Spring Visit: Kitchen Renovation

April 30, 2019

The Chelsea Bowmans have started work on their kitchen. Grandpa, Barbara and Grant arrived with their trailer to help dispose of construction waste.  The adults pushed it up the driveway and then went inside to check out the construction.  It’s looking bright with the one wall removed.  The boys and Grant had good jumps on the trampoline and showed us they can still zoom on their zipwire. Sam showed us where his snow quinsy had been – not much left, but he and Ross now had built a shelter in the woods. Our visit ended with a family walk – a run for Sam and Mama and a bike ride for David.

After their sugar bush cabane brunch with Karine’s family, the Bowman boys came to 9 Lambert for the Bowman family Easter Sunday get-together:

• bike and scooter check with Grandpa
• baseball practice on the street (Sam is on a ball team again this year)
• making Easter bunny hummus dip
• Jenga game with raisin boxes
• Easter egg hunt
• Easter dinner
  
  

Another year to celebrate Spring together.

Last Maple Syrup

April 13, 2019

It was a beautiful sunny day for winding up maple syrup production. When Grandpa, Barbara and Grant arrived at the boys’ house to help, Sam, David, Ross and Fiona were having fun playing outside.

Barbara manned the boiling sap for awhile and Grandpa dug out the fire pit. Maman and Papa worked in the kitchen to complete the boiling and fill the jars.

Boots rested in the sun and the boys moved inside for playtime.

Maman brought some refreshments outside and Grandpa and Barbara hiked down the road to bird and to cut some pussy willows.

David decided he wanted to bike so Grant followed him.  We all ended up at the Fire Station where Grandpa, Barbara and Grant got into their car to leave and David biked home with his parents and Boots.  Sam was playing a game over at Ross and Fiona’s house.  It had been a fun afternoon for everyone.
