Fun times in Vernon

We had a great welcoming party Thursday as we backed in to Jeff and Christal's driveway in Vernon. In the front window, there were big waves and huge smiles from Owen and Christal. An excited dog was jumping and barking. Sweet little Evelyn stood frozen in her mesmerized state. And Jeff arrived home from work just behind us. It was the start of a great weekend.

It didn't take long for that shyness to subside. We soaked up those big smiles, the giggles, the cuddles, the hugs and the kisses. Lots of fun.



Riding bikes in the driveway.



There were bubbles and baths!





Climbing trees and playing ball in the back yard.





Swimming in the pool.



Stringing beads, reading books, playing with toys plus a little computer time.

Christal's parents, Lane and Marg came by for dinner on Saturday night and Richard and Janice joined us later that evening for a visit around the fire. They had stayed an extra day for the Falkland rodeo. Yes, it was a great weekend!

It was sad saying goodbye this morning . . .
