Morse Family Memories: JUNE 2017 News

Summary of the Family Camping Adventure:

Jaelyn's summary: Camping was fun! Our camping spot was awesome! It was on a big meadow of grass (I was expecting a lot of dirt). We hung out with Jordan’s dog, Zuri, the first day. Mia is obsessed with dogs, and Nelson loved Zuri! He took her on a hike with his hand on her the whole time. Once the 4-wheelers came we started riding them. Nelson was obsessed with the 4-wheeler, wanting to be on them at all times! Mia had a blow-up pool that she sat in most of the time. The first night Jeremy pulled out his fun movie screen. It was like a big tall sheet, and we watched Moana. Colin and Brigg knew every single word to every song. Nelson said, “I love Moana” (although he hadn’t seen it before). The next day, we went 4-wheeling again, and Heather pulled out her craft projects for the kids. We had fun painting birdhouses and treasure boxes! Sarah’s activity was ice busting. You had to chip away the ice, or wait for it to melt to get to the toy inside. The boys got a 4-wheeler toy, and Ellie got some ponies. The boys dug in some dirt with shovels to make jumps for their 4-wheeler toys. We had a lot of fun at the lake throwing rocks and riding in the rafts. Chris jumped out of the raft into the freezing cold water. He said it was soooo cold! At night we pulled out glow sticks. On the ride home we stopped at TC for lunch and ice cream shakes. Then the trailer tire exploded, so we had to pull over on the side of the road while Jason & Chris replaced the tire. That was our “getting home” adventure. We didn’t get home until 6 at night. Jason & Sarah probably didn’t get home until 8pm (It was a long travel day).

Lucky & Tammy

Sunny June days (between the rainy days) are beautiful in Canada! Tammy rides her bike on all non-rainy days to the office, and loves the "into the woods" bike trail! We had a fun quick trip to Niagara Falls and enjoyed riding our bikes near the falls. We also enjoyed experiencing National Aboriginal Day (June 21st) at a Brampton downtown celebration. It was an extra special Father's Day treat to see Lucky & Liv's picture in the Canadian National Mormon Newsroom! We had one very scary weekend when Tammy's computer hard-drive crashed and she was really worried that she'd lose all of her files (7 years of her life).. Thankfully, all the files were successfully transferred to the newly purchased computer (BestBuy).
