Golden Spike Days

We met up with Kate and Chad at Golden Spike Days. We were hoping closer to the water there would be more of a breeze, but it was just HOT!! We had a lot of fun anyway.

Geoff and Katie check out the water park. (They are in the center of the photo, just quite small.)

A short break in the shade.

Katie was having lots of fun on this pirate ship!

Meeting Madelaine

Kyle, Carrie, Taylor and Madelaine stopped by to hang out in the shade for a while this afternoon. It was our first time getting to meet Madelaine.
Trying out this new baby stuff again.

She looks quite a bit like Taylor (and maybe Carrie...)!

Katie wasn't too comfortable with Mommy holding a baby!
So Kyle took over - he seems to be pretty relaxed.

Aquarium

We decided it was a good morning to head to the Aquarium. Thought we'd try to see the baby beluga, but the line up was long and our patience was not...
We got there before the aquarium openned and so we took a little walk in the park. Here is a picture of my 37 week belly. Me and my bowling ball!
Kaitlyn is always enthralled by the turtle. She likes the sting rays and sharks in this exhibit too.
The butterflies were in the Amazon exhibit, we "lost" Geoff for a little while... But he came back with a few really nice close ups.
Katie watches the Scarlet Ibis (I think that's what these birds are called). She is climbing things on her own now, so I was happy this was as high as she needed to go to see.
This is the big sea lion Tag. We have heard rumours that he's not feeling so well these days and he has been moved to his own enclosure - which is bigger - but still he was sleeping for most of the time that we saw him. I hope he feels better soon!

Jumping!

Okay, this is a hard one to catch on film, but it's something that Katie has been working on for a long time. Drum roll please! Katie can now HOP! Two feet in the air at the same time. She's been working on it for a long time but never really followed through so that her feet actually left the ground. She is now able to hop on the spot about an inch in the air!

Park with Ben and Lucy

We met Ben and Lucy at the park today. Ben and Lucy both enjoyed the water park, but Kaitlyn didn't really want to get wet.
Ben plays in the spray.

Geoff demonstrates the climbing apparatus for Katie, but ends up stuck and losing all his change.

Lucy warming up after the water park.

The only water feature Katie was willing to use.


A quick moment of cooperation. Ben was pumping and Katie was catching it in the shovel. Soon both kids wanted to be doing both at the same time.

During Ben's turn doing both the pumping and the catching he thought it was pretty funny to throw the water at his Dad!!

Backyard Progress

The patio is coming along nicely! Geoff has been putting a lot of long hours into it as I am pregnant and now injured. But as I was feeling better today I got out and helped with a bit of planting.


Just before bed. I thought I should capture the cute pigtails, Katie has been admiring herself in the mirror all day! When I brought out the camera she kept saying "more cheese!"

Kelowna Again

Since the cousins were only going to be in Kelowna for a few more days we decided we should get up there again soon!

Me with my injured leg up. You can sort of see the belly size here.
We all went for dinner to the Bason's house. Ever wonder what an evening with 3 toddlers is like?

Granny brought out the playdough and everyone had a great time on Sunday.

Artsy belly shot.Connor and Katie were tired. When Connor started crying Katie went in to console him, but was so tired she started watching TV too and forgot to stop hugging.
