Buffalo Pound park

We had fun at the beach making sand castle's. Zander had a bad guy castle with all its evilness.

we buried all three kids with sand, they had fun but it didn't last long

Ember was the queen of her castle, she had made a throne to sit on in the middle of her castle.

The kids had fun in the boat even though it wa really windy. They had fun with the big waves and floating away.

Visit with Grandpa Barry

Our first boating experience

Jay pick up a fishing boat this spring and we took it out for the first time on Sunday afternoon. They boys were kind of scared to get in at first but neither of them wanted to get out at the end of the day. We tried a little fishing, we didn't have much luck. Ember had a fish on her line but didn't realize it until she looked down and seen it by the side of the boat when she was reeling in her line. She got really excited but the fish got away before we got it in the boat. Maybe we will have better luck next time.

Jay's Trip

When the kids and I went to BC for a holiday, Jay went down to Louisiana to see Courtney and Austin. He took lots of pictures and we would love to show everyone but the kids asked us not to put them on the blog so we are respecting their wishes. If you want to see the pictures you will have to come for a visit and take a look at the photo album.

Calgary Zoo

We spent a few hours here while we waited to pick Jay up at the airport. This was the first time the kids had been to a zoo so they liked looking at all the different animals. We will have to go back again sometime and spend more time there.

Random pics at J'nea's

Fun at the Beach

We spent a lot of time at the beach during our week. We went to three different beaches, on of them we drove about 10 min to get to the other two were in view of J'nea's house. The water was so clear, something we are not use to living in southern Sask. The kids spent more time playing in the sand then in the water as the water was a little cool. The kids loved going and kept asking when we were going to go to the beach again, sometimes right after we got back to the house.

Polson Park

We went to this park to see the giant clock and to feed the ducks. The design on the clock is made flowers and every year it has a different design. The clock was not working the day we went but normally it tells the correct time.

Davison Orchards

There was a little playground and a petting farm at this place. The kids had fun feeding the animals.

this pic shows a pully system that you can put treats in a cup for the goats, and the goats go to the top of the bridge and pull the cable up to get the treats. The kids tried to see if the goat would try and get his treats but he was to lazy the day we were there.

Silver Star & BX fallls

These pics are of Silver Star ski resort. All of the buildings were painted bright colors, something we are not use to seeing. We went for a little walk and took in the view. We were surpised by the temp change when we got there, it was chilly and the kids wanted a sweater, which I didn't bring because it was so nice when we left the house.

We hiked down a little path to get to BX falls. It was not a huge waterfall, but it was very nice, there. We stayed for a while and the kids played in the water at the bottom of the falls. They though the waterfall was cool and had a lot of fun. Zander wanted to go across to the other side of the little stream to be like the big kids. I tried to carry him across and fell. I ended up getting three stiches on my foot and a swollen knee. At least it was me that got hurt and not one of the kids. Zane didn't want to get his picture taken at all on this day.
