Any Time at All

It's been a while.  The past two weeks have been great.  Grandma and Gramps were here visiting!  It was wonderful to have them here.  Lennon loved having the extra attention too!  It also gave me some time to run errands on my own, take naps, and relax a bit more!

The weather started off not so great.  We went to the mall to get out - what else do you do in crappy weather?!  After the first couple of days we got some really nice weather again.  We were able to spend time out in the yard and going on walks.  Fred took an afternoon off and we all went to Riley Park where there is a big wading pool.  The water was cold but Lennon didn't seem to mind.  It was a nice way to cool off, it was 28 that day. 

We also drove up to Lacombe one rainy day to visit dad's cousin who runs a corn maze.  We had a nice visit.  It drizzled on us a bit but not too bad.  It wasn't nice enough to do the maze but we did ride the tractor train, saw the pig races, and had a tour of all the activities they have there.  It would be a great place to take Lennon when she's older - lots to do!

On the long weekend we spent an afternoon at Heritage Park.  I hadn't been there in quite some time.  It was great!  There's lots to see.  We rode the train and the boat and spent hours wandering around.  The next day we took a drive through Longview, Turner Valley, Bragg Creek (had lunch at the Italian Farmhouse - yum), Canmore, and Cochrane (where we waited 40 minutes for MacKay's ice cream!).  Another good day!

Grandma and Gramps leave tomorrow morning.  We will miss having them here!  They can come back any time!





It's back to school time and if I didn't have friends who were all teachers I probably wouldn't think much about it.  It's a little strange if I do think about it, not starting another school year.  But, I am so glad to have this time with Lennon and wouldn't change that for the world!
