Our Annual Road trip to Edmonton

Can't get any more prairie than this...
 or this...

or this. This is what it looks like from where I live on the drive to Calgary. Miles and miles of land and big open sky.


Baby Emma travelled so well.

I was teaching Andrew how to read a map on the way.


Lots of bike rides.

Emma meeting her cousins.


Painting rocks.


Dress up.


Freezies.


Uncle Dwayne's famous pancakes.


Climbing trees and reading.


Quad rides.


Campfires.


and even real diggers in the yard to watch.


Swimming at the local pool.



As usual we had a blast in Edmonton once all the adults recovered from strep throat. The weather was hot and sunny and the kids burned so much energy playing outside everyday with their cousins. Us mama's are getting the chance to relax more and more on these trips with the kids getting bigger and entertaining themselves so much more. Thanks Uncle Dwayne and Auntie Trixie for always welcoming us with open arms and for starting the summer off so great.

It looks like another great road trip. It must be a very full house when you all get together. Emma's fitting right in there, and probably enjoying watching all that her big brothers are up to. You, by the way, look fantastic!
