Last summer, we bought passes to Heritage Park and it worked out that they hadn't expired when we returned this year. So off we went. Heritage park is so fun and my kids especially love the rides, the bakery and the candy shop.

Living my teenage dreams with a visit to Sundance Lake. When I was a kid, I always wished I lived in a lake community and swore that if I did, I would spend every day there. It's fun to have an easy, nearby place to take the kids to play in the water. The blanket was spread out and Ira was laying on his tummy, instantly. He knows what to do! It's so fun to have cousins to play with, my children love their cousins! Enoch made friends with a little girl and it was so cute to watch them play. Here are the pictures!

Just some photos of us hanging around outdoors. Conor and I had an exchange about how wonderful the relaxed vibe is. That no one is hurrying and everyone is just there. We left Holly and Greta in Yahk with my parents for the rest of the week and they had a great time! Loving my children is my love language.

We spent a short weekend out in BC with my parents. We met them at Kootney Lake on a Saturday morning. The weather was a little touch and go with thunder in the distance, but the sun pulled through for us! Enoch and Ira were very unsettled by the loose sand, however, by the end of our time at the beach, Ira was on his tummy playing in it! This little spot on the lake is so pretty! After a couple summers of no Yahk time, we really liked being out there!

My sweet baby girl is a teenager! What on earth?! Holly is such an easy to please, easy going kiddo and I'm so glad she's in my family. She's a real sweetheart and her friends refer to her as their "friend mom," because that oldest kiddo gig plays out into her relationships with her friends. We gave Holly and cozy sweater and a couple of graphic novels she had asked for. We went for a family bike ride, ate cake and just generally enjoyed the day! Happy birthday darling girl!
