Due to the impending Scow move to Alaska, Danielle felt that we all needed to get together one more time. I am not complaining because we had beautiful sunshine and as always action packed fun. To start the fun off we went on a picnic to Henderson Lake.
Erin taught Cohen about crawfish so Cohen waded/swam along the edge. Cohen even found a dead fish which he proudly held over his head... Right before we left Cohen managed to catch one and was so proud of himself.
Mom and Paul also bought a boat!! The water was chilly but it was so fun to be out on the water. The kids had a blast tubing until they leaned a little too far forward and went in the lake. Cohen and Mason were stars at knee boarding. When Mason fell he wouldn't let go of the rope. It was amazing how long he held on. I of course couldn't be out done by a 4 and 6 year old so I did a little knee boarding and wowed them by doing a 360. No big deal but I am pretty cool. I also went for a quick wakeboard just to prove I could still get up.
Garth Brooks/Bruce Gender had kitties and they were definitely a hit! They were truly loved until it hurt. Scar might have tried burying one in the sand. Cohen was very gentle and was always checking on them .
Even Tannis found her inner love for kitties...
Magrath buy and sell is the best! Many comments provide fabulous entertainment but I was also able to find an exersaucer to borrow. It was great to have because I could leave Jack there with out fearing for his life.
My mother bought a Waterton parks pass so we were able to enjoy an afternoon there. We hiked Blakiston Falls but our crew was a little weak. Jack slept most of the way so he won the best hiker award.
Good thing I own a selfie stick!
The hikers were bribed with ice cream! Yay for the big scoop.
We also took turns at Barb's house getting our hair done and eye brows waxed. My hair was crazy long, dead and falling out like crazy. I even had a few grey hairs! Eeeeek! So i cut a large portion off and dyed it a little bit darker. I am so in love with my new cut. It will be so much cooler for summer.
Cousins are the best. Also Q-tip sustained a super awesome black eye.
Scar was just always helping Jack with his soother.
We hit up the play place at McDonald's and they had NO DIET COKE. This is what my nightmares look like.
Paul made a slip and slide! It was a very fun way to beat the heat. He plans to eventually have it go into the canal. Hopefully it takes a few years for him to get to that project and then the kids will be the perfect age.
We even managed to go shopping at the mall. I found a toonie in one of the little rides so I let them ALL go on one together. So fun!
Classic cousin picture on the couch.
We also made it a priority to get snow bobs nightly after the kids went to bed. I love hanging out with my family. I am sad the Scow's are moving so far away but I am already looking forward to camping in August!
