Wordless Wednesday

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to a few of my favorite mom's, in no particular order. There are some mom's missing, I'll get you next year! Hope every one has a fantastic day.

Our Finale Day in Ontario

Well, I must say when I originally planned this trip for Kevin's graduation/birthday, it was not with ON in mind. Originally I has planned to go to D.C. then head back west and take in the Grand Old Opery, and go on over to Graceland, as not only does Kevin love Disney he also loves his music. One day while talking to my daughter, Nicole, she said why not go to ON instead of Tennessee? I thought well, why not? After all it had been awhile since we'd been there and family is always a good thing to visit with so change of direction it was! We are all happy that things were changed. It was great to reconnect with everyone. They are all fantastic people and we probably won't wait as long to get back there again. Everyone needs to remember we live in a pretty fun town also! Not to mention our winters are much better than yours so plan your trips soon. Lil, my dear I hope you are paying attention. I know you want to head this way!

Cal with Carol and Michael, Kevin and Michael, next time Laurie will need to be there so we can get a picture of all three siblings together.

Fun shots of the two girl cousins together. Doesn't it look like they are having the best time? Sharing secrets from the past maybe?

After lunch we made our getaway to the border, we thought we might have some problems as we were traveling in separate cars. My van had been across the boarder a couple of times already that week, when Nicole went to pick up Mark they didn't like the fact that we'd already been across once that day and were going back already. Everything went fine, Carol was nice enough to drive down to Detroit with Calvin and Kevin so we didn't have to make two trips, we couldn't get everyone in our van. Laurie was on top of things and reserved us a room in Detroit so we didn't have to worry about that we just had to get there.

We arrived about three and that gave us plenty of time to do laundry and let the kids swim.

We are really thankful to everyone who made this a great visit for us. We truly hope to do it again sometime.

Part 2 of Park Day oh Boy

After all our fun at the park we headed on out to Kathy and Ross' for some great times with family, some pizza and some horse rides. Kathy and Calvin are cousins, born just one week apart. It was nice to see Lil and Ken (Kathy's parent's) there also. I think the kids all had a fantastic time there as Kathy and Ross are just real nice, down to earth people. There were lot's of running for the kids to do at last in their big yard and they have a great dog too. Just nice for them to be out of the hotel room and not at such a public place where they could just do their own thing.

Here is a picture of Kathy and Ross with one of their horse's.Little miss enjoying a cracker.Kai, drinking out of a mason jar (Nicole liked it so I got a pic) with a little help from his daddy.
Nicole and Isa, talking about the horse's. Isa was so excited to see them, feed them, touch them and of course get to ride one.

Kevin on the horse. He so enjoyed this, he used to ride at least once a week when we lived in WA. I think I'll see about getting him back into it here. It seemed to be something he misses, all the way home all he wanted was to be a cowboy and get the boots, shirt and hat that goes with all that.

Calvin, Kathy and Kai.

Jessica and Kevin.Thank you so much for all you hospitality, Kathy and Ross. It was so much fun getting together with you all again. We know your week had been a bet hectic, to say the least and we are so lucky you were able to fit us it. Hopefully it won't be as long until our next get together. You all know that Vegas is a lot of fun too don't you? Remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!
