Hinton- warning lots of pics!!

Alex eating a sandwich, she was so cute.
Cooper digging, he loved to dig in the sand or pull a boat in the water - a true boy
The monkey bars- this was a real love hate relationship- but she did it in the end.

a moose a little ways away cooling off - what a cool place to live eh?

The kids filled their buckets full of tadpoles, Madi and me were grossed out by it but Karens kids picked them up by the handfulls ewwww.

This past week we went up to Hinton to see my sister Karen and her family. We had such a great time, my kids had so much fun with their cousins. Cooper loved playing with Alex, and Madison and Sydney played the entire time together and we barely saw them all week. It was so nice to be with my sister and have someone to talk to while we watched all our kids. Karen actually had to babysit one day I was there and we ended up having 14 kids there in her little place, but she is so relaxed and it hardly seemed to stress her at all, me on the other hand would of gone mental. It was so hot we spent two day up at the beach there and had so much fun. The kids loved collecting tadpoles and swimming in the COLD water, they loved to build castles out of the sand and Madison had the most fun accomplishing going across the monkey bars. She tried the whole time to get all the way across and by the end of the two days she could do it. I was pretty proud of her.
