A Few More Camping Pics...

Camping 2009

We had a great camping experience this past week. Not as much rain as they had forecast, so our spirits weren't dampened. This was the first full week of camping we have done since the kids were born. Well, actually, I think it's the first full week of camping for us ever! It helped that we were able to borrow a pop-up trailer that someone so generously offered. It made it a bit easier than a tent. Here are a few pics of our fun week!

Love of a Lifetime

15 years ago today, I married my best friend! WOW!

Here are a few pictures to remember when...

Spring on the Farm

More pictures, as requested! :D

Faith boating...

Little lamb...

And, just a few random photos...

Canoe Trip

This past Sunday afternoon, we spent the afternoon with friends canoeing down the Thames River. The kids loved it and it was so beautiful. The weather was perfect.

Me and Kathy (not very flattering, I know)

Faith sat between me and Kathy.

Garrett in the other "dingy" being pulled by Tom & Dan (and Haden)

We even managed to see two bald eagles sitting in a tree.

We were moving so quickly at that point I just managed to get a picture of the one.

If you look closely you can see the beak of the other just a bit below the visible eagle.

So cool. First time for all of us seeing a wild bald eagle.

Mud Walk

Today was a great day for a mud walk.

Garrett went thru 2 pairs of boots. They had fun getting their boots stuck in the gushy mud and trying to get them out again.

Hockey

Hockey is a BIG part of our life. One hockey highlight was when Garrett got to have a turn being goalie for his team. He was thrilled and had all the right moves...

Pep talk before the game.

Leading the team to the ice.

Practicing his stance.

Saving a goal.

Just being a goalie.

Happy 2009!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
