A quick trip Westward...

 Ever since Colin and Candace's wedding (2years ago) we have loved Canmore, Alta!  We finally made it back there the 2nd week of November. 
The girls enjoying a quick stop to stretch their legs!


In Drumheller, there are little dinosuars all over the town....


This is inside the dinosaur museum at Drumheller.






And as if we hadn't seen enough dinosaurs yet, we climbed up inside this big guy to view the town!


This is it from the outside


Finally at the hotel, kids had been itching to go watersliding!




This was the start of our mountain hiking adventure....


Some beautiful views!






This was our favorite spot after we climbed about an hour up.  Water was the most clear crisp water to drink!




Well, she walked almost the whole way, but gave out near the end!


We got to visit this cutie in Calgary- Keaston Kneesch (cousin Annette and Darryl's boy)


And lucky for us Mr. Max came to see us!

An evening in L.A......

 Wow these pics have been a long time coming!  At the beginning of November our worker's had gone up to La Ronge (2.5hrs north) to have some gsp mtg's in Matt and Jeannie Coe's home with a couple of contacts they had.  Richard's parents were out visiting him at the time and so were in on these times.  We decided one of the nights to drive up after the kids got out of school and surprise the boys and treat ourselves to the gsp mtg and meet these contacts.
The three families- Matt and Jeannie, us, as well as Lyle (Tom Young's nephew) and his two girls with him on the left.  He was the only contact that could attend this mtg.


This picture adds Richard and Steve as well as Richard's parents, Lawrence and Linda King from Prince George.


We enjoyed having Lawrence and Linda and the boys that same week in our home.  Had some music in there as well!

Krazy Kids!

 One awesome Saturday morning we headed out to the cornmaze south of PA.  It is on the edge of a farmer's field and there just happened to be some bales that the kids had a "hayday" on ( I think they were straw, but oh well)!  Richard and Steve came along with the kids and I.  These are the pics that Steve took.
All on top of the bale!




Uncle Steve joined them!





This was Brydon's fav thing to do!







Here she goes!



What goes up must come down....



And a graceful landing


There was no way Kiera was going anywhere!

Fall 'n' Leaves

While some kids might do the expected "jumping in the leaves", my kids have found out it is much more fun to use them to make a fort.  They gave me a tour showing me the main family room, the bathroom,  and each child's individual bedroom.  For hours they hauled and raked leaves, not only from around our yard, but also from the neighbours and I even caught them once pulling them off the tree themselves.  I didn't know how precious these dear leaves could be, but now I do!
They were very lucky to have uncle Steve as their main raking man!

Kiera enjoying her room in the leaf fort!
After a couple of weeks of playing in the fort, it was time to put the fort in bags!

Last post continued....the whole gang!

This is continued from the last post - and were all taken from Steve's camera.  We were glad to have someone around who was patient enough to get a pic of us all!

The Kostenuk side cousins

This was a fun pic of both of their parents- Candace's mom and dad (Barry and Cynthia Brake) were out visiting from Newfoundland

Our immediate family 

This pic included Barry and Cynthia as well as April Fair


These next few were some Steve had taken when they were out fishing- the kids were soooo excited to go fishing.  Bria loved to cast, and reel in her catches but it stopped there. No touching whatsoever!  Brydon loved everything there was about fishing!
