Big Brother's and Big Sister's Rib Fest!!

I've been a little behind on my posts I know. My niece reminds me all the time since she checks. Sorry Leah I will try to be more prompt. It's not like I have two kids, a dog a cat, a husband, a house and a full time job to take care of. Never mind just trying to be a good Mom!! Hahaha. Auntie know just get with it right??

Any way, I'll make up with a few update on what we did the rest of the summer and how it went. On August 17Th we went to the zwick's park for the "Rib Fest", it was a good cause but I can't say that I would go again and waste another $60.00. that is how I felt. It was good but not that good. We had lots to eat but at $5.00 for a glass of lemonade that was made from concentrate seemed a little steep! it was for a good reason so that is how I keep justifying it!

So we went with Terry, Steph, Nick and Evelyn Steph's Mom.

We had fun. We got there just before it was too busy. We were leery about going because we though it was going to rain. And it did. We ate and the kids played at the combat camp for about 1/2 hour then it started. So we wandered on home.

Dalton was so funny. They got to play at the combat camp that the soldiers from Trenton had set up. Dalton actually asked one of them.." hey do you know my friend Shawn, he jumps out of planes there?" We laughed until I thought I would die. I said do you realize how many people work at Trenton airbase named Shawn, Dalton? The gentleman though the was funny too!

I loved the deep fried battered onions though. Only problem is my waistline doesn't. They were so good!! I'm glad they aren't something we can get around here! I might be more tempted.

Here is Dalton on the combat course. By the time the boys were done they both had green stained knees!! From the grass!

They had fun though so that is all that matters!

Sharbot lake.

We went to Sharbot lake this weekend to the cottage of the Goodfellows. We had a great time. This is a view of the lake from their deck. I love it there. You can listen to the loons in the early morning. And when your swimming in the lake they will come up to within 50 feet of you. Sometimes closer. the kids love it there. They can swim, kayak, play outside, ride bikes, you name it! That is when Dalton and Nick don't have something to bicker about! They can't wait to see each other but by the time the weekend is up they are sick of each other.

Some kayaking fun, we went on a little run down the lake Dalton and I he likes that. Darin can't stay upright in one so I guess that is the burden I bear. hahaha. Dalton loves being outside and doing things that he can't do at home so he was so happy when Terry got out the kayaks!


A little view of the cottage from the lake. The ambitious ones waiting on the shore. Afraid to get wet! Terry and Steph put a new addition on the cottage this year as you can see. It is really nice now. They can bunk up a bunch of people now if they so choose. Next year they will extend the deck and finish the things that they didn't finish this year. No matter it is really nice already.


Terry and Tyson just chilling after Terry arrived. He loves them and just climbed all over them both all weekend!

Thanks Terry and Steph what a great way to start out my holidays!
