Davis's First Birthday

Hello Everyone!  We celebrated Davis's 1st birthday this past weekend!!!!!  We took the trailer out to the Coquihalla Campground in Hope, which was recommended to us by Derek and Jaime.  It's VERY nice there and we had an awesome time (on Friday).  Unfortunately, it started raining on Friday night and didn't let up so we had to cancel the big birthday bash that was planned for Saturday. 

Here are some pictures of the exploring we did on Friday as well as Davis eating his birthday cupcake.

And just in case you were wondering what happens when you're unhooking the equalizer hitch (learning for the first time) and there is more tension (WAY MORE) on one side than the other - AND, you're not expecting that amount of tension...........THIS is what happens:(

Yes, it's a pity party for one and yes I need some cheese with my whine, but darn it, it hurts and I want some sympathy:)

Kite Flying

Hello Everyone!

Jason FINALLY got home late last night after a long day of trying to get out of Fort McMurray.  The plane that he was supposed to catch in the morning didn't land because of the heavy snow, so Jason drove with a friend to Edmonton in hopes of having a better chance of getting a flight from there.  There was actually a warning to not be driving on HWY 63, but he made it to the airport in one piece and eventually flew out and arrived in Abbotsford at 10:30pm - only 12 hours late.

It's been a wonderful relaxing Saturday for us here.  We enjoyed a yummy breakfast (yes, I made it) with Nana and Papa John and then later went outside to fly London's kite and make use of all of this windy weather we've been having!  Davis merely endured, but Nana, Daddy,London and I had a wonderful time!

Having so much fun outside today has made me look forward even more (if that's possible) to all of the camping that we're planning on doing this summer.  I'm really excited for the family memories that we'll be creating.
