A Beautiful Summer

bonding with cousins tristen and taylor

We just got back from our summer vacation last Wednesday.We had a blast driving, it took us 3 days to get to Brampton and 4 days going back here to Lethbridge. The kids were behaved most of the trip which was a surprise considering the long hours they had to sit in the car. We stopped every 2 hours to put gas, pee, stretch and exchange drivers. It was FUN and EXCITING, an experience we will forever treasure and will most likely be repeated. Summer 2012 please come real quick!!!

Mont Tremblant

Montreal

Ottawa

Last year we flew to Ontario and since I learned how to drive May of this year, we thought of the impossible, to go there via road trip. I`m glad we did, having family around was the best thing to cure my husband`s burn out. The kids got to mingle and get close to their cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas. There were food and noise galore! We got to visit Ottawa, Mont Tremblant and Montreal. The three weeks passed by so quick it was heartbreaking to pack our stuff and go.

The kids had a blast fishing, they caught so much that my mother in law had a hard time catching up cleaning what they caught. They did so much activities in Mont Tremblant and sight seeings in Montreal plus our many hotel stays. They got to watch Smurfs with their cousins and the whole clan played bowling as well. I got to go on several occasions without the kids, a quick trip to the supermarket and retail therapy with Ate Agatha. My mother in law did most of the cooking and would sometimes babysit, and when we didn`t have any agenda on a particular day, it was still relaxing to just stay at Tito Allen`s or Tita Veron`s house.

 

Fun isn't enough to describe what we had this summer as a matter of fact I don't have the exact word for it. Nothing beats family bonding and good food. I know it's still too soon to organize our next summer's agenda but hopefully it's gonna be here in Alberta.

Our heartfelt thanks, we miss you all ♥
