I've decided that since I finally have a quiet weekend at home I will update this blog. We have had a busy, busy summer traveling to Utah, Stirling and Edmonton a ton. We have had so much fun and I wanted to share pictures of all the things we've been doing...
1. Ava's Graduation from preschool and year end party. Miss Connie and Miss Denise have been great teachers and Ava will miss them both. She keeps talking about wanting to go back to preschool instead of kindergarten in the Fall.
2. Allan and Danielle came out with the kids for a visit. Ava loves spending time with her cousins, Emma and Walker. They had a lot of fun with one another regardless of Ava being territorial.
3. We then took a long road trip down to Utah to visit Shane's mom in Mountain Home, had a brief visit with Mandy and were also able to stay with Rob, Amy and the family.
4. Kristi and Jared came out with the boys Canada Day long weekend. The weather was so terrible that it was hard to want to spend any time outside. We did go to the parade regardless and spent some time at the festivities. The boys were able to go out to the mine and see the big trucks...I think that was probably the highlight for them.
5. We spent a weekend down in Stirling to celebrate settler days. All the kids had so much fun swimming, going to the parade and playing together.
6. Spent some time in Jasper taking Ava to see Toy Story 3 and going swimming. Then the first part of August Jay and Kristi came with their boys for a visit. Jay and the boys had never been to Alberta and therefore had never had a chance to see the West Edmonton Mall. We spent a lot of time there...going to Galaxyland, Waterpark, Sea Life Caverns, Bowling, Mini Golf...pretty much everything there is to do there. Ava was so brave and went on so many of the rides at Galaxyland and the waterslide all by herself at the Waterpark.
7. We took Ava to the city to see her cousin Emma and to get her haircut. She loved, loved the pampering and had so much fun at the salon. Ava had a perma-grin the whole time and Lauren did a great job. We took the two girls shopping too and Ava had so much fun snapping pictures...she's quite the little photographer.
