Donut Falls

This was our fourth of July activity. We headed up to the Canyon to go for a hike at Donut Falls. It was a pretty warm day but beautiful. All the kids including Jamie ready to go. I love how Jamie was wearing a Canada shirt on July 4. LOL



Our little monkeys hiding in the forest.


Our family picture at the falls. Unfortunately we were not able to make it all the way to the falls because there was too much water but we had a great time getting there.


Rylan finding his own path. :)

Friends

I love the these pictures. It has been a real joy getting to know this family. Jamie and Mike served in the same mission and we have been going down to visit them since Rylan was a baby and it has been great to watch our children grow. They have now passed us by having baby number 5 but at least all the kids have someone to play with. All of our kids are within about 6 months of each other which makes it really fun.
This is Stefan and Kaitlyn

G6

Rylan and Madison


Keagan and Joseph


Darien and Ashley.


We had to laugh at all the pictures. We aren't to sure if everyone enjoyed having them taken but we thought that it was pretty cute. ;)

Fire Works

We had a wonderful evening spent at our friends the Goldhart's parents home. We had a bbq and played in their beautiful back yard. They had the most amazing trees complete with a hanging swing.



Darien and Ashley playing football.


Rylan and Madison playing in the fort.


After dinner it was time to head to the fireworks. Being so close to the fourth of July there was a lot of fireworks going off every were. We had to wait a little while but it was totally worth it.


This is the picture of their whole family. We had a lot of fun hanging with them


Of course it wouldn't be a celebration without "Shave Ice" and boy was it yummy.


The kids were all really excited to get glow sticks and play with them. Stefan thought it was cool to try and look through it.


The final countdown. When the fire works did finally come which was at about 10:30 they were amazing. They definitely went big. LOL It was a great evening.

Great Rest Stop

This was one of the best rest stops that we have ever been to in all of our travels. It was in Idaho some were and we all really enjoyed it. It was located on what used to be lava flows. It was called "Hell's Half Acre Trail"



Stefan enjoying some of the views as we walked.


Looking out over we could see the remains of three old valcanoes. Thank goodness they had signs to explain everything.


This is not a very good picture but we figured that we would try and sent it up on the tripod to get a picture. Group pictures don't usually work out very well unless you have someone else taking it. LOL


The boys standing on top of some of the lava. Rylan really enjoyed this tour because he really wants to be a geologist one day. This was such a nice rest stop it is hard to believe that we have never seen it before. But we sure are glad that we saw it.

More Fun Great Falls Montana

I thought that these were some pretty fun pictures. This one of our stops on our way down to Salt Lake City.
In true boy fashion they needed to stretch and burn off some energy. :)

Welcome to Alberta

This is one of the things that I love about living in Alberta and especially were we live. We can stand out on our back deck and watch the storm come in and it is awesome. We can usually see the storm about 30 min. before it hits us. This was the most amazing cloud formation that I have ever seen and the kids really wanted me to take a picture.



I must admit that I was a little bit nervous watching this one more in an the wind that came with it was amazing but all was well. We did have to save some furniture but all survived. :)

With Honor

We are very proud of Darien because again this year he received honors for his grade. It is hard to believe that he will be going into grade 7 next year but it is so exciting.
Here he is getting his certificate.



The group picture of all the kids that received honors in grade 6.


And of course the cute girl standing beside him is his "friend". LOL Isn't she cute. :)


Mrs. Epp his wonderful teacher this year who really seemed to understand this age group. Darien really enjoyed having her as his teacher. What a great year.
