New Portraits of the Kiddies

Barett - 2
Jayden -5

All dressed up...no place to go... :)

We were on our way out this morning - to nowhere special - Jayden was going to her swimming lesson & Barett and daddy were heading out to the market. The kids looked pretty cute, and given the nice sunny day, we thought some pictures were in order.

Visit to Storybook Gardens - July 11th

Today we went to London to Storybook Gardens....our plan was to go on Monday...but we got rained out. So, given the warm & sunny forecast for today, we ventured out. The kids had a ball...below are some of the waterpark pictures....followed by some of the park pics.





















Barett trying to outrun the falling water.





















Checking out the other kids.





















Patiently waiting for the water to come....Jayden's in the background.




















Pressing the buttons to get the water to spray/fall/spurt/etc.

...Storybook Gardens Continued...

Climbing on the frog in the forest.






















Barett trying out the "big kid" slides....he looks a little unsure in this picture...but in actual fact, it was probably his 6 or 7th time going down.





















Grandma & Grandpa - and you think the slide at Victoria Park is big - get a load of this one....J's as the bottom - this is after she went down - she is starting to become somewhat fearless.






















Jayden yelling at us from in front of the Storybook Chapel.

More of the park - July 9th

Watching the rest of the kids play in the water.





















Checking out the ducks & the swan in the pond at Victoria Park.





















Not really sure what to say about this picture - pointing at the water spraying all the kids.






















Barett & daddy trying out Jaydens favorite slide.

Early July...

Jayden & Barett went to Grandma Terri & Grandpa Dougs for a few days this past week ( Monday - Thursday) so mommy could study for her exam (Wednesday). While at their house, Barett discovered that broccoli is not the enemy - prior to his visit, the uneaten broccoli couldn't even take up space on his tray - it had to be removed (either by nicely passing to mom or dad or throwing it off if mom & dad didn't take it quick enough) - Barett cam home loving broccoli! His first night back he also discovered corn on the cob - he loved it!







































Below - at Victora Park - Sunday, July 9th - we went to the park with all the other people who's kids don't sleep late.
