Happy Birthday!

Every day should be Auntie’s  birthday party they are so much fun.  I think the birthday girl had the beach in mind; hope she had fun at the aquatic centre, her niece and nephews sure did.  We thought we were going to Splash Island water park, which was closed (terrible website), but ended up in a better place after all.

Spot the Danger Before You Play

CHAMP LogoYesterday when I was browsing the WarAmps website looking for a DRIVESAFE video to post on Facebook (apparently there are none), I watched a few PLAYSAFE videos.  WarAmps is in the middle of a summer push about lawnmowers.  I’ve watched these types of videos since I was a teenager, I’ve also been part of making a farm safety video.  I have heard numerous kids and parents talk about learning to mow the lawn this summer.  Recently a little girl ran up to our car as we were pulling into her yard, it freaked me out.  When L was little he had nightmares about cars, I felt a little guilty that I had made him so afraid.  Yesterday I remembered why; there is a lesson that the Loeppky children and now grandchildren have been learning since 1986…Whatever game you play PLAY SAFE!
