So many great memories....

The kids and I have had a great summer so far! It has been filled with things to do pretty much everyday. On those few occasional days where we have some down time they don't know what to do with themselves. Our summer started out with the Stampede Parade. Always a hit. Thanks to the Carters for getting up so early to save us a spot. The kids loved seeing all the bands, mascots, throwing money in the money truck etc. My good friend, Gillian, and her two girls met up with us and sat right behind us. Thanks to Mom and Dad for helping get all my kids there and driving me!! I couldn't have gone with out all this help.

Soon after the Stampede Parade the Hasslers and Hancocks came to visit from Utah. And then shortly after that the Woodwards came from Red Deer. Every day was filled with fun things to do!! We went to the Stampede on Kids Day - all 21 kids. Whenever we stopped to look at something everyone around wanted to know what was going on. We made quite the crowd. The cousins loved being together!

Other fun actiives that we did: hiking, swimming at the Sundance Lake (thanks to the Carters), Calaway Park, the Zoo, playing games, and having a unbirthday for all the kids.

After the kids went to bed we would often stay up late visiting and laughing. That games night was so much fun!! And of course Harry Potter was a hit!

So many great times and many great memories.
