Backyard Fun

Our summer is consisting of finding fun close to home.  A favorite of the kids is to hang out in the backyard.  We really should do it more often.

Trampoline Fun

Our best times are times spent together!

Stampede Breakfast

Last Tuesday a caravan Stampede Breakfast was held in the Sobey's parking lot by our house.  Jason was working, but I decided to take the kids over.  I knew parking would be awful so we walked.  It was a gorgeous day.

They served delicious pancakes, sausage patties, and juice boxes.  Everyone enjoyed their breakfast.

They had a petting zoo, pony rides, and live music.  It was a fun morning.

Summer Tradition

An Atwood summer wouldn't be complete without a few trips to Calaway Park.  One perk of having season passes is we don't feel like we need to stay for hours to get our monies worth.  We decided to go after Jason got home from work one day last week.  I packed us a picnic lunch and we headed to the park.

The boys love the rides and Bowen was much more adventurous this year and tried a few new rides. Even Cadence went on a couple.

Coming later in the day was awesome.  It wasn't busy at all.  There were hardly any line ups and we got right onto most rides.

Cadence was such a good little girl.  But by closing time she was pretty ready to leave.

Very ready to leave!

Saw an owl on the way out.

Always great summer fun!

Pebbles

Cadence is channeling her inner Pebbles today!

She won't give up her soother today.  She keeps chewing on it.  I'm hoping maybe some more teeth are on the way!

Happy Canada Day!

Yesterday of course was Canada Day!  Our day started with going to our ward's Pancake breakfast.

We had yummy pancakes, bacon, and watermellon.  After breakfast the primary children had a parade.  The boys had made a float with their dad so that they could carry their sister.

The boys won the ball caps they are wearing!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!

It was fun to have mom with us.  After the breakfast we went to the Southland Leisure Center to go swimming.  Then mom took us out for dinner.  I loved spending time with my family.
