start of summer

Thing 2 playing in the park at Jackfish Lake.
We went up for supper on Monday night.
I had an extra day off work for the long weekend.

He loves to play on the swings!

We were out for a drive and saw the Loader parked.

Thing 1 wanted to climb up.

Then Thing 2 got sad, so up she went.

Way too cute a picture.

How unlike him :)

Father's day

This year Father's day was also National Aboriginal Day which is always on Summer Solstice. There is a long standing tradition of a Hamar Mountain trip via Canadian Helicopters. Some people hike one direction and then fly the other. We flew both ways.






This is the kids getting in the van to head to Canadian Helicopters to get ready.






Derek running around.











The "helper" up the mountain (a Canadian Helicopter's employee) took a family photo, but Derek didn't want to be in the photo.

2009 preschool graduation

Every year the preschool has a graduation for all the kids going into Kindergarten. This year it was called the NWECS Summer Celebration.
Sadly it rained.
We 4 attended, there were 5 graduates in attendance; Mikayla, Henry, Kole, Aidan & Derek. There will be 13 students in Kindergarten this year...pretty good for a town of 700.
These are a few photos from the Celebration



This is Derek with his two friends, Henry & Liam McGuigan,
two brothers we love to hang out with.







Mr Derek.













An attempt at a family photo - hard to do with an angry Derek and a little girl who doesn't want up :)
