Summer 08 Recap

So I've been MIA. Wonder why? This is just a peek at our summer 2008. The boys are NOT looking forward to going back to school on Wednesday - guess we DID have fun! (Is that why I'm so tired????)

Got our first glimpse of Baby #5. Little legs curled up on the right hand side.
One of the few wading pools in the city that has waterslides. Here's Caleb!
And Andrew...
And Joshua!
Travelled out to Selkirk (twice) to the Marine Museum. The first time our trip was cut short by a sick kid. The second time it rained, but we managed to get through all the boats, more or less.

One evening we went up to "Garbage Hill" for a picnic/snack and I successfully managed to capture a half-decent group shot.
Strawberry picking. The berries were huge & yummy! Plus we got a hayride! Andrew still asks to go strawberry picking.
Andrew mowing the neighbour's lawn. We did lots of playing at home in the afternoons while Natalee slept. Fortunately, the weather wasn't too hot this year to enjoy being outside (that, and the air conditioner was a welcome relief whenever I needed a break!)
Travelled out to my good friend Shelley's farm. She was kind enough to let the boys each have a ride on her mini. Caleb seemed to have the most natural horsemanship of the boys. Maybe because he's actually ridden a horse before!
Andrew was more into the John Deere tractor at the farm. Andrew also learned how to ride the trike this summer. Joshua conquered the monkey bars - no broken arm was going to slow HIM down! And Caleb is a pretty good skateboarder now. He's also big into Donald Duck too. Natalee...well, she's been busy working on walking all summer. It's not so easy outside, but inside, it's pretty much a full-time thing. Yay!

You guys did a LOT this summer! Sure makes what I did seem small anyways. I really like the horse picture of Caleb.. and the radiator springs shots! very cool! Natalee and her shoes.. it only gets worse! soon it'll be dresses, and then pants and even rings etc.. (that's what Kiernan's into now is accessories) A lot of nice photo's and looks like good times.. I need to go to that marine place.. that looks cool. I've never heard of it before you mentioned it...
