the kids summer project was to build volcanoes. it took awhile as we did it in stages, but in the end, they looked fantastic and the kids had fun 'blowing them up'.

Kettle Valley Railway

Makenna and I spent Saturday afternoon of the August long weekend crossing the trestles and going through the tunnels. We had a wonderful time together (aside from Makenna wiping out, inches from a cliff - no exaggeration).

every week, we take carrots to the bunnies - boy are they cute!!!

Disneyland

We spent spring break at Disneyland. What a blast! The whole family had fun - scary rides and all. The kids were surprised as we didn't tell them until we were at the gates, ready to board the plane. It was tough keeping it a secret, but worth it. Here's some pictures.... can't wait to go back again.

The Big White Disaster

The Bansewis' (Bansers and Lewis') and Papa set off for a fantastic weekend at Big White. I can honestly say that through the lack of directions to the chalet, horrible weather conditions for skiing, hot tub not so hot, over flow of sauna bucket water onto the carpet, puking Ty, and wacky sleeping arrangements... we truly had another incredible getaway and we're looking forward to doing it again next year. Yes, we are crazy!!!
