| I got up at 6 a.m. Monday morning and drove straight through to Grassy Lake, Alberta, Canada to visit my family. I took the three youngest, and they were thankfully extremely good for the long car drive! | Derek loved having access to a tramp again! The Teens around here broke ours last summer :) |
 | |
| The girls were critter crazy! They caught a gopher, a mouse, and a bush bunny! They kept them in big buckets and then released them once forced |
 |
| Love this picture-I hope they realize how lucky they are to grow up with a sister! I reinforce this concept daily! :) |

| We made it up as far north as Edmonton where my brother Stan and his wife, Sh'Nell live. I haven't been that far north since high school. My darling nephew, Joel, got baptized. It was so fun to see them and their home and their new little baby Spencer. Well, he is 9 months old, but new to us! Love you all~ | I also visited an old friend of mine from high school that I hadn't seen since we were probably 19 years old. It was so great to catch up! Thanks for the visit Kaylani! |
