Friday Morning

Here are a few short videos taken on Friday morning.  As you can see...our days have a lot of variety (and humour).

First...Troy goes for a quad ride in the alley...

Then he helps Mommy get "pumped up" for the day...

And then it is time to hit the "ool" (yes, we left the p out...and so did Troy :)

All Shook Up

Today we went to SHAKERS (imagine a place...with go karts, mini golf, indoor climbing gym and an arcade!!) with Auntie C and Jude.  The boys had a blast!

Troy is driving while Mommy steps on the gas :)

Playing the lizard game with Jude 

On Safari with Jude

Outside for a round of mini-golf 

In the hole!

Was that a par-15 Mommy?

We saved enough credits for the photo booth!!

Mommy and Me

The "Do-over"

When Gramma was in the hospital on Mother's Day...we all promised that we would have a "do-over" party - and what a "do" it was!!  Turns out we had even more to celebrate as Gramma and Papa are moving to town in September.  So this will likely be our last get together on the gulley.  We will surely miss all that open space to run around (and fly drones)...but we are very happy for Gramma and Papa and look forward to a lot more family fun in their new home!!

Look!!  Uncle Daren brought his drone.

The pilot...and his co-pilots :)

Oh...look...it's right above my head!

I'm going to catch it!

Now it's time for some lawn darts

Uncle Scott was the Lawn Dart King!

Dylan trying to defeat his dad

The cheerleaders on the sidelines (in the shade)

Sammy even tried to get in on the fun

Big cousin, Zach, giving me some pointers

I don't think Zach was too impressed with my shot?!

Time to eat (again!)

Yummmmmm

Chowing down

Kyle and me...watching the drone go for another flight

Even Sammy couldn't fetch it!

The drone, close-up

Me and Loo Loo La on the "gruffalo"

Uncle Daren, are you trying to get the drone in the photo?

Whooooopsie...too close to the tree!!!

The drone is stuck...high up in the tree

Gramma....I'm holding my pants (like you always say)
waiting for them to get the drone down!

Good thing Papa still has his tractor!

And Kyle is willing to be the retriever :)

And the prize for best Drone Retriever goes to Kyle!
(if you can call some old records Gramma was "giving away" a prize)

And the prize for best "Tree trimming by a Drone" goes to Uncle Daren
(he was awarded with Dinosaur Poop and a pan flute CD...another Gramma giveaway!)

Yes, we did manage a group photo (sans drone)

Auntie Carolyn switcheroo

Sammy even sat for a portrait

I sure am going to miss the gulley!!!!

This was a "drive-by" shot of the canola fields on our drive home

Pajama Theatre

Here is Troy performing (in his pajamas) in the basement "theatre".  First up...Row, Row, Row your boat...

Now, you're probably wondering...where does a 3 year old learn the song "Lime in the Coconut"?...well...his parents needed something to sing to him while slathering on coconut oil every night after tubby time.  Apparently, he was listening :)    Here is the song for reference (yes, it is a real song!).

Driving Ranger

Daddy took Troy to the driving range for the first time. Troy called it "holes" :)

Lining up his drive

Get ready ball...here I come!

For Oma

Oma taught Troy this "lil dutchie" song...this one's for you Oma!

O' Canada

It was a happy Canada Day here...the flag was flying and we truly appreciated being Canadian, eh?!

The flag was hung proudly

Here is Troy with his rendition of "O' Canada"...which he learned 

from watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs :)
