Summer Fun!

Jonathan had this past week off, so we've been busy fitting all our day trips we had planned to do this summer!

Today, was the Priddis & Millarville Fair, complete with everything a country fair could possibly offer - a petting zoo, farmer's market, rooster crowing contests, pie eating contests, parade, and Hayden's personal favorite, the bouncy castle!

The kids loved the petting zoo! Hayden really had a soft spot for the bunnies and kept wanting to hold another one after his turn was over. And the chicken was a bit of a handful because he had to have two hands on him at all times, otherwise he was flying right off his lap!

Yesterday, we went to Kayben Farms, which is a U-pick farm for saskatoon berries, but they have an amazing adventure park for kids that Hayden and Aubrey loved!!

Potato sack slides and pedaling go karts . . .

Feeding the goats . . .


Chasing the kids in the corn maze (and somethings, trying to find them . . .)
Taking advantage of the beautiful scenery in Okotoks - thanks, Allison, for the great family portrait!

Hayden and Aubrey enjoying freshly picked raspberries, just off the path to the petting zoo . . .

And, the most fun of all, the giant trampoline/bouncer that even us parents enjoyed! I have to admit, I felt (and unfortunately, acted) like a child again on the trampoline as it took me back to my summer days growing up on my trampoline!
Aubrey and Hayden had a blast bouncing and being bounced all over, especially Aubrey - that girl has no fear!


And, our trip earlier in the week, took us down to Lethbridge to visit Jonathan's Grandma. We went to the Japanese gardens and enjoyed the beautiful grounds.
