Sunday, Funday

It was a hot day, and we were getting squirrely.

So we headed to city park - they have a great water park.

 And I knew they had redone the playground, but we hadn't been by since then. We were delighted to find out it's dinosaur themed!

Liz and Ruben played on this merry go round thing.

And lounged in the shade.

Ruben REALLY wanted to play in the water.

But it was just a little too wet.

 Oh the agony.

Ada had no such issues!

Busy day, big sleep!

And thus ended another day.

The Cloverdale Rodeo Parade

For me, summer has a soft start with the Cloverdale Rodeo Parade and Fort Langley May Day Parade. And though my kids are great sports, it's always great when there are littles to bring along too.

Oh hey, I know a great little cowboy just itching to come along to the rodeo.

 Here we are with our best rodeo faces on. Oh yeah, look, we traded David for Jenna.

We like to get there early, so we get good seats. But sometimes that can be a little boring for our spectators.

Finally the parade started!

There was a lot of free candy. It's hard not to eat it all at once.

When auntie won't let you have any more candy and you just have to imagine you're eating it.

Then we came home and drove our cars around.

May Long Weekend Festivities

One lovely Thursday in May, I drove to Horseshoe Bay after work. It was lovely.

No idea what these flowers are, but they were lovely.

 After wandering around for a while, I got myself a VIP pass. Oh wait, it says visitor. Anyway...

I wandered up to the arrivals lounge and who should be there, but these adorable little critters!

They left their dad and led the way out.

We took a few shots by the tourist traps outside the terminal.

On Friday, the kids came to work with me until I could get a sitter. ha ha

After school, the big kids coloured.

The smaller ones played in the school playground.

Ruben made friends.

It was a warm day, so we headed to Ralph's for ice cream.

Dinner, baths and thus ended the first day.
