Rocking the dock....
Susie and Chris were rocking the dock so much that it was scaring Abby......and I was joking that if they broke it off and it sailed away we were NOT going to go and get them!!!!
Thursday...
Yesterday Lloyd and his Dad continued to work on the tree fort they've been building in the woods. Terry and I relaxed on the deck all day recovering from the day before :) Reading, chatting and enjoying the sunshine - it is SUCH a sun trap there :)
I was a little hung over from mixing my drinks the day before...wine and Becks don't really go together lol ;) So although we had planned to spend the day at Fort Edmonton, we all decided a relaxing day at home was called for!!
Laurence phoned and asked to sleep over at the twins for a third night! Chris asked me to drive him over to the school where he had arranged to meet a group of friends. His friend Darcy was directing a movie and Chris was Assistant Director.
Late afternoon we packed up the car and headed to Elk island Park for a drive. Went up to Astotin Lake and found there was no one there!!! I guess everyone was recovering from Canada Day!!! We went for a walk along the boardwalk - stopping for photographs, pond dipping - to watch the tadpoles (they are really late there - and still in tadpole form!!!!). We watched a squirrel in the wood for a while, sat by the playground for a while and the children played. Terry sat and wrote a postcard.
We drove through the bison trail to see the gophers and got some pictures of them, and on the way home came across a herd of bison in the middle of the road - with their babies. Very sweet!!!
Came home and had a BBQ with a nice salad and then we watched 'Don't Mess with the Zohan' which Terry and Chris hadn't seen!
Nice relaxing day.
A Canadian Movie for Canada Day....
We spent a couple of hours on Canada Day evening, relaxing with a Canadian movie.
I liked the quotes: "How do you know you're in love?"
"If you've got to ask - you're not"
And:
"You live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world"
"I know"
So my question to you is - if you had only one week to live - what would you do? We've been talking about this a LOT ever since as it's the main theme of the movie.....I KNOW what I'd do - do YOU???????
Pictures with the flag - an annual tradition.....
Each year we try to take pictures with our Maple Leaf Flag.....this year we were interrupted by Sam falling off the trailer and cutting open his head (sigh.....). He had not had his pictures taken yet, hence the fact his pictures ended up being taken of him looking rather sad, lying on the sofa, with the flag as a blanket. Still, we will ALWAYS remember now, what happened on THIS Canada Day ;)
