Day 7 Victoria British Columbia

This was the last day of our cruise. We got to Victoria Canada at 6pm and were there until midnight. So lots of the things were already closed. So we did lots of walking and went to a really pretty park. Here is Chris and Dylan standing on the sundial. It was really cool how it works!

So I've decided if you live in Canada then Victoria is the place to retire. Almost every big apartment bldg. was converted into a retirement/nursing home. It has the warmest climate of all Canada so I guess that is why? I thought this sign below was funny!

Here is Dylan showing us where we were on the globe. There were lots of beautiful flowers everywhere.

So we just happened to be there on the day the cadets were doing this huge flag lowering ceremony that they only do once a year. They were shooting canons and marching with their guns. This was all at the Parliment Bldg. with Queen Victoria out front.

Their trash cans were like art. They were even solar powered. Here is a picture of our ship lit up at night.

This is on the airplane on the way home. Elaina, Hayley and Josh. We had lots of fun and made lots of friends!

David and Dani's Wedding

The end of July we were able to go to Idaho for Chris' brother David's wedding. His new bride Dani is such a sweet girl. We are excited to have another sister in the family!

Chris' mom did most of the decorating. She built it all and it turned out nice. Their reception was in the same church ours was in almost 11 years ago. It brought back lots of memories. Oh how young we were back then. We are excited for them and their future together!

Cousin Camp 2010

We had our annual Cousin Camp again at Cherry Hill in the middle of July. This year it was VERY hot but we still had lots of fun. Some of kids are missing in the photo. It was a little more difficult with a newborn this year especially a newborn with a sunburn!

As soon as we got there the boys found the mud!! They had lots of fun getting dirty!

We played miniature golf and swam in the campers pool almost every day. We went to the water park one day too but I guess I forgot my camera back at camp. The kids all get along so well and have lots of fun together. We can't wait to go again next summer!

Orem Owlz game

We went to our first Orem Owlz game the other night. They were playing the I.F. Chuckars whose games we have gone to for years. The first hit I was rooting for the wrong team. Oops I guess I am an Orem fan now. The Owls are actually the farm team for the Angels! As we were sitting there a ball grazed the carseat (that Katelyn was sitting in) and landed in our diaper bag. That was a close one!

We had lots of fun sitting on the grass even though we felt like we were sliding down the hill the whole time! We can't wait to go again. We love baseball!!

Hayley's 9!!

For Hayley's birthday we had a pool party with a few of her friends. I made her a cute cupcake daisy cake. They had lots of fun swimming. Can you tell that I have a newborn and forget to take pictures lately?

She got lots of fun presents. Books, goggles, slippers, beads, a Bratz doll, clothes, and much much more. She also got a guitar from her grandmas. It will be fun for her to start learning how to play it now!
