July - visit from Grandma Willms!

Grandma flew out on July 1st to spend some time with us while she has her summer off! It was a great time and we packed a lot in, but also had a lot of time just to sit and relax, and also do some gardening! Weeding is always better with 2 :) Our first stop was Buffalo Pound. Joel had Friday off because he worked on the holiday so he could have a long weekend. We packed up a picnic and set off for an afternoon of fun in the sun! It was a perfect day and we enjoyed our lunch, and then went for a swim in the lake!

Burying Daddy's feet in the sand on the beach.

Such concentration... we don't really know what she was watching, but she was very intense!

Chloe decided that trying to cover daddy in sand all over would be good, too...

I decided I needed a prego pic, as I don't really have on yet... This is me at 19 weeks - with my lovely sidekick!

Mom and I took the girls to the Mortlach Saskatoon Berry Festival. It was a good time! There were booths set up, live bands playing, lots of people to visit with (the joys of living in a small town) and good food! We enjoyed Saskatoon Berry pie and the girls had ice cream cones... then we took the horse drawn wagon ride. Chloe kept calling it a "party". I guess to her it was!

Sunday after church we enjoyed lunch on the deck and of course had to take a family pic! Too bad grandma is hiding behind Chloe...

Well, it was a great visit, and sad to see it come to an end - especially since we all (except Joel) ended up with the flu right after Grandma left! But at least we get to come to the Valley in a couple of weeks! Can't wait! Thanks for a great visit, Mom!
