Today we headed off to Fairhaven Park to take advantage of the beautiful weather and play in the water park there.  Unfortunately, we found out once we arrived that it doesn’t open for another 5 days.  Fortunately, there was a pretty great playground, or I would have had a bunch of grumpy kids on my hands!

Here, David is tasting the flour, which Esther thought was hilarious and “gross”.

Working hard to mix…the recipe required about 10 minutes total of mixing time, and the end result was very unspectacular.  I much prefer my sour cream coffee cake recipe given to me by Heather E years ago.

The finished product after we were finished with it for bedtime snack.  :)

Uncle Andrew has been staying with us for most of the week.  Here he is playing “And Is It So” (Eventide) for us on the piano.  Not bad!

“Uh,oh!  There’s no back exit in here!”

Refueling truce.

Trying to be intimidating.

It was a day when one thing after another went wrong. This is how it started: We were just pulling up to the border when it became obvious that we had a serious problem with one of our tires….Peter stuck his head out the window to check and sure enough…one tire was suddenly, completely flat. We spent the next little while sitting in the border crossing parking lot changing the tire.

Uncle A. takes a turn…I have to admit that I was impressed with his strength…it was nice to have him along!

Finally! The jack was super flimsy. You had to hold it together at a certain angle while you cranked on it….definitely not easy!

As you can probably guess, my intention is for this to chronicle (mainly through photos) our children’s lives for family and friends. It will also be a record for me, as they change so fast and it is hard to remember all the things they do and say from one year to the next. Hopefully it will also remind me to take more pictures. :) Realistically, I don’t know how often I’ll be able to update it ….we’ll just have to see how things go.

To start things off, here are a few pictures from our trip to Science World on Saturday. We had a fun time although it was super crowded! We always seem to spend the most time in the “Eureka” exhibit, and today, especially for Luke, it was a dream come true. He had as many balls as he could hold and water all around to play in! The “Bodyworks” exhibit was definitely meant for more mature audiences. It was a case of walking in and saying “hmmm….our kids don’t need to learn about this just yet, and “casually” walking out again.” ) We missed the cautionary sign at the entrance. LOL.
