Loving this weather!

Well, not the weather we experienced on the Victoria Day Weekend...we decided to pack up and head home Sunday morning since we awoke to (no exaggeration) 5 degree weather and drizzle. You know it's cold when the kids are inside at the campground with hoodies and the furnace cranked up! I shouldn't complain, Friday we opened the trailer, had a nice fire til the wee hours of the night and had a good morning at the pond on Saturday---loads of Sun Fish! That's when it ended...the weather forecast was wrong and it began to rain and rain and rain.


Sunday Morning...brrr! It all worked out in the end, Kev, Carole and kids came down Sunday afternoon, as did Wade, Nicole and Dad and we had a nice bbq on Victoria Day...and Colleen and kids joined us - everybody was there (Mom too!) except Steve who is still at Fire Fighting school.
Some cute shots between gardening...AWWW!



Feeding the geese at Waterworks - what a gem of a park we have!


Kelsey practicing her sax - I envy the opportunity she has to learn another instrument free of charge - keep at it babe! I hope she capitalizes on it and continues playing it right through highschool!


Track and field day - a 31 degree day!!!


Maggie snug as a bug in her newly decorated room - I do say - I LOVE to paint and lately I have the painting itch! "SIGH" thinks Bri.


Another milestone for our family! The time has come that we can all go out (to a restaurant) and eat - leisurely that is. It was so exciting to be able to go out for dinner and see a movie with the whole family and thoroughly enjoy it. Mags and Trent were so good. However, Shrek 3 was a major let down...don't waste your money! Trent (above) with the free mask.

The kids were very impressed with the balloon lady at the restaurant, as were Brian and I!

Oma and Opa came for a visit and our lovely neighbours brought over a huge piece of their anniversary cake for all of us to share...thanks Linda, it was delicious!

And finally, the finished product! We absolutely love it! Now time to start planting some pots to add some color and VOILA, R & R time shortly! So, consider this an invitation to come have a coffee some afternoon or a beer (or glass of wine) some evening with us. TATA.
