Summer fun... So far.

It's been an interesting summer so far. We haven't done as much as I would ideally like to do, but it's been busy at the same time. Aric's mom was up to visit for a month and I was baby sitting at the same time. We did go swimming, and out to Banff, but mostly we were working in the basement. We are developing a room for Naomi, a room for Aric and I, a bathroom and storage room. We are very xcoted about the prospect of getting the basement done and moving in in our lives.

We started off the summer with a trip out to Brooks for Canada day. You can see the joy in the kids face as we head to My cousin Joanne's house for boating and fun. Boating, followed by movie in the park and fireworks.

The next day water fights in the back yard

Naomi did so well on her soccer team

Sylas had fun pretending that he cared

For my birthday i decided that I wanted to do the luge at Vanada Olympic Park. It's basically real life Mario cart down a track on the side of the ski hill. It was a plast. The Gnomes and I enjoying the ski lift up

Sylas had an absolute ball if you can't tell from his face.

The kids enjoying the silts of Johnsons canyon in Banff.

With is new best friend

Next was Magrath days. Always a good time! More candy thrown from this parade than remember. There is a Definate parent tax. 

We went for the free pancake breakfast outside of the museum, then we decided to show the kids some of the history of the town. Here they are pretending to be horses tied to the hitch

In the evening before the fireworks we headed out to Aric's mission companions house in Raymond. We met up with another companion who was out from Quebec with his family. They had a ball reminiscing of mission times

Looking through photos 

Took the kids to their dentist appointments this last week. Boy they love going

He was too much fun with the spit sucker

Getting her X-rays, and she did so well.

Having fun with her own spit sucker, not really enjoying the Florida though

This last weekend we took the kids out camping. We went to a place called Wyndham-Carsland provincial park and loved it! Great spot that will definately go to again. The is have so much fun getting up way too early, and sleeping in the tent.  We got them a couple of air mattresses this year and they were in heaven!

This is pure joy right here

Can we get up yet?

we walked along the river and found a nice spot to throw some rocks I 

she refused to use the outhouse! So I stacked some logs for her to sit on and pee in the corner of the site. She was so excited about that

Poor boy had his first experience with with being bite my a wasp, and being stung with something that left its stinger in him. Here he is napping it off

We are going to try and fit one more camping trip in this year. But not unti, we head south for wedding in Utah. I'm e cited to take the kids around and show them Salt Lake City and all that it has to offer. 

Well TTFN
