Holiday Monday

Monday was a holiday so we decided to head out of the house for a family day.  We drove to Surrey to a place called A Rocha - a Christian conservation organization.  They had a family day with activities for the kids and animals to see.  It was just a beautiful place to spend the afternoon!

Here Kendra and Owen are checking out a few tadpoles and other fish and looking for the answers to questions in their 'passports'.  They had information tables set up around the property.

 Kendra got to hold a very new little chick.  Owen was content to just look.

Jocelyn loved getting out of her stroller and exploring the trees!

 There was one fabulous cherry tree that was perfect for climing.  Kendra and Owen thought this was the best part of the day!

 Finally a snack on the grass before heading back home.  We stopped for supper at Red Robin's to celebrate Kevin's birthday (one day early).  A great way to spend a holiday!

Trip to Smithers

Last week, the kids and I (Kevin had to stay home and work) made a trip up to Smithers to see some of my family. Flying with 2 small children on my own actually went much better than I anticipated. The weather there was great which helped to make for a great week. We spent lots of time walking around town and a few afternoons out at the farm. Smither really is a beautiful place! Kendra loved looking at the mountains and was excited to spend time with Gramma, uncles and aunts and playing with her cousins.
