Summer 2011

The school year is starting for this Mama TOMORROW!  Craziness.  The M & M's and i had a super fun time this summer!  Thought I would share some of my pictures I took from my phone :)  I usually post these on my other blog, I try to post a picture a day, sometimes I fail miserably...sometimes I don't.  ANYWAY...here is our summer photo phone dump pictures.

Boys Day!

As promised....Boys Day post!

Last week my friend Barb and I left our girls at home, and took the boys for a little day trip to Edmonton!  I never get the chance to just hang out with Big Mack for a whole day, not since our tiny blonde tornado arrived two years ago :)

And it was a great day.  Get ready for another picture-pa-looza!

Everybody strapped in...they were both so pumped to be sitting beside each other...and not their sisters!

 First stop: Alberta Museum...I remember going there when I was little, and it is great for kids!  There is nothing that they can wreck, and lots of room to explore...and it was pretty quiet, us and two or three other families!  Shhh, don't spread that around though

 Rocks and Gems

The treasure room!

 Dino room

 Wow!  That's huge!

 The bug exhibit!

Those are real, LIVE, cockroaches-ew, double ew!

 Butterflies

 Hole-e Rock

 BFF's ~ Aidan & Mack

 First Nations section

The scene was that demise of a buffalo, Aidan was very concerned :(

Look at those two "animals" going into the Wild Alberta area

 Beavers

 Wolves

 Finding animals with the flashlight...this is their version of "sharing"

 I thought this was gross...dead animal, things eating it - ew...

 Mack thought it was awesome.

 Pretty cool

 Having lunch at the park--cool dude Aidan

 Ugh...laying in the sand!

 Latin Festival!

This was a gold mine!  We went downtown to go for a little swim in the fountain and stumbled across the Latin Festival (Mack liked the music) and they boys both LOVED the fountain AND the big SLIDE (unlimited sliding for $7!)

I am totally loving this double slide--possibility for the second annual M&M Summer Party?  Maybe....

 Swimming in the fountain downtown!

iphone photo's of the museum!

I think we are going to make this an annual memory maker!

Wordless Wednesday's...

Look at these two BFF's on their super fun "Boys Day" -- I will blog our trip tomorrow.

Sweet mother of everything holy....are they both looking at the camera?!?!  CrAzY!

And I am thinking I probably should have changed the name of this post to  "49 words on Wednesday"

Oh yeah I forgot!

We went to Callaway Park a few weeks ago....very exciting!  The M & M's had ALOT of fun and they got to hang out with their Atlanta cousins and make some more memories with them :)

Big Mack hanging out with Uncle Mike...and yes he is "adjusting" himself...again.  Anyone who has hung out with Mack in the last little while, well, you know he does this often :)

 Mack and Chloe racing somewhere...I really love this picture.  I think they really liked each other ALOT more this trip :)

 Aunt Dawn and Hannah on the bumper boats

 I ♥ feet pictures...you already know this though.

 Super pumped Daddy...I think he was happy because Miss. Matea was having fun and not acting like a tiny tornado.

 ♥ M & M ♥

 Big Mack and Matea's fave place to hang out...one word ew.

 The kid beside Mack was the same age as him...just kidding :)

 They were in heaven, all I saw was germs, germs, germs. 

There was so serious hand washing after this, we probably should have burned their clothes after we got home :)  Just kidding, but it seriously was gross

 Roller coaster time!

 Bouncy jeeps...always a good time for Daddy :)

and of course, you guys know how I like to take a look at back at the M & M's,

Matea is like an infant, and Mack looks like a baby!

They have grown up sooooo much!
