Summer is a beautiful time

Kyle and I have just returned from a trip to BC. We were on course in Squamish BC, it was awesome. The weather was great and we met some pretty amazing people, that is our group picture.
The course was 1 week and we spent a few days after in Seattle visiting Cornelia, Victor and the kids. Did some sight seeing and then hopped on a ferry and went to visit Aunt Mary and Uncle Lloyld in Victoria. We flew from Victoria to Vancouver on a sea plane. That was a great experience. If you ever get a chance it is worth it. The views are spectacular and if you are not in a hurry, you can go last minute and get a deal on the price. The highest they fly is only 2500ft.

The kids spent a week with my parents and then a week with Kyle's parents. The had a great time. Thank goodness for family. Here is a picture of them with grandpa Edginton.
Andrew just turned five and Natalie three. The are growing fast. Natalie always says that she is a big girl. When we returned from our trip, we went to Bird's Hill provincial park for their birthday party. Here are some pictures.

We had to protect the candles from the wind.

We are enjoying the Manitoba summer and spending time with family and friends. We are off camping at a friends place this weekend and looking forward to it. I do hope everyone has a good summer.

Happy Canada Day

Canada Day in Winnipeg
We all went down to the Forks Market Downtown and had a great time. We went early afternoon and caught a couple of shows. Even daddy had to do a little performance.

The kids did some crafts,(that is Natalie with the little blue hat)







and everyone had their face painted.
















(Mummy was taking the pictures, no face painting for her!)
Another fun day in the sun!
