A little summer vacay...

Where has the summer gone??  I feel like it's barely started and almost over!  We've been busy as usual with continuous house projects, me picking up extra days at work, and trying to spend every spare moment soaking in the precious warmth outside that we experience in such limited quantities in this city!  We were able to get away for a little family holiday that included a bunch of stops:

Magrath Days

Carter loved the parade, petting zoo, being outside ALL DAY, and especially running around like crazy with his cousin Seth.  I was excited to see his reaction to the fireworks which was a face filled with awe, a lot of pointing and "uh uh uh" (Carter's formal means of communication), and only the occasional wimper when a really big one went off!

Lake Pend Oreille


Seriously this is probably one of my favourite places on earth, and probably one of Carter's now too.  Again, a lot of outside time, lots of cousins to be crazy with, a pool a 30 second walk away, and a lake in our front yard.  Mike was insistent on having Carter tube (even though I felt he was a little small) and he loved it!  He'd lean back to give Mike kisses behind him as they were going I think to show his appreciation for his dad doing such a fun thing with him!

Waterton
Our last stop was Waterton for a night at the Dahl cabin.  Yet again, more outside time, more lakes, and even more cousins!  We're headed back this weekend for a couple nights of camping.  How I LOVE summer!
