At the cabin

Lee is finally done his summer job and doesn't have to be at his new job for a couple weeks, so we decided to come back to the cabin for a while. We invited our friends Dave and Tracy and there family who came to the cabin for a couple of days.

Zoë went ski biscuiting for the first time and loved it.


Zoë with Daddy and Britlynn with her dad, it was Britlynn's first time too.

Dave couldn't get Lee in the water so my dad's friend Orvil gave it a shot.

Lee holding on, but ended up going in.

Over the Pass

I thought I should put up some pictures of the last couple days at the cabin as I haven't done a new post for awhile. We went over the pass this time and went for a walk on the boardwalks at the end. Our kids are SO good at travelling, we rarely ever hear them complain.


A very weird looking tree that we saw


We walked over to a little river that the kids threw some rocks into.

Zoë's 3rd Birthday Party

My baby girl turned 3 today, she is no longer in the terrible two's! This is the first year she has gotten excited about her birthday party and has been talking about it for months.

Playing dress-up after the party. She got so spoiled with all her presents.


She had a bug theme party, butterflies, ladybugs, and any bug that you would normally find in the backyard. It worked well as we had different ages of children and boys and girls.

My sister-in-law Jenn and I made a butterfly cake and ladybug cupcakes. Jenn didn't know too much about decorating but she learned quick and was a huge help.


At midnight the night before, almost done.

We decided to jump in the lake after the party and cool down, it was DEFINITELY cool.


and a little slimy.. eww.

Allergies

Yesterday Dreyton started developing large hives all around his body, I took him into the doctors and they say its most likely an allergic reaction to something he ate. Hopefully we can figure out what it was and not let it happen again.




2nd allergy attack 2 days later
I took him once again to the doctors and they said they'd try to get him referred to an allergy doctor to see what he is allergic too.

The Cabin

Lee has finally stopped working in the evenings and so we decided to take a very last minute trip to the cabin. We were able to convince Uncle Dave 4 hours before leaving to come from Edmonton, so he met us just before we left Calgary and drove with us. We had lots of fun and no one wanted to come home, but we'll be back in a few weeks again before Lee starts articling.


Trying to blow out Dreyton's first roasted marshmallow

Apparently he didn't like the sight of his own burned marshmallow, he had stuffed another one out of the bag in his mouth.

Zoë seemed to like her smore's

and eventually Dreyton did too

Zoë has no fear, she loved riding the sea doos

and she loved jumping in the lake, she could have stayed in there forever

she also loved going on the side by side quad rides, it's great to be able to put them in a car seat and just go.

Dreyton wasn't enjoying the quad ride at first but as soon as they started going he loved it

I am not sure who plays harder, Lee or the kids

Elbow Falls

The other day my family went to Elbow Falls for a few hours for a picnic and to walk around

The Zoo

My mom, Dayna and I and the kids went to the zoo the other day.

They all went on this train that just goes around a bit of the zoo and goes slow enough so parents can walk along.

They all had lots of fun in the train. Drew was still a little young as they have a strict rule that they have to sit or they will get kicked off. This one worker there needs some lessons on how to talk to a one year old, or at least talk to the parent of the one year old. She kept threatening him like he understood every word she was saying.

Dreytons favourite part was seeing the tiger, he kept growling at it.

Zoë and Jayden were hard to keep track of at the park, they are so big and independent now.

Having a special treat before heading home.
