Road Trip North

Aayla and I traveled north to Calgary, Alberta Canada with Aunt Jody, Grandma and the boys for a family reunion. We all piled into 2 very full, small cars ready for a 2 day road trip. The kids did SO GREAT!! Once we arrived we enjoyed cousin Savannah's 3rd birthday party, playing at the park, checking out new play spaces, riding rides at an amusement park and spending lots of time with our wonderful family.

We took advantage of the great weather and took all the kids (aka: "a small circus") to an outdoor amusement park called Callaway Park. It was fantastic!! They had a ton of smaller rides perfect for our group.

Excited kids on the drive to the park.

The monster trucks were a big hit. I think they rode them 3 times in a row!

You know it's been a good day when...




A BIG THANKS to Justin, Sonja and Savvy for hosting us, feeding us, and letting us all take over your beautiful home!!


Unfortunately, it seems that cousins Jenn (myself), Tammy, Jyothsna, Justin, Erick, and
Grandpa Bob, evaded the cameras this time. Luckily, we will all visit again at Christmas!

(We missed you Keith and Jim!)

We can't wait to see everyone again for the holidays!!
