Our Busy Life

I guess it's about time for an update.

Let's start with the parade. Ashley took part in the Fall Fair Parade with the Girl Guides of Canada, they collected food for the food bank. She had a blast. Mike had to work that morning so I took Braden and Andrew to watch the parade and of course they had a great time collecting CANDY!







After the Parade we took the kids to the fair. We checked out the animals and displays but the best part was the west coast amusments.

Ashley and I went on the farris wheel, it wasn't as fun as I remembered. I remember it going around in both diretions but this one only went the one way. However, Ashley loved it, that's what counts right.

Braden and Mike were the brave ones though They went on a ride(can't remember the name of it) that went in circles and spun around three different ways. I got dizzy watching them, they had an absolute blast.

Now on a different note school has started. Ashley is now in grade three and Braden started Kindergarten. They both seem to be enjoying it so far. Keeping my fingers crossed. We meet the teachers tonight.

Ashley started her second year of Brownies last week and she is hoping to be a first or second circle leader this year.

Braden is now enrolled in Beavers. He had his first meeting last week and has another one tonight. He is excited about it and has to sell popcorn already, however it is a bit expensive. But who knows, we'll take him out this weekend to try to sell some popcorn.

My work is going good, my boss has agreed to give me all Wednesday's and Thursday's off to take the kids to Brownies and Beavers. Mike is busy as always at work and doing good.

That's all for now folks.

Demolition Derby

On August 26th we took the kids to the Salmon Arm Demolition Derby. The kids had a blast watching the cars crash into each other with front row seats. Let me tell you though it sucks when people try to stand right in front of everyone who is sitting. We got through the first three heats then it started pouring rain, so needless to say we didn't stay long after. All in all it was a great way to spend the day.

I loved this one: THE TANK



Let the smash up begin.
