Heeeelllllo??

Dearest Dawna and Rochelle
Are you still alive out there??

:)

We miss you!

Hope you girls are having a ton of fun out there, but I hope you also won't mind when you come back to us :) It was pretty awesome having you two here!




And Karen, this is we do with the earrings we get from you!

Thanks Aunty Karen!

Thanks Aunty Karen!! We love the presents we got from you! I started feeding my baby right away and Damon wouldn't let me play with his cows, even though he had 2!!

Pictures of us in Fintry back in August 2005!

 I don't remember much of this trip...but it looks like mom and Missy, Ro, Dawna, and Teri along with Leanne (and Amber on the inside:) and Karen with 4 month old Kyleigh and myself and 2 year old Alison came along for the trip with a bunch of the Doesburg's.  

Here's mom cooking breakfast for all the girls with the old Suburban in the background.

 Ro is carrying Ali and Dawna's drinking a Jammer thingie.

 Ali

 The tall bushy guy and the busdriver Veldkamp lady's dog hung around Ali...looks like it's taking a bite out of her here but he's not:)

 I have always loved this pic of Karen and Kyleigh.

And one of me and my girl.  We look a bit burnt and tired.  And I think we were only there for one night.  I think mom and the other girls stayed longer but I don't remember. 

We are looking forward to it...it's all booked and paid for....now we just wait until Friday, July 6th:)  ...and hope for sunshine and no wasps right Kar? :) 

BC Christmas 2011!

This is our Christmas Dinner 2011!  We came, we ate, we drank, we merried, and then we headed over to Gramps and Gramms to sing some songs. 

I have tried three times to upload the video of us singing Silent Night.  So far Blogger isn't letting me.  We are heading out right now for a Nienhuis '2nd' Christmas dinner but I will try to upload it when we get back.

Have a good evening everyone!

Fintry Provincial Park

Howdy everybody! So Jen's done a bit of research about our camping trip for summer 2012 and it looks like Fintry Provincial Park is the best choice for us.  Most of the other ones are booked solid.  Fintry has flush toilets and showers which is a pretty big deal for most I think.  Fintry has changed a lot since we have all been there last, and there are a bunch of local things to do around that area too.

We are looking to book July 6-13th.  This means we arrive Friday, and leave the following Friday morning.  If any one has a problem with these dates, let us know by tomorrow, since we want to book that afternoon.  The other option is July 20-27, but that may create more problems for the field work.

Oh and as for the fees they charge a minumum of 15 adults to a site (we're technically 13 but can count Teri as a 16 year old bringing our total to 14) and 3 kids from the age of 6-15....that being Ali, Kyleigh and Amber.  The rest of the kids are free.  For the 15 adults it's $4/night and for the 3 kids it's $1/night...so Jen did the math and it's an extra $63/night in addition to the camping fee which is $100/ night.

 

Here's another of you two crazy girls having the time of your life.

BC to AB to OZ

Dearest Dawna and Rochelle
You are far away right now.
Far, far away.
You can't see what I see.
And you can't hear what I hear.
But, I found a picture of the two of you from 2008.
And although the water temp is higher in Oz
Then it obviously was in Cultus that day.
We still wish you a happy Christmas.
And a very good day.
The end.

BC in December
