Day Nineteen - Sat 17th of Sept

Today we kind of just bummed around a bit in the morning. I got to speak to Mum and then we got ready to go to some garage sales and then onto the Bellingham Farmers Market. It is pretty cool, they have a website you can look at and it show you where some of the garage sales are around Bellingham. Leah and I both agreed that Grandpa and Aunt Becky would love that. We bought a little chair for Lucy and also a snow man for our Christmas tree. We then went onto the Bellingham Farmers Market. The whole time there I wished Becky was with me. She would have loved it. All fresh produce and locally made crafts and food. There was a little band there. They were playing country music with banjo, fiddle and guitar. We bought their CD for $5. There is a photo of the things we bought. Leah and I fell in love with the Babushkas that were hand made out of wool. We bought one and name her our Aunt Betty Babushka as she reminded us of Aunt Betty who we love so much.

Later in the afternoon while Lucy slept, Leah and I went down to the clubhouse. You have to have a special swipe card to get in. It was only 18 degrees but trying to be a good Mum I thought I would go with her. We were told it was heated. Leah jumped in first and said it was really warm. I was going to test the water first but thought no I'll bomby in next to Leah. Was it heated?? Yes Was it warm?? No. Lucky I jumped in because I don't know if I would have otherwise. We had fun swimming around to stay warm. We then decided to go in to use the hot tub. When we tried to get back into the club house we couldn't we were locked out. I phoned Ward and he came done to the rescue. We explored the clubhouse more and found a squash court and table tennis. So for Family Home Evening on Monday night we are going to go down and play. That night it was great to relax together. I think Ward is tired of me asking him to take photos with his I phone. We are using it as our camera at the moment because we don't have one. One of my favourite photos captures how much Leah and Lucy love each other.
