What Can Brown Do For You

Our boys have been waiting to go wake boarding since Amy and Landon moved into our house because their family has a boat. So finally the day arrived when we could do it. It was in-between storms but he boys had a great time. I didn't actually get in the water but I had a great time watching and taking a ton of pictures.
Here is Keagan trying to get up. It is really tough but he tried really hard. I am sure that next time he will make it up

He was such a little trooper. He was shivering like a leaf when he finally got back in the boat. He wasn't even feeling very good and we found out the next day that he had strep throat, poor thing was so sick.

Rylan just chilling in the boat. The little ones didn't actually get in the water but they had fun cheering everyone on.

My boys love hanging out and Stefan loved everything about the boat ride.

Darien did really well and even managed to get up. But he found it very tiring. He was pretty proud of himself and so were we.

Here he is finally getting up. Yay!!!!!

Keagan kept trying, he was so determined. Love that.

Even Jamie decided to give it a try but he didn't have very much luck and didn't get up. But he had fun trying.

Stefan chilling.

All the kids at the front of the boat. It is so cute because they were all trying to stay warm.

Landon and his little followers. All the kids love him, he is so much fun.

My Little Helper

One of my favorite things to do has always been to bake cookies with my boys. This time is so precious and I love it. Stefan was so excited to help me especially with Jamie bringing home a new apron for him. LOL

He loves to taste the cookies, in fact he likes the dough more than the cooked cookies. LOL So much fun!!

Street Performers Festival

Edmonton is known for being the Capital for Festivals and so this year we are trying to take advantage of these. So we decided to head to the Street Performers Festival, were performers come from all over the world. It was amazing what some of these people can do.

There was so much for the kids to do. They had these little tents set up for the kids to play in with different puzzles in them.

Enjoying some lunch together.

They have this great wading pool with fountains that the kids can play in and since it was a warm afternoon they were very happy to cool off in it.

Darien cooling off.

Kids plus one friend all cooling off.

Rylan got all the way in. LOL We had a great afternoon and will try and go again next year.

There is Beauty

Our fun was finally over and we were on our way home. I am so thankful for the beauty that is all around and the canola fields with the dark sky behide looks to beautiful that we had to take a picture. We had a wonderful trip to Salt Lake and can't wait for next time. There is so much to do and see there.

Swimming in Salt Lake

Yes that is Rylan jumping off the "high" diving board at a great pool that we took the kids to for the day. I was very nervous watching him up there but he did great.

Stefan taking his turn off the lower diving board.

Rylan showing his flipping skills. He did great because he didn't land on his back.

The two monkeys.

Moooo

This was the funniest thing to me. At a fast food restaurant called "Chick Filet" they had a day were if you came dressed up as a cow you could get a free meal. Really only in America. LOL

So here we are all dressed up and enjoying our free meals. They kids had a great time.

They even had activities for the kids to do. They gave away a lot of free food this day. Amazing.
