Coming home from Edmonton

I took so many pictures driving back from Edmonton, so many mountains so little space 

Edmonton Here we come!

In June, my friend close friend Charlotte came out from Nova Scotia to Edmonton. Without missing a beat I said I'm coming to see you!!! I have never driven from Jasper through to Edmonton so I was excited. I have made the loop from Kamloops to Jasper to Prince George and back to Kamloops as  kid, but not to Edmonton.

We, Tayler, Russell and I,  left Saturday June 16 for Clearwater to spent the night with Larry and Sharon and off the next morning for Edmonton 7 hours from Clearwater. It was the most beautiful drive other than it RAINED!!!!! all the way through. 

Big Elk in Jasper park

Pretty Mountains!!

More mountains - this one looks like we will drive right through it ! 

Articulated dump truck - Russ took this for Dylan 

A morning play at the park 

Just a Swinging

Check out the hair - they had alot of fun with the static on the slide

Robins staticy hair! 

I love this picture Robin and Tay 

Russ and Landon throwing rocks as boys do! 

My most wonderful Charlotte 

A super quick visit but it was so wonderful just to hang out! See you soon my lovely friend ! 

Now you are probably wondering where Ed and Dylan are - they went to Vernon on a school trip Eds first and maybe his last but he went and thats what counts! They went to the Waterslides, Science centre and Davidson Orchards sounded like a blast

Star Sellers!

Tayler and her friends Laura and Ainsley selling Girl Guide Cookies at Save On Foods 

I went to pick Tayler up and I was told she couldn't leave yet as she was the star seller! Big Brown Eyes and cute little smile she had most people stopping for a box! 

Walking around the property

We went for a walk a couple evenings ago in the drizzling rain! Spice decided she would come to and followed us around but she was extra spunky and was doing silly things so we had to chase her ahead of us before she ran us over! 

I love taking pictures of the clouds!

OOPS!

I'm sure you heard about the plane crash here, well I was standing there while it was taking off, never having seen a plane take off from this airport I thought I would take pictures...

Getting ready to take off

OH DEAR!!!
Amazingly all three people inside the plane walked away with a few scratches

Country Fun

Not many places you can have fun wheeling a chicken around in a wheelbarrow! 

It was hilarious to watch! 

Apparently they have had the dog in there recently too! 

Getting the Garden In!

Check it put we got a rototiller!!! Yippy I was looking at the garden and trying to figure how I was going to turn it to be able to plant stuff - and look what we found!!!

Yes we found it at the dump - sounds silly but it cost us a total of $15 and it tilled the entire garden - which is NOT small! 

Ed took the old motor put this one on, welded a piece and bought a V-belt and Voila working rototiller!

Can you tell I'm excited about it! 

Kids were in charge of removing big sticks and rocks

Chickens getting in on the action 

It did the greatest job and we planted everything the next day and have had rain and sun for the past few weeks. I have been checking the garden everyday now for new plants and I Finally started seeing them yesterday ! Yippy!
