Summer Holidays

Long overdue photos from our trip out to Manitoba.  We made stops along the way and quite enjoyed the journey.  First stop was Mt. Robson for the hike of our life...neither of us were prepared but we LOVED it.

The before picture......

The first sign that we are getting somewhere...Kinney Lake!

Who needs a break?  Definitely me!

Wide open spaces.

Setting up camp....tight squeeze:-)

Good Morning!

Almost down...

Looks like we made it, barely!

That's all for Robson but I'll try to get the rest in soon...little bit at a time.

Tulip Mania

Agassiz Tulip Festival

Avid Photographers.........

How's that for close Dad?

There was more than flowers to keep the kids interested:

...though I'm not sure of Ava's interest here!

Don't touch Calvin!

Runway model?

Or tease?

An enjoyable day by all.

A few more wedding photos to share.....

U2

U2 was in Vancouver last night.  Juergen and I, Naomi & Erich and Jon & Bon all piled in the mini van and took in the concert together.  It was a lot of fun.

We saw a celebrity in the stands....well one well known around the lower mainland.  So this is "on stage" Al eh?

Erich enjoying the night....

Bonnie experiencing some excitement....

The stage set waiting for it all to start.

Black Eyed Peas opened.

The crowd waiting on U2 during the break.

Bono?

Who says you shouldn't carry cotton balls in your purse?

Waiting for Erich to bring our ride.

Welcome to the world class of 2009!

CONGRATULATIONS

HEIDI & BIANKA!

Did you hear there is a nurse shortage in BC?

ONE PLUS ONE EQUALS.....

......FIVE FOR THE WEEKEND!

We agreed to stay with the kids so Naomi and Erich could get away....these are our weekend adventures:

Driving in the mini van.

Calvin is such a monkey.  The rest of the kids could care less but look on the left.

We took Konrad on his first bowling adventure.  All the kids loved it.  Konrad was so excited and he was good at the action of sliding...unfortunately it led to a few gutter balls but he took it in stride and was a good sport.  Ava dropped the ball and we all watched as it slowly...very slowly moved down the lane.  A few didn't even make it all the way and needed some help.

Here's some pictures from our fun in the park.  Calvin had just woken up and wasn't really in too good of a mood.

We are home safe and sound.  We made it through the weekend...phew!  We had a great time and look forward to more weekends with the kids.  At least when all is said and done we come home to a quiet house and a bed where only the alarm clock will wake us.  We have the best of both worlds.  Just the two of us again.
