The last two weeks of August - before school starts again - Terry and I have been hanging out with our grandkids a little more...
Once school starts, life gets busy for them.
One day last week, we played with Jericho. (Actually, we watched him build forts!)
Later that same day, we went to watch Ivy's final activity at "spy camp" - at the Diefenbunker, the cold-war era bomb shelter built to hold key government officials - in case there was a war. Now it's a museum.
Walking through the bunker, we passed this "family kitchen" in the underground building. Not sure how many "families" would be there. After realizing that there would be no room for their families, even the Prime Minister balked at the idea of going into the bunker.
The underground shelter was named after John Diefenbaker, Canada's prime minister at that time.
At a mock trial, all the campers presented "evidence" as to why they thought this or that "agent" had committed a crime.
For the children, it was a good opportunity to gain confidence speaking in front of an audience - as well as a lot of fun!
