Calaway Park

One of our FAVORITE things to do this summer is go to Calaway Park. We purchased seasons passes so every weekend we are in Calgary we go there! At first I wasn't sure if there were a lot of rides the boys could go on but there are a ton. Wyatt definitley loves the kid bumper cars & kid roller coaster. He constantly asks if he can go on the big roller coaster so everytime we have to take him over to the measuring sign and show him he's too short before he'll stop asking. The seasons passes (on sale) were definitely worth the investment.


Unfortunately Jakey does a lot of this. I can't wait for next summer when he can go on more ride and have more fun!


A couple of weekends ago my sister and her kids came up for the weekend and we went to our FAVORITE place! Wendell was happy because he finally had someone to go on the log ride with him. I serioulsy dislike getting wet!




2 Wheelers and Swimming Lessons!!

So while we were in Cranbrook Wyatt jumped on his cousins 2 wheeler and was doing pretty good on it. The plan was to get him a 2 wheeler for his birthday in January but we decided to try to find him a used one for now. It took him a couple of tries but within a week or so he was cruisin on that bike! I am so proud of him. It's a new milestone that he's reached and I can't believe how grown up he is! He's 3 1/2 and riding a big boy bike!!






Another milestone for Wyatt was his first swimming lessons. ( I put him in lessons last year in Cardston and he hated it and we didn't even go the second week so it doesn't count!) The main reason I wanted him in lessons was because he was scared of the water. He hated putting his face under and would cry and cry if we tried to get him to float. Well he loved lessons! He had a blast and adored his teacher. (His first crush) He even met a friend and they would hold hands. It was a ton a fun and I"m glad he had a great experience!

Floating & putting his face in the water!



Holding hands with his friend and following his teacher!

His "I passed" thumbs up!

Trip 2 of 2 to Cranbrook

Trip #2 to Cranbrook was in June. We didn't end up stopping at the "World's Largest Truck" in Sparwood.
(Apparently it's not the largest anymore anyways!!)

We went camping at Moyie Lake just outside of Cranbrook. It was a beautiful campground and you actually felt like you were camping. We spent Saturday jet skiing at the lake. I'm actually really starting to enjoy camping now that the boys are getting older. I think in the next couple of years we will have to get some sort of trailer. Here are some pictures from our fun camping/jet skiing weekend!



There are 6 kids on the tube with Wendell!!

Jake's first time out on the jet ski. Mommy was a little nervous while they were gone.

Wyatt's first time on a two wheeler. He decided he wanted to try out his cousin's bike and was doing pretty good on it too!

And I had to add this picture because it shows Wyatt's "classic" cheese face while enjoying some yummy desert with cousin Teegan.
