When Lydia had her surgery, Claire went along to the hospital with her.

Claire is her American Girl doll that we found at Value Village last fall.

She injured an eye and so we sent her off to the American girl Doll Hospital.  Because her eye was defective, her visit to the hospital was free.  She came back with a Get Well balloon, a bracelet and a hospital gown.

Isn’t she cute? Now if only we could find her missing shoe.

It’s true!!!

The best things in life are free….or cheap.

The boys (mine and two extras) have been going to some free day camps put on by local churches.  They have been having a blast.  This week is pirate camp and next week is time travel.

I took the youngest two, Lydia and Finn for a walk/ride on Harbour passage this morning.
 
Finn was in the stroller- a freecycle stroller. :) Lydia on her bike that was either from a friend or freecycle. :)

They were thrilled with just watching the Coast Guard boat come in and seeing a train go buy.  She’s been waiting all summer to go for this ride.  Probably wasn’t the best day as she’s feeling yucky with a cold.

We saved a worm from the pedestrians.

This afternoon the 5 oldest are at the school playground program for an ice cream party.
