Saskatoon Berry Farm

The kids and I went out to the Saskatoon Berry Farm just south of Okotoks today for our first U-Pick experience! We had a great time, it might have been a bit late in the season so the berries were slim pickings but mom got enough to make up some white chocolate/saskatoon berry scones (well at least tomorrow that's what we're doing). Although we should have had more berries to bring home but the kids kept eating them out of their pails while I wasn't watching!

Stopping to smell the flowers










LOVE this rocking chair, all the chairs in the pictures are made of out of resin instead of wood so they'll last forever, but this rocking chair was my favorite, I'd love to have it on the porch (cept our porch isn't big enough so I guess it'd be stuck in the back yard) but it's still so bright and cherry and comfy!!














Liv liked the Adorondack chairs the best













trying to blend in













An older gentleman walked by and laughed at Carter commenting that he was catching the last rays of summer.













So there's a sign saying that the roosters may chase after and bite young children, so naturally, mom of the year goes looking for them to show the kids LOL. We came around a corner and almost ran into them, so I pulled the kids out of pecking distance and took a picture. I'm not a big rooter fan, but these guys are kinda pretty with their fall colors and all.










Some pictures of the neat flowers and plants



































Ready for picking!

























hahaha, this picture made me laugh, he tried three times to blow all the fuzzies off, so cute!











































That's My Girl!

Liv has this thing about getting undressed after supper, she doesn't usually make a mess out of herself but once she washes her hands or goes to the bathroom after supper she'll come out naked, so tonight she decided she'd dress it up a bit.....kinda...













A Trip to the Park

We took the kids to the big school park last weekend, they loved all the new things to play with, but while we were there a flock of seagulls dropped by and caught their attention.










So we told the kids to go chase them away....LOL
































Really, she's not trying to strangle him......I think...














Sticky Hands and Big Clouds

Olivia and Carter have these sticky hands, and Liv decided to throw it up on the ceiling the other morning, and it stayed! (we've also found it stuck to the ceiling fan in her room LOL)










daddy had to give her a lift to get it down.













This was a crazy cloud that was east of us while all those weird storms were going thru this summer, I'm not sure if anything came of it, but it sure didn't look good!

Movie Nite

We had a family movie nite a couple weeks ago, we ordered pizza, pulled out the sleeping bags and watched The Emperor's New Groove. The kids only lasted for part of the movie (Carter for maybe only 30 minutes) but it was our first movie nite and we had fun while it lasted!






























































Silly Dress-up!

After cleaning up the playroom one day the kids pulled out the dress-up clothes and we had a little fashion show.
