Mommy and Me days vs Daddy and Me days.

Image
Each year my husband takes each of the kids on a Daddy and me day. This year it was Wyatt to a Canadians game, Jack to the Planetarium and Mady and he hiked the Chief. On those days I 'helped' Wyatt make a Newton's cradle, juggling balls and a beer bottle cap mobile. On Jack's craft day we made survival bracelets. All while Mady crafted things to decorate her room to go with her new bedding. That's how I do Mommy and me days. Enrich the children while feeding my addiction, I mean interests, 😋.

Two weeks on the road with no creativity, in 5 days I went on overload. I made a dreamcatcher mobile, crocheted a dish cloth, survival bracelet and made a sweater clip. I also "helped" Wyatt make a newtons cradle, 3 juggling balls, 6 ft of his corking blanket and a beer bottle cap mobile. Assisted Jack and Mady with their crafts. Busy week.

Our Road Trip 2016

This summer we decided to take the whole family on a 2 week roadtrip from our home to West Edmonton Mall and back. We left here and headed to Osoyoos, BC for 2 nights I think we spent the 2 days in the worst weather that Osoyoos had all summer. Super windy and rainy. The hotel was subpar and the beach was lovely.     On our way to Revelstoke, BC we stopped in Enderby, BC and we found this amazing place called Log Cabin 1912. One of the best parts for the whole trip.    Revelstoke was amazingly beautiful. We stayed at Base Camp and it was nice and homey. The family was sad to leave. On our day we went geocaching and to the Revelstoke Dam and Visitor's Centre. Colin and Jack really enjoyed it. We left Revelstoke for a very long day to Drumheller, AB through Banff National Park, AB.  Too commercial for me. We arrived in Drumheller, AB. So many mosquitoes!    We went to the Royal Tyrell Museum. Jack and Colin were in heaven.
