Another School Project

On June 6th it is "Sports Day" for Benjamin. One event is the boat race. Hence, all students are to make a boat out of a cardboard box and they will run in them for this race. This is one project where we really missed having Daddy around, since he would know the best way to do this, however, we did come up with something.....not sure that you would call it a work of art, but it will fulfill its' purpose!!

Leddy Lake

Since it was a gorgeous evening, the boys and I took a quick drive out to Leddy Lake. It's quite beautiful out there; very secluded, but a lovely spot! Just a few pictures I took while out there - you know me, can't refuse to take pictures of anything that involves NATURE!

There is ALWAYS beauty in nature!

These are buds and blooms on my ornamental "double blossom plum tree!" It is beautiful, and smells wonderful - LOVE IT!

Picnic on the Deck

After a long hard day of yard work, there is nothing like BBQ steak enjoyed in the great outdoors.

Peace River

For you relatives and friends who haven't made it up to see us, these pictures will show why it wasn't too hard to love this quaint town! The views from our deck and from the top of the hills are absolutely beautiful! This is only ONE reason why we will miss Peace River when the time comes to leave!

Fire Pit Trouble

The boys were outside playing while I was cleaning out the flower beds when Jacob started to yell for "MOM!" This is what I found! hehe crazy goof!

Play at the Park

What a gorgeous day today was after the spring rains we have been having. It was plus 18 with a very gentle breeze, so myself and Jacob and a friend and her two kiddies headed to the park for a picnic and of course a play. I totally love days like this when you can leave the housework behind and get out and enjoy the fresh air.
