The Batemans: May Long Weekend

Just to warn you there are a lot of pictures here! Have I mentioned I am loving my new camera?

For the long weekend (Victoria Day) we went down to Magrath and stayed with my parents. My brother and his family are living there right now so it was a full house!

On the Saturday McKay got hit his lip on a porch swing. Poor kiddo was just bawling but sure enjoyed his 'medicine', a popcicle!

It was rainy so we went swimming in Lethbridge. After dinner Daniel and I took the kids and visited his cousin who just moved to Magrath. It was nice visiting and we look forward to seeing more of them when we go down.

Family picture, one day we will get one where everybody is looking!

Sunday afternoon was nice. We went for a walk to the Spill Gates.

Benson found some deer on our walk.

Kimber wore the monkey backpack but only wanted Nana to hold the leash.

We also found some fox on our walk. Here is Papa showing Kimber the fox.

Of course there was a short stop for throwing rocks in the creek.

Taylor enjoyed being outside.

McKay and Taylor riding in style.

I love this picture of Kimber, no real reason, I just love it!

Just to the left white railing is where Daniel proposed to me a just over 7 years ago. I love that spot!!

Kimber walking with Papa and Nana.

Bens and Audrey taking a short rest.

Yummy! I love this guy so much!

She sure loved going on the walk!!

I love baby feet! She has crazy toes though! The look much better than when she was born but the are still pretty squished together!

On our way back to my parents I crouched to take a picture of the horse and it stood up for me and posed very nicely!

Nana doing story time before bed.

My Mom has a neat tunnel that kids enjoyed playing with! We even had a card table with and tent on it at the end of one of the tunnels for them to crawl to!

McKay peeking out!

Always on the go!

I love my baby snuggles!

Daniel went through a lot of effort of putting the grass skirt on Kimber and as soon as he was done she did this! Oh well!

McKay's lasted a little longer though!

We went and visited my Grandpa and he showed us some things he found during the war. It was neat hearing him talk about some of those things.

We had a bonfire and roasted hotdogs for lunch before we left and had s'mores for dessert! Yum! The kids were crazy when it was time to leave, especially McKay. For anybody familiar with Magrath and area, McKay was asleep by the time we crossed over Pot Hole Creek!

We stopped in Strathmore and visited with my sister and her family and my brother. Here the BJ's were building with mega blocks... they actually got a pretty big tower by the end!
