East Coast Week 1

Calgary Airport

Workbooks on the airplane.

I packed the kids each 5 special snacks. 1 for each hour that we were on the airplane. It worked out great. 

Uncle Kevin and Emma bonding.

Nannie playing ball with Luke.

Visiting the Tractor Dome that Uncle Kevin and Nana and Papa own.

Visiting the family farm. All of us except Luke who couldn't handle the smell and had to sit in the van. Us Leffers are a bunch of townie's I guess.

Cousin Jeff giving us a tour.

Nana and Papa bought a pool right before we came. What a huge hit for all of us.

The boys all had tractor turns with Papa.

Cousin Jenn who still is one of the fun-est gals I know. 

The boys checking out the rotary milking parlour.

She already is such a great Mama. I used to babysit her!! She has some funny stories about that too.

Christmas Treelot.

Nannie and Granddad's little log cabin.

Nana and Papa's beautiful home.

Doesn't she just look like trouble to you?

My aunt Carolyn ( mom's sister). Pretty special having her meet all the kiddos.

Happy 60th birthday Papa. So glad we could celebrate with you!

Happy cousins.
