thrown up three times on the drive. On Fei, on herself, on Sasha all in Lili's car. So I cuddled Coco and Jia took Sasha. The puppies were both so relieved to see us that they crashed on our laps for the evening. It was hard to hand them back for the torturous drive back. Fei was begging me to keep them but we had no supplies and Kai and I left early from the campsite to a hearing test in Nanaimo. Everyone one survived the night. Coco was only sick once more on the way home. Poor little girl. Motion sickness sucks.
I didn't think he would tolerate wearing a mask but he was a rockstar about it. Plus there was Taco Bell to look forward to. His hearing tested normal again. They keep sending us. If a test showed hearing loss he would have the perfect trifecta of needs to get the most therapies and the coveted specialty vision therapy he doesn't quite qualify for. Which is moot because there isn't the right kind of therapy available on the island anyways and we aren't too excited about going to Children's for therapy of any kind.
Our elementary kids are back to school tomorrow. Kai isn't thrilled. I tried to talk to him about things being different but he started to cry immediately. Once there are tears there is no listening. I know there are fun things planned. Fingers crossed for a smooth transition. Luk and Jia would prefer not going back and at the same time they're a bit excited too.
