Summer Carnival

We are all about finding where the FREE festivals are in our area. Here are some shots from one (back in June).






Emma and Daddy in the petting zoo.













Jackson just woke up from his nap and was ready to take on the animals.


















And, there were jumping castles too!!!

Fair Rides

Emma was able to enjoy some rides this year. The carousel was the one she was anticipating the most since she rode on it last year.
Here is the train. She looks so thrilled.
Here is Dixie the pony! Another favourite!
And here is the elephants and dragon ride. She chose the purple dragon and was able to ride with a friend!

Spring Fair

The Spring Fair came to town a couple weeks ago. Here is Emma dancing with her flags while the marching band played in the parade.
Hey, the camera is over here!
Instead of a sand box, a corn box in a tire?!
And we always have to take a picture in the tractor wheel!

A Bad Night

After a long night of on and off again screaming, this was the outcome in the morning.
Isn't this monster adorable?

Night and Day

Emma stops to smell the flowers, Jackson stops to eat the flowers!

Sand Pies!

Emma and "Taya" making Pies!


Jackson: The happy observer.

Emma giving Jackson a taste test! Thankfully the sand is one thing that Jackson has not tried to put in his mouth.

A New Toy

After a few months of planning and digging out our back yard, we have a swing set! We still have finishing touches to do, but already, it is a great thing. And our neighbours love it too!





















As you can see, Emma uses it "correctly", I'm afraid for the day that Jackson will be able to use it. For now, he loves the sandbox and the baby swing that we found at a garage sale!
