Bailey Graduates!

We helped Bailey celebrate her graduation yesterday...along with lots of family :)

Troy was quick to find the balloons

Enjoying the breeze on the deck (it was another warm day!)

Bailey popping a ceremonious cork! 

Ready, aim... 

Fire!

Troy and Dean teamed up for croquet

A little more to the left, Dean 

High-five!!  We came in third (out of three teams :)

Gramma, I like your necklace 

Bailey opening her gifts

Gramma made her a beautiful handmade quilt 

And a "memory" recipe book 

I love this photo of Bailey

Troy enjoyed the wrap 

Troy made Bailey a special colouring

Oh my gosh...I did a great job, didn't I?

Another favorite photo

Congratulations Bailey...we are all so proud of you!!!

More Camping!

We just spent three days camping at Beaver Flat by the Elbow River in Kananaskis.  We had so much fun...and took a lot of photos :)

Campsite all set up...and out come the bubbles!

Troy had to catch each and every one!

Daddy cooking up some spaghetti for supper

Troy "wearing" the day all over his face 

Reading his favorite book

the view from our campsite

Making mud pies with Daddy

First, you scoop up the mud

Then you pat it all down

Then your hands get dirty

Then you go wash them off with Daddy in the river

Wash, wash, wash

Then you go get dirty again!

The beautiful Elbow River

All done with mud pie making

Tubby Time!!

Is that marshmallow for me??

Yummmmm....I can hardly wait!!!

Camping is fun!

Some bed time reading

Daddy had to join in the fun :)

The weather was sunny and hot (most of the time)...except for a couple hours of this...

The rain can't stop me!

Except for a pee break :)

Throwing rocks...such boys!

Hmmm...wonder if the river is still cold?

Oh yeahhhh....it's cold !!!

But, that's not going to stop me

See, it's not so bad?

I could wade in it all day

Well....maybe not

Ooooooh...oooooh....oooooh
