Lac Le Jeune

We went on our first annual family camping trip Aug 17, 18 & 19th. We got there after 8pm Friday night and met up with Dad, Paulette, Darcy, Jodi & Peyton. After setting up camp we relaxed with a few drinks and roasted marshmallows.



MMM gotta love the marshmallows.



Relaxing and visiting.





Saturday we were joined by Ma & Pa, Brodie, Andrea & Carson. Ma brought tonnes of prizes for the kids and the fun and games began.

But first it was breakfast.



Then the treasure hunt with Ma & Pa's metal detector.



The only brave souls that went into the water. It was chilly.



Let the games begin...



Run, Braden, run. Beat those slow grandpa's. LOL.



Let's roll.





And another fun race, hold hands at all times.



After a late lunch early dinner the chocolate came out. RUN...



Later there was some fishing off of the dock and playing at the playground.







Saturday night Braden got sick, threw up in tent UGH. Sunday morning was poring rain so we left early. Once we got home the kids slept almost all day.

Here are some random pics.









All in all we had a great weekend. Thanks everyone, can't wait to do it again next year.

Fletcher Park & Water Park

We went and picked up the kids on Monday. It's great to have them home again.

This evening we took them to the new park and water park. Tonns of fun was had by all.

The kids loved these chairs. They spin in circles.











Here comes the WATER...

Our Journey :)

Mike had a week of Holidays and I had 5 days off so we had a spur of the moment trip to Grande Prairie and Edmonton to see Mike's brother and sister.

We drove to Hinton the first day and grabbed a hotel for the night. Our real adventure began the next morning. Andrew slipped in the bathtub and got cut right above his right eye. We found the only walk in clinic and the Doctor put on some steri strips and covered it. Off we went to Grande Prairie to see Mike's Brother and his girlfriend.

Once we got there we had exhausted our CD's so we decided to go and buy a satellite radio. We did a bit of shopping then headed over to Paul's. Had a great handmade hamburger BBQ and a great visit as well.

Next day: Edmonton. What a boring drive from Grande Prairie to Edmonton. It was so flat you could see as far as the eye could see. Once there we went to Mike's sisters. He hadn't seen her in 15 years. After visiting with her for a bit we took a drive to the neighbourhood where he lived for 4 years. He actually knocked on the door of their old home and took a look around. Spent the night at his sister's and got up at the crack of dawn.

Wednesday we started the long journey home. A trip well worth the while. It was great to just pick up and go.

Here are some pics of our journey.























Check out the face on the mountain.











I know lots of pics, but I like to share. We took over 150 pic's.

We took Andrew's dressing off last Saturday and lo and behold he woke up with a nasty rash on the right side of his face. By Monday morning his eye was so swollen that he could barley open it, so off to the Dr.'s again. The Dr. put him on an antibiotic for skin irritation. So with the med's and hydro cortisone cream he is getting better. He finished his meds yesterday, the rash is still there but it looks so much better, so we will continue with the cream. Oh and his cut is all healed. What next?

Off to Vancouver tomorrow to pick up the rug rats for Monday. We actually have to take the horseshoe bay ferry over and pick them up on the island it's going to be a long day so we are leaving tomorrow after I am done work. Probably around 12 - 1 pm.

More updates later.
