A GREAT SPOT FOR A PICNIC

THE PLAY PARK...

A GREAT WAY TO END THE DAY!
We enjoyed our first day of Matt's vacation by going to the Wildlife Park. We were there a good part of the day. We had a great time with the animals. The kids couldn't get over the size of the moose. The moose kept the kids amused. The mother moose was starting to give some attitude and started banging and kicking the fence, the baby moose was jumping and stomping the ground which was pretty funny. The porcupines were doing some kind of dance, then they would stop and scratch their butts or rub their stomachs. The kids thought they were putting on a show for them and my favorite was the racoons. There was one that I was feeding that kept trying to take off my wedding rings. We later enjoyed a picnic then spent a little time at the playground. We were exhausted by the end of it and still had to go for an oil change at Walmart. While we were there we checked out the dance store next door for Trinity and over $100 later we left....She just loves her new tap shoes....and more!

A VISIT FROM NANA AND PAPA

Taking time to relax

The yard was filled with apples that had fallen from the tree so I made a deal with all the kids that for every apple they picked up I would give them a penny. It cost me a little over $8. I will have to wait a while before we do that again...
mom helping clear out the garage and dad was in the garage hooking up a light.
We made a bit of a mess up in Jays room but I got it cleaned up Sunday night by putting in the storage rooms in the loft.The boys having fun with the hoseMatt painting the garage floor.

Nana and Papa made the long journey from Moncton to spend the weekend with us. As usuall we got a lot of work done. Dad helped Matt change the plug outlets in the kitchen then they moved the washer and dryer around in my laundry. It only took 4 trips to the hardware store. I was surprised at how patient dad stayed...or at least it seemed!LOL.
We had a small fire in the firepit Saturday night and the kids all had a swim. Sunday we got the garage emptied out and Matt started painting the floor.
Mom and Dad never know what they are going to get themselves into when they come to visit....don't worry guys, I have the list made for next time....Thanks for the visit the kids had a great time!
