Golden Ears Bridge

These were taken from the car just after the bridge opened. Fun!

Miss M. Gets Messy

This is old - from a few months ago now. Maisie painting or ........ creating. Oooooh, feel it squishing between your fingers!!! Yeah!!!

Fisher Boy

We bought the kids little toy fishing rods this spring/summer and Ambrose just LOVES his! You can't do much more than cast with it which suits him just fine for now as he practices and practices!

Camping Monte Mom Style

NO! It's not Mom's doing the "Full Monte" if that is what you were thinking Monte Moms was!! LOL Monte Moms are the Moms of the Cedar Valley Montessori Students Class of 2009! Hee hee hee I have become very good friends with the other preschool moms (and teacher too!) this year and we have named ourselves the Monte Moms. We actually organized a camping trip with all of us going - 5 moms and ten kids! It was a heck of alot of work for one night in a tent, but it was worth it seeing the enjoyment on the kids faces! We all trekked out to Rolley Lake Provincial Park which has a nice campground and huge day area on the lake.

Our Gang at the Lake (I'm in black)

We had a nice site with lots of room around us for the kids to play.

All the kids for a photo in front of the tent!

Sarah giving all the kids a marshmallow roasting demonstration.

She is showing them what to do (or what not to do) when it catches fire!

Maisie with her mini marshmallow on her long stick

Oh-oh! Looks like Audrey has taken an interest......

Camping 101: Keep and EYE on your marshmallow!!

Our set up for the night.

The kids would not stand in front of the tent for a picture!

Sleeping in the tent.

Ambrose wasn't feeling too hot in the morning.

Too many marshmallows perhaps???

The flower

The Plumeria bloomed!  It bloomed alot actually.  From what Andrew has been reading about the plant it doesn't usually bloom in the first year or two after you transplant a cutting so we were lucky I guess.  The flowers were gorgeous and SO fragrant!  Smelled like Hawaii ☺

I ran 10K!!

May 31st I did the Run For Water 10K Run!!  I ran with my friend Gillian and actually had a great time!  I was very nervous as I have never done a "real" event before. And I wasn't even sure I could do the whole 10K, but I really just didn't let my mind go there.   I knew I could do 5K for sure and I would just have to do that 2x.  Well I did it!  I was dying the last 1K and had to run/walk it, but still................ I did it!!!  Yep.  Very proud of myself.
