Garden is growing...

Thought I'd share a progress report on the square-foot garden...it's growing!!

Here is how we started out

Added in some plants

Everyone happy in their own square foot

ready, set, grow

planted some seeds too

Troy helps with the watering

Sometimes he is wetter than the plants :)

Getting bigger and bigger!

The hanging baskets are showing off too!

Afternoon Adventure

Auntie C and Jude rounded us up for an afternoon adventure to the Saskatoon Farm.  The name really doesn't do the place justice...it is a beautiful little spot FILLED with flowers and plants (and yes...there is a saskatoon farm in the valley below).

One of the many little resting spots along the way

Hey...this hat comes with a whistle!!

TWEEEEEEEEEET!!!

Jude in the saddle  :)

There's a new sheriff in town! (thanks to Auntie C buying me this awesome hat!)

TWEEEEET (we certainly always knew where Troy was!!)

Hey Jude...did you read that sign at the entrance?

It said...no dogs!

Oh well...I don't think cute stuffies apply

So many colourful flowers on display

Overlooking the valley (where the saskatoon bushes grow)

TWEEEEEEEET!

Lone ranger

Hey y'all...where did ya go?  Am I going to have to blow my whistle again?!

The Sheriff and Mommy

So many things to see (and touch)

I think this cowboy is ready to giddy up

Happy Canada Day, eh!

Troy celebrated Canada Day in true canuck-style...starting with a pancake breakfast followed quickly with bouncy castles and face painting!!

Lil Canuck (already fitting into a hand-me-down shirt from Jude!)

WHEEEEEEE

Yes....that is a scorpion :)

What?!  You don't think a scorpion is very patriotic?  Oh well...it's cool.

Daddy and I checked out the cars

Cooling off with some ice cream

Standing on guard for thee! (watch out for the scorpion)

Proud to be Canadian

Daddy and Me...in the Great Outdoors

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!  Troy and Daddy had some "boy time" last week.  They went camping together (while Mommy went to see Auntie Patty).  It looks like they had lots of fun :)

Troy painted this for Daddy

All ready for camping, Daddy!!

Right after I have a nap....zzzzzzzz

All set up

We got a spot right on the river!

Fit for a Superhero!

Time for TMNT bubbles, Daddy?

You're right Daddy, the bubble wand works way better

So, what's for supper, Daddy?

I guess I"m going to have to catch dinner!

Here fishy, fishy, fishy....

I'm going to cast this one way out there

Hmmmm....they're not biting?

So glad you packed the hot dogs!

Two thumbs up on supper, Daddy!

Time for the fire dance

Spinnnnning

Did it work?

Ahhhh....campfire

Good morning!!

Brrrr...I could use some of that campfire this morning

Hiking on the beaver trail

Sliding down the hills

Looks like the beaver has been here!

Time to build some lego

Assembling the truck

and digger

Ready for some construction work

Caught in a cattle drive on the way home

Bye, bye Elbow Falls...see you again!
