The Big Bird Feed!




We hosted our first ever Thanksgiving feast at our house on Sunday. Tyler came out from Calgary and The Etcheverry's joined us as well. Everything turned out very well, we didn't even burn one pan!

Melissa's

Kira ran Melissa's this weekend. Clocked in at 1:05. She was happy considering there hasn't been much running happening, unless you count chasing Ben around the island in the kitchen. Our friend Nathalie ran it also and finished in 57min, her husband Colin did the half and I'm not sure what his time was Ben felt like lunch before he finished! I had babysitting duty. What to do in Banff with 2 kids??? I know head to Mountain Magic for a bit of shopping!!

SASKATOON!!


Ben Loving it!



They'll try and sell anything in Saskachewan.





Karl appreciating the big sky.


I think these photos sum up any drive to Saskatoon! Good thing the wedding of our friends Raoul and Bina was such a great event and made the drive worth every second. Karl and Jo joined us in the "Man Van" and laughed at all my jokes (after 6 hrs).

Cochrane Old Time Fair


When we saw the add for the Cochrane fair we thought it sounded good. A petting zoo, pony rides how could you go wrong. We also saw a big zucchini and heard the champion of the rooster crowing contest!The Chickens were one of the highlights


Ben enjoyed this goat. The goat enjoyed his pants.


Kira begged me to get a shot with the pig. So here it is.

As the summer ends....




Well Kiras back at work and me and Ben are just kicking it at home getting ready for school to start. We had a great summer with many highlights that you have seen on this blog. The best part was that we spent a lot of time with friends and family. Ben got his feet in both oceans and grew a great deal. We are looking forward to Patrick moving in with us on labour day. Hope everyone else had just as much fun this summer as we did!

Ben's mountain rendevous.

Being back in Calgary early has its advantages. We managed to get away with Nathalie, Colin and Ava for a hike up Powderface ridge. We had great weather although it was a bit windy at the top. All in all a great first hike for Ben.
