Canadian Fun!

I’m leaving for BlogHer on Wednesday so I want to leave some more a kajillion photos from our trip to Canada up before I jet outta her (Get it, “jet” outta here? I know, I’m hilarious).

They don’t need a ton of explanation.  You can probably tell from them that we had a wonderful time!

 

We headed back to West Edmonton Mall the first two days we were there and did the water park and amusement park again!

 

 

 

 

 

All the kids had a blast in the huge wave pool you see behind them…

 

At the amusement park Misty and I hung back with the little ones while Tim took the big kids around (after all, he’s one himself so…)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After ALL of that fun, we headed to the lake!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Between the s’mores and the time on the water…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…there was time for ice cream too (of course!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, that IS my husband on the tube back there (in photo below).  I got on it too but I am sorry so happy to report that there is no photographic proof.  It was REALLY fun though!  I also rode the jet ski, the four-wheeler and jumped in the freezing cold lake, voluntarily.  Go me! 😉

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the view from the kitchen sink at the lake house out the back (or if you want, the front) and out onto the lake.  How awesome to do the dishes and look up and see this, right?

 

 

As you can see (if you made it this far) this is the place of summer memories and amazing family time that I cherish.  I really wish it wasn’t so far away and that we could spend even more time there… but I’ll take what I can get! 

And lastly, here’s a pic of all of me and my cousin’s kiddos together.  They make quite the motley crew!
