August 2016

 Happy New Brunswick Day!
August arrived with some sunshine!
 Cara started a day camp on the holiday Monday so Gwen, Daddy and Mom went to a great park to do some Pokemon hunting and chin ups!
 Cara did a week long Theatre camp and Gwen did a clay sculpture class.
 Cara's finished with a production by the kids.
Cara is the one with a mask - she's a lion at Moira's Birthday.
 Dance break!
 She really enjoyed creating her character and being in a play.
 Final bow!
 The star with the poster she designed.
Our backyard garden was producing some yummy veg for our lunches and snacks - so many snap peas!
 The girls made some nature bracelets.
 Summery jewellery.
 We had a fire so had to have smores!
 We took a day trip to Drumheller to visit the dinosaurs.
 The girls love it there.
 We had to wait in line to get into the museum!

 Cara found an amolite.
 In the prehistoric garden.
 Family in the mirror pic.
 Almost ankle high to a dinosaur!
 A fun visit through the museum.
 We just had to climb the giant t rex in downtown Drumheller...there was a line there too!

A nice warm day and the girls just had to wade in the fountain.
Gwen loves splashing!
 Until next year Drumheller!
 Cara has wanted to go canoeing for awhile.
Bowness Park now rents canoes - so we went canoeing!
 Our playground across the street had had a sign for a few months that it was slated to be replaced.
One day in August we woke up to diggers and dumptrucks...and our park was gone...
 A week earlier we ordered this swing set for the girls so they can play in the background more...it just so happened that it arrived the day before the playground across the street got removed!
Super lucky timing - thanks amazon!
 So even though our playground was gone we had our own personal set in our own backyard :)
The girls played water ballon pinata!

 We got some baby things back to pass on to Jamie and Leah - Gwen still fits in her bassinet!
 The girls took swimming lessons for 2 weeks in August.
We had to go to the local drive in after class one day!
 We got to the beach!
 Sikome Lake - always fun.
 Gwen and the turtle.
 Turtle loves to swim.
 We built sandcastles - this was for the good guys.
This was for the bad guys.
 We took a day trip to Head-Smashed In Buffalo Jump.
 Cara learned about it at school and wanted to see it.
 Very windy on the ridge.
 Exploring in the museum.
 Family Selfie!
 Keepin it real....not all selfies work out :)




 Daddy/daughters day at Calaway Park!
 They had a great time!
 Sister truckers.
Mom and Rebecca did the Calgary Womens 5k run.
 The girls are great at cheering Mom on!
Poppies in the garden.

August was great and we had lots of fun.
September brings the start of 
grade 3 and grade 1!
