Gold-panning at the gem mine :)








The guy who ran the mine spent ages talking to the children about all the different types of gem stones, explaining what the ones they found were.....and showed them a Geode and the amethyst inside....they each came away with a bag of gems to take home.  Sam had 17 :)

Driving the dino-car




And Abby on the monkey bars:

Easter babies petting zoo....

















A minute to myself....


There were a few moments during the day where I got to sit on a straw bale in the sunshine and relax...catch up on facebook - add a few pictures and enjoy people watching!!!  The children were busy in the playground or petting zoo for so long that I got to just enjoy a moment or two to myself :)

Sexy boots huh???  ;)

Mud glorious MUD!!! :)


 The highlight of the day for the kids was playing in the mud!!!  We had specifically brought our welly boots because we knew it would be really muddy there...and it WAS!!  HUGE puddles and lots of lovely squidgy squelchy mud :)  Sam was in his element and adored it.  Mind you, so did the girls :)  Even I was squelching my feet in the mud :)
Springtime in Alberta :)













Snapshots from our Easter Saturday....

One of the highlights of my day was Sam who had pulled off a fluffy piece of Pussy Willow and talked about it for a long while....he asked if I could make him a blanket filled with them as they are so soft...and he kept calling it 'Wussy Pillow' by mistake :)
Love him :)










Prairie Gardens Easter Festival.











We had such a FUN day today.  Susannahs friend Cassie slept over last night, but we made sure not to have too late a night, so we could all get up and head out today!!  We headed up to Bon Accord to the Prairie Gardens for their Easter Festival.  I bought an annual pass last week through one of those daily deal things....It gets our family in to every festival they have this year and it was only $60!!!  It would cost us nearly that just to get in today!!!

Tractor trailer rides, egg hunts, fishing pond, petting zoo with baby animals...haunted house (yes it was open lol) big go carts, crafts to make and do...face painting, bale mazes, gem mining....so much to enjoy :)  

We were there until after it closed...and I came home EXHAUSTED but happy :)
