July 2009


On July 1st, Canada Day, we went to Cultas Lake for the morning with the Lengle's for boating and a picnic. Lily LOVED the water and seemed to enjoy the boat more this year.
Playing in the rocks and water


Testing out the water!


Wearing her life jacket. She actually liked being able to float

She LOVES throwing rocks in the water.

After Cultas Lake, we spent the evening at Larry and Maureen McKinney's Canada Day party! It was a great BBQ with great friends. :)
100% Canadian!

For my birthday, we spent the afternoon at my parents'. Lily adores playing in their backyard.

We threw a surprise 51st birthday party for my Mom, cause she didn't get a big party for her 50th. We set up things in their backyard while Dad stalled her with errands. We're so glad we got to surprise her. She deserved it! :)



Friends and family

We took Lily camping to Alouette Lake in the Mitchler's trailer. It was luxurious for us! Running water and a toilet!! We had a great time down at the lake and around camp.

Lily really liked how she could dig holes wherever she wanted
And she collected MANY rocks and pine cones!

Poking Grandpa with a large stick

Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Brent and Auntie Erica came to the campsite so we could celebrate a belated Father's Day for Ray

The AMAZING cake Erica made!!

Lily eying up the cake

It's always a treat to get to eat cake (it was Peanut free!!)


Birdies


Lily loved Grandpa's trailer. She kept pointing at it and saying, "Grandpa's trailer!"




Quiet time


At the lake
Lily did not hesitate to get in the water


We tried the water wings and a turtle floaty... she like the turtle best

On the hottest day of the summer, we were struggling to keep Lily cool. So I set up a water station at the picnic table. Just some bowls, cups, utensils and water= a good time!



My half naked babes!

This is the smile I get when I say, "Smile, Lily!"
She wanted to go for walks all day long
Our nakey babe in nature :)
We asked Lily to go sit down for dinner, and we found her like this...

Don't forget to fold the laundry!
Lily and Momma

Getting ready to go home.

I'll post some more videos soon. This blogger program has been giving me a lot of problems lately, which is frustrating. :(
