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.

The Enchanted Forest

We stopped here on our way out to Vernon BC. It was walking paths with cement ornaments of nursery rhyme and story book characters. The kids had a lot of fun, looking at everthing and going inside all the houses.
The castle was the first thing we stopped at inside the park. In the basement of the castle was a dungen, it was dark and kinda scarry but the kids had to go and see it a couple of times.

This is one of the little houses that the kids where able to go into, I can't remember whice house this was, maybe the three bear's house.

At the end of the park there was a place to feed the ducks. The baby ducks came close enough that Ember was able to touch one of them.

Student of the Year!!

Ember won Student of the year two years in a row! Great Job Ember, we are so proud of you!

A Bug Story

The grade 1-3's put on a play called " A Bug Story". It was about a bunch of bugs that were going to a picnic and didn't want the stink bug to come. The bugs ended up finding a way to include the stink bug in the picnic. Ember was the stink bug. I took a video of it but it is too long to post on here. If you want to see it let me know and i can show it to you sometime.

Baby bunnies

We went out to visit Kevin, Tosha and the boys out in Griffin. They boys had got three bunnies in the spring, and the bunnies had babies a couple of times. this is some of first babies born, i think they were born around Easter time.

This is Ember holding all seven of the little baby bunnies that are about three weeks old. I was surprised how small they were. they were really cute.

all of the kids ended up crawling inside the cage to see the rabbits, the pic with all of the kids didn't really turn out.

Ember's Track day

Ember had a good day at track this year. She got three firsts and four seconds in the indivdual competions. She had to compete against kids the same age as her. they also had team competions. All the team names were names of music bands, Ember's team was Led Zeppelin. She had never even heard of the band. Each of the teams were made up of kids from kindergarden up to grade six. Ember's team had the most points at the end of the day, and they won first place for the team competions.

this is when they found out they won first for the team.
