I cannot believe how fast the summer flew by! I knew this would happen as it does every year but this year... I swear it could still be June.
I would have to say this past summer has been one of the best that we have shared as a family. Our trip to BC and zoom through Montana the first of July was great. We actually planning on making that trip again next summer.
We were home for one week then we were graced with a fabulous offer to make a trip home to Nova Scotia. We knew that we would never get a deal like that again so jumped on it. We had a great time visiting with family, the highlight was getting to know my brother's new wife better. She is simply as wonderful as he describes. It's too bad that our camera's batteries were dead the entire trip (I know I kept forgetting to buy new ones) I didn't get any pictures. Luckily Steve and Mary Beth caught a few:
We were gone for two weeks then home for one then Ed's family came to visit. We had an extra three adults and three kids. It was a blast! It was great for Cali to get to know her relatives from Ontario. Hopefully we will be able to make a trip to visit them next year.
Summer is already over weather wise here in Alberta. Ed said there was almost frost on his windshield this morning. So it's time to stock up food for our winter hibernation. I go back to work next week. It's been a blast but now it's time for reality.
I agree the summer when way too fast. At least you got to play on a beach.

Yey! Doesn't Lexi look a bit like grandfather Ken on that picture (not the eyes perhaps, but the smile - perhaps even a bit of grandma too)?
ReplyDeleteEveryone talks about summer ended - it makes me anxious! Although, no sign of it here yet.
It was great to see you guys! I have a few more pictures of Cali that I keep meaning to send to you.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! So many people we are discovering now are from Nova Scotia!! Our son is on a mission there, and we have been collecting names of relatives of those here who have relatives there. LOL! Did that even make sense? Anyway....e-mail me! I would love to send the names of your relative to our son, to see if he knows them in his ward as well. He's beginning to have quite the list.. It's so cool!
