Thanksgiving

We went to Mike and Tannis's for dinner. We almost didn't make it because of Roy's terrible directions but that's another story not suitable for blogging.

Mark and Clara

Not sure who is happier in this photo...Sean or Statira.

Happy Birthday Mark!

Roy buttered Mark's nose. He asked for hotwings and Frozen Oreo Cake for his supper. He bought a game for his Xbox with some of his b-day money and is saving the rest...but don't tell him because I think he's forgotten about it.

Ryan made the Red Deer paper twice in a couple of weeks. He's #55. The caption was not flattering to Ryan or his team. Ryan's team is 6-1 with one more game to go. Then there is the play offs.



Ryan and his team mates were in the Terry Fox run. This photo made the front page of the paper. I guess they took turns carrying their injured team mate.

Happy Birthday Ryan

Ryan turned 17 on September 7th. He is getting old because the candles set off the smoke detector. He had some friends over and is saving his B-day money for his first car. He has to wait until the end of November to get his licence.

The Boys in Blue

Ryan is playing football for the first time this year. They train hard, two hours a day after school. They even had three weeks of pre-training workouts. It is paying off; they are 4-0. Ryan is number 55. This is from their first game.

Cadomin

Ryan, Mark and I went to Cadomin for the night with Travis and Jen in their camper. On the way back to Red Deer we stopped in Nordegg for a weinie roast and smores.

Mark has to be in every photo.

Just after this photo was taken the park warden showed up. I didn't have firewood or a fire permit. Who knew you needed both. I just used some sticks from dead fall. The warden was very good. He just told us to make sure the fire was out. I must admit I did want to take his photo for the blog.....Thats weird. Anyways, I figure I better not press my luck.

Inbetween Nordegg and Cadomin

We found a chipmunk and he found my sunflower seeds.

Cadomin from the enterance of the cave.

Ryan and Travis found a neat spot to go. From where I am standing Ryan is about 30 feet down.

The cave sure was dark. You can't tell but we are in a huge room. The ceiling is 40 or 50 feet high and at least 80-100 feet long. Thats Travis in the front. Hes from Truro. I do not hold that against him......hehe.

The mouth of the cave.

Gull Lake Aug Long Weekend

Travis and Jen took us out on their boat when they came for a visit. It was a lot of fun. I have some videos of us tubing. I just have to sort out how to do that again.
