finding new parks!

One of the first things that we found once we moved 
was the new parks close to our neighborhood.

This was one of our favorites!!

Even Ms. C got herself up to that red slide.

What a fun time.

Moving!!

Moving Day has arrived!!

We tried to make it easy and fun for everyone.

Not sure if that actually worked.  

But they loved camping out on the floor together.

We tried to pack everything up the day before.

The kids loved watching stuff downstairs out of the way.

Once the truck arrived they were eager to help.

Maybe a little too eager.

Odd as it was the littles stayed out to help the longest!

Sleeping on the floor the night before we leave!

I cleaned long into the night and stressed a lot.

When we moved some of the furniture we 

found more mouse poop.

Shane was super supportive and provided 

ice cream to sustain me through.

We had a great group from our ward come 

help us load the truck.  

Some of our favorite people.

Thanks Fellas!!

We had an amazing group waiting for us in Cochrane too.

We even had someone drop off Pizza!

They loved packing my pantry closed for me 

with my kitchen boxes.

"Well you said in the kitchen."

It was  a great way to feel welcomed 

to the community!

One last party!

 We sent a mass message right before we left that we 

would be at the park one night after supper.  

We were so happy that so many of the kids friends 
had made time to come.  

We felt so loved and will miss so many of the 
wonderful friends that they made!

These two will never be the same after meeting each other!!

Besties Forever.

These two as well!

Even Ms. C will miss friends.

So many friends stopped by to visit. 

I will miss these ladies soooo much.

So many friends!

These two are so great. 

I'm so grateful for all the friends that we will

miss so much when we leave!

500 Blog Posts!!

 Ok time to toot my own horn just a little!!!
I have been really happy with myself and the 
product of our little family blog this year.  

I have blogged more this year than any other year.
500 Posts is a really big deal for me,
thanks for coming along!

The finished product!!

 Well we squeaked this project in just before the move and 
man I loved how she got herself into high gear to finish it up.  

The rain didn't help! 

But it is Amazing and she's gonna love 
having her own desk!

Ms. E was also super happy to help.  

What a good sister!

TADA!

Camping one last time.

 We headed back to tanner camp for one last fun weekend before our move!

Watermelon and hamburgers!

Camp dinner is always so yummy!

Then first up was Ziplining of course!

And the beach!

Check our their fun towel fort.

Till the towels need to be used.

We tried some new water toys too.

Ms. A found and decorated the 

perfect walking stick

And found lots of inspiration for stories.

Smores after the lake.

Getting ready to go for an explore.

Checking out the new Amphitheatre.

Spying wild flowers.

Hiking up to the ridge.

More Flowers.

And awesome moss.

Snacks at the top.

Time to walk a new loop.

It was misty rain.

The misty rain meant lots of frogs were out in the grass. 

(or toads?)

We also caught some grasshoppers.

More frogs/toads!

Back where we started. 

Time to head back down to camp.

The next day some friends met us as the lake.

And had supper with us.

Of course we went ziplining with them.

And played human foosball!

We're lucky we have such great friends!

We will miss them a lot!
