Ice-Cream & Splash Pads

 After some Saturday work around the house we headed to the Windmill for some groceries and then off to the Burford Splash Pad for a special treat the kids! And Rob gave the kids some ice-cream cones which was pretty awesome for them 






 You are adorable. 
Sharing with Daddy






 Amy was a bit surprised at the water - and didn't enjoy it a lot at first. 
Now, she's a maniac in the water!


 And after a picnic supper they played on the playground.

Our Canada Day


Canada Day 2015.
We spent some time doing a few things around the house: tidying the garage, James and I weeding the garden together (great date during quiet time) and such like. Then after naps, we headed off to see some of the waterfalls in Hamilton. We chose Albion, but took a different path at the start so we'd get some exercise in. :) 

The kiddo's had fun in the creek down a ways. 
Amy loved the water - couldn't keep her out, so we had to hold her up. 

Near Albion Falls, which we didn't get to play in, as we were so tired after we took the long trail which didn't lead to it. :) Next time we'll take the 2 minute walk, vs. the 2 hour trek - and up a crazy hill. 
Getting all four in one shot. 
With Erik falling off - or so he's worried about. 
Getting a smile out of Katy - with daddy tickling behind. :) 

Cute stuff.
We had some burgers together, then home for a break and after dark went to St. George for the fireworks. The kids loved it! 




Love this picture of all of them looking up at the light display. 
The end of a fun family day. :) 


Skateboard Jumps

Took the kids to the skateboard park nearby one morning, and they had a great time biking, running, sliding and "scooter-ing" - all in their little helmets. We had it all to ourselves which was a treat. :) 



Cute bug. 
Erik so wanted to go down on his scooter, but was nervous - thankfully. :) 
Sliding down

Love the contrasts in black and white. 
The little missy with her crocs and helmet






I was trying to get a group shot but could only get us three in - little Laura was on my lap and Amy walked away. :)
