Summer 2010

The summer is quickly coming to an end. Jenna is counting down the days as she is anxiously awaiting the start of school. Brooklyn is not liking the cool weather as she loves to wear dresses and it is almost impossible to get her to wear pants. She will also miss Jenna dearly when she is in school all day. They play together very well and I will have to find other things to preoccupy Brooklyn with while Jenna is in school.

Nolan keeps growing and will be nine months on September 1. He has just started to get the hang of crawling. The other night he even pulled himself up on the bath tub to watch Brooklyn (she makes a lot of noise and mess while in the tub, so I can see why he was so interested).

Here are some pictures of the summer highlights, which include the Leduc Rodeo and Ponoka Stampede. Jenna loves to wear her cowgirl attire, Brooklyn isn't as fond of the outfit. We got Nolan dressed up too, although he is a little to little to complain yet.

We also took a trip to Drumheller. I thought the kids would really enjoy the Dinosaur Museum, but I don't think either one of them was too interested. We did stop at the Atlas Coal Mine Site. They both seemed to enjoy that much better. They also walked the suspension bridge with Billy. Goes to show you just never know!

There are also some picture of Jenna's Kindergarten Graduation. She was very pleased to win the ECS Young Artist Award. She is a very talented little artist and pays a lot of attention to details.

Jenna also went to visit Grandma Brenda for a few nights, all on her own. She particularly liked swimming in the outdoor pool. She thought they should rename the town to "Treat Ville" because you get lots of treats there.

We also visited a corn maze. First time for all of us. It was kind of funny, Jenna started off full throttle but quickly tired out and just wanted to leave. However, when you are in the middle, it is really tricky to turn around and go back. Brooklyn on the other hand had a fantastic time, she was busy finding all the numbers so she could tick them off the checklist. Nolan started getting fussy at the end, as it was getting close to supper. I think I could wait another couple of years before going back again.


Enjoy the pictures. We do!
