Another view of the living room.
This is a view of the living room from the kitchen.

Angie, Karen and Judith finally relaxing on the deck after all is cleaned up. Francine is not on the picture, but she helped alot as well. It's a good feeling when the mess is all cleaned up - because moving creates a big mess it seems. But it also gives all a feeling of accomplishment when the move is complete.


After the trampoline was set up, all the kiddies wanted to jump.



Exciting - a trampoline isn't it!!!

Tracy in Neerlandia with the boys

I babysat the three boys Sunday morning - and let them watch a little animal video - they were both enthralled.
Seth wanted to pose for a picture too.

Freddy watching the little squirrel thru the window.


This little squirrel, who the kids named 'Nuts' comes on the deck everyday to eat cat nibble - not a bit shy. The cat doesn't like his act, so little Nuts teases him all the time. Quite a cute show.



Another pose of Nuts!!!




We stopped to enjoy the view for a while and take a washroom break!
View of the bridge!
At Morris and Mary's - it was quite warm to the kids all had a swim!
We left for home early Monday morning and it rained most of the way home. Morgan took a picture of someone receiving a fine from the police - just to prove a point not to speed!!!

Weekend to B.C.

Pap, Betty, Morgan and I went to B.C. for a weekend to go to Natalie Snijder's wedding. We left on Wednesday afternoon, drove to Revelstoke, B.C. and stayed there overnight and drove to Morris and Mary's the next day, arriving there Thursday afternoon. We had wonderful weather on our drive, but it seemed to take forever. Here Morgan is resting in the back seat of the truck.
Since I usually take a camera along but usually forget to take pictures, Morgan took the liberty of taking pictures out the back window of the truck. Not a bad job eh!
More of the view out of the window.
Here we were sitting in a traffic jam as there was highway construction. The jam was about a mile long and it took an hour.

The Renewed Fort Assiniboine Agricultural Centre

Gerry restuccoed the centre of the agriculture building in the Fort and Pap installed the rock and sealed it as well.
Tracy and the boys went along while Pap and I painted on the sealer - the boys were quite impressed with Opa`s work.




Tracy and her boys were in Neerlandia for a week!!!

One of the highlights of their holiday was to ride the dirt bike - here Ethan is raring to go - and he was so good on it, very confident and brave. He loved to go as fast as he could and all the way down the driveway!

Here is Noah getting ready for take-off. He was a more careful driver, slower and cautious. He did not want to stall it because that would mean that he`d have to push it back down the driveway.
Guess who is the hungriest!!!!!


The boys enjoying their food. They sure had a good time together.



Gerry - does he look relaxed for a Sunday?




Tracy and the Boys were down for a week!!! What fun!

Gerrit Jan nursing sore heels.
We all were at Ang. and Wally`s for a wiener roast for Freddie`s birthday on Sunday - here the kids are inhaling fruit salad.

Noah and Iris chilling out on the trampoline.


Holding baby Isaiah - he is certainly growing well - looking pretty serious here, isn`t he!



Seth is the little homemaker of the family - wants to help with dishes and takes his shirt off before we even start so that it doesn`t get wet - loves splashing with the water!
