Long Weekend Family Fun

 

We just had a wonderful long weekend...

Jon and Tiff came up with Ava and Josh on Saturday.

It was so good to see them again...Josh is now 3 and growing up so big....it was his birthday weekend. He loved the hot tub and wanted to keep playing forever!

 

 

 

 

They were excited to go see an outdoor concert at Winston Churchill Square with Disney music on Saturday evening.

Ava dressed up in her best princess dres for the occasion. She looked so cute!

Cam and D came over with Brooke, McKinley, Brynn, and Colby. They had fun together all weekend long.

They coloured outside on the sidewalks...not exactly sure what that's supposed to be!

 

We Had a great BBQ with all the fixings including Taber corn, thanks to Tiff!

Jon and Cam has some 'catching up' to do, so why do it shucking corn.

The kids started playing with the apples in the backyard and decided they wanted to make some apple crisp...but first they had to recruit the adults to help get the good apples down off the tree.

It was so funny watching Jon try batting them down...they would come down, but then get mixed in with the bad ones.

I was laughing so hard, it was like he was trying to smash a piñata!

 

Finally, Lindsay got on James shoulders and started to hand them down to Brooke.

Poor James...he is such a good sport!!

We did end up with some lovely apples from our backyard tree.

Grandpa had fun peeling the apples with Ava, Brooke and McKinley.

They really enjoyed seeing how fast an apple peeler works! Their apple crisp turned out delicious!

Joshie got a really great ice cream cake for his birthday!

He loves tractors and trucks, and he got several for his birthday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was especially fun letting the kids get to know Ivy a little better, she is getting growing up so fast...-almost three months already!

 

It's a good thing Joshie likes babies because he is going to be a big brother in a few months!

On Monday, we went to Sothgate Mall and did a little shopping and had some lunch. The kids loved visiting the Lego store...and are showing off their treasures. It was a great weekend to be together again!

Mark was away for most of it hiking the West Coast Trail with a few friends. It was a good experience for him...he loved the trail. Doug and I want to go back with him next year!!
