What a neat experience for our kids to do this with Grandpa. I am so thankful for all he does with his grandkids to develop such a close bond!!! Emry loved every second of the plane ride and can't wait to be on one again!!!!

Girls Club Part 2
Since it was too cloudy to go for a plane ride the first time Grandpa tried with the girls it was rescheduled for another day!!! Instead of going for a plane ride they went shopping and to a movie!! Lily and Emry each came home with a new hoodie and they went and saw Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom!! But no worries, they did eventually get in the air. Emry was so nervous to fly since she had never flown before. She sat beside Grandpa Glen which I think was a huge saving factor in actually getting her in the plane. They, like the boys flew over Champion and our farm!!! But they also flew over Lily's farm. I didn't make it home in time from work to catch them but Jared was at the farm and got a video of them flying quite low. The plane waved at him again and off they flew back to Lethbridge.

Kananaskis Hike
The weekend before school started we decided to do a little hike in the Kananaskis. We decided on Troll Falls, a very easy hike in and out, and some beautiful falls to see. The drive out was beautiful, I love the mountains, so majestic. We got to the parking lot where the hike starts and boy was it full. Because it was a long weekend and the last before school started everyone had the same idea!!
The hike in was fairly easy, my kind of hike!! We stopped lots to take pictures.
The falls were beautiful, and kind of mysterious. The legend has it that a troll actually inhabits the area, we even saw his face frozen in the rocks!!!! There were lots of people there looking at the falls, but it was still fun and we got some pretty cool pictures.
On our way back out we noticed a sign for the Upper Falls. The boys really wanted to do it, I wasn't sure. My lungs are so bad since I had that blood clot in them, but we went and am I ever glad we did. I didn't make it all the way to the falls as I set a slower pace then everyone else and they were headed back down as I was trudging along!!! The Upper Falls weren't as spectacular as the Troll Falls but it was still neat to see!!!
Driving home we made a loop around where we started and ended up in High River. Just in time for some supper where we ate at Boston Pizza.
It was a fantastic day, I love spending time with my family. And what a great way to end off such a great summer. Now its back to school, back to routines and back to reality!!!!

Owen’s 17th Birthday
For Owen’s 17th birthday we took him boating!!! Boating seems to be what we do best in summer!!!! It was a perfect evening! No wind, the water was calm!!! My mom made a very yummy ham and we used it to make sandwiches on the beach!! I made Myrna’s chicken pasta salad and mini cheesecakes for dessert!!! It was a great birthday!!!
I can remember when Owen was born, I got to be in the delivery room and I thought it was the neatest thing watching a baby being born, such a miracle!!! Now he’s tall and 17!!! Where does the time go!! He is such a kind hearted, quiet yet compassionate young man!!! I sure love him and I’m thankful for the example he is to my kids!!!
