Tree Climbing

On our vacation, we have had lots of time to spend playing with the cousins. Here we are at Springwater Provincial Park, climbing one of the most interesting trees we have ever seen.




Rustle did not make the flight to Ontario. He is busy at his favourite doggy camp. He was so excited to go that he jumped out of the car window when we stopped across the street! We miss him, but we know he is enjoying himself.


EDIT: I mentioned how cool the tree was, but you can't see it in these pictures. Here's a shot of the amazing tree:

Badminton

While friends in the neighbourhood have outdoor pools and trampolines, our tiny backyard was sadly lacking in fun stuff for kids to do.

Not any longer!

We are now able to invite friends to play badminton in the backyard! Just as long as they don't hit the birdie too hard...

The Maiden Voyage of the Bob Special

We set out aboard the S.S. Bob Special for our first canoe trip in the mountains. It was a lovely summer day to launch Bob's birthday present from almost a year ago. We chose Gap Lake, near Exshaw, and it was great - little wind and beautiful scenery. Alison even took us for a solo tour of the calmer waters at one end of the lake, and Mom got out to take some pictures of Sarah and her dad paddling a resting Alison over to our picnic spot.
