Fabulous Flashback

While going through old videos of the kids to put together a bunch of the best ones for Trista, I found this gem that I had to post. I may have posted it before, but it amuses me so much I'm going to share it again. Plus, its an amazing reminder of how fast these little cuties have grown up! Wow! Enjoy...

Mother Nature's SK fog & wonder

this is the fog part
and more of the fog part
and the fog & "wonder if that is a car" part
and then the wonder bits start
even along the edge of the slough
and above
and in the pond
and along side the pond
in all it's thickness & wonder
and on city signs
and road signs
and falling off
right down into the valley again...this time w/ snow
and right up to this neat old bridge!

Getting there...

i have the best travelling buddies and this one was no exception - Levi joined me for a siblingless trip to visit his big boy cousins in SK - we drove through, rain, sleet, freezing rain, snow, fog & blizzard conditions - with only about 4 'are we there yets' from Levi
my buddy!
we had great curiousity around the many wind turbines that were being contructed nearby the #1 by Wapella
a finished one
and into the beautiful Fort Q valley...without snow! *cheer*
but as you can tell, that eventually turned into rain, ice & snow!

SK sports

first...begin with a snowy, frosty, foggy day...
then add big cousin powered GT rides...
with transmission problems...
a little street boardin'...
more GT riding...
and then of course, street hockey
and more hockey...get up, man
celebrate, cheer & yell
concentrate
express yourself oddly, by doing "celebration cartwheels"
and then right back to hockey!

The 3 stooges play table hockey

while Levi decided that a chair was the perfect height to stand on & play...
Graeme decided that the chair was the perfect thing to lounge on and take on his bro & little cousin...


They came sneaking downstairs the first morning there (I was sleeping in the basement) and after ensuring that I was awake, Levi promptly zipped over to the light switch, slapped on all the lights and begged his big cousins to play table hockey with him. This video pretty much captures the excitement & actions of this trio!

All about the boys

G'pa on a reading marathon w/ Levi
these nutters were impossible to get a nice pic of...this is the best of 12 and still we got this forced smile from Graeme, a wilted one from Levi & this outrageously fake one from Spence
3 lively boys...2 reading...one vegging...recovering after having a ball w/ Levi
