Summer Time Fun!!

Here is what we have been up to this past week.  We have been outside as much as possible to enjoy the nice weather.


 Feeding the ducks at the park

 Flying a kite, though we had to be creative as we forgot to bring the support stick for the kite.  I randomly found a bamboo stick on the ground which Anton carved with a nail clipper to fit our kite.



 Playing at one of many playgrounds



Checking out the airplanes at the air force base

 The bench says it all.

Playing in the sprinkler, at least this year the boys don't cry when they run through the sprinkler.

The Soccer Tournament

 This weekend the boys soccer wrapped up with a mini soccer tournament and summer carnival.  They had a game on Friday and two on Saturday morning.  Luckily, Tim Horton's had a food truck at the 9am game with free coffee and Timbits for everyone.

 Maddox - he wanted to be a "green" puppy dog

Ajay loved his colourful striped face

 The boys played on this slide for at least 2 hours on Friday night.  Luckily we still had our lawn chairs handy.

 Fishing

 Maddox working on his swing

 Ronald McDonald, aka "the crazy man with a funny nose - according to Maddox" did a magic show for all the kids on Saturday morning.

 Oh, yes they did also play soccer

Snack time!

Celebrating Father's Day at the Ex

We took the boys to their first Red River Ex.  They loved all the rides a lot.  Its lucky we bought them both all you can ride wristbands because they just wanted to ride them again and again.

The Speedway was the boys favorite ride


 Helicopter ride

 The merry go round

 The view from the Ferris wheel

 The boys with their friend Sophie.  Sophie is on the boys soccer team and I think both of them have a little crush on her.  It also funny that this is the second time in the last week we have randomly bumped into her and her family.

 In the dragon ride
