Last week the kids painted Christmas bobbles, made paper
Santa’s, marshmellow snowmen and reindeer, and ate gingerbread. We even had a
large Santa standing in the lodge for a while. He sang off-key Christmas songs
and did a sort of jolting dance. He ended up being put away – I’m not sure
whether it was for fear that the children might break him or because he was
scaring them!

Other activities of the week included lots of swimming,
playing with kittens, soccer, a daily dance class with Erica (our program coordinator), and numerous renditions of “Let It Go” at the
talent show. Brendan even joined in with the singing:

We had a dance party on Friday night, for the first time
this summer. The lodge was decorated with Christmas lights and we danced like
crazy until the old folks were too tired to go on. I think the kids would have
gone all night if we had let them! The bigger ones anyway – we let Liam stay up
until his eyes began to glaze over and then Brendan brought him home. Though
from what I hear he still put up a fight before going to sleep – it’s hard to
leave a good party!
I had a nice chat with one of the moms on Saturday. She was
here for the first time with her three boys. She said that the older ones had
gone through a bit of wifi withdrawal, but the younger one was having a blast.
He told her he had never been so happy in his life. It doesn’t get much better
than that!
My three boys are pretty happy here too:
