Today we went to Stirling to pick up Kaitlyn and McKenna from their trip to their cousins house. Garth and Sarah took Kaitlyn and McKenna to their house and let them have a vacation with their cousins for 16 days. They were getting a little homesick at the end, but have many fun stories to tell. They both took swimming lessons while they were there, and had lots of swimming time in the outdoor pool there because Sarah had a family pass. They went on their first camping trip (Sarah's family was having a family reunion), and at the same time had their first time horseback riding. They went to a street dance, saw fireworks, went on bike rides etc. They just love their cousins and had a blast.
We left this morning at 9am to go to Stirling. We borrowed Josh and Alex's DVD player for the way up in the car. It's a 3 hour drive, and it was nice to keep them occupied. We stayed at Garth and Sarah's house for about 4 and a half hours. Had dinner (yummy ribs cooked on the BBQ) and went to the par with the kids and just visited. We got the girls things ready to go and were out of the door by 5pm to head back home. Once again, the DVD player was a lifesaver. It was amazing how many gas stations were out of gas this weekend. Maybe because of the long weekend?? The girls were happy to be back home, and wanted to check out their new school clothes we had gotten while they were away. They had a snack then it was off to bed for all of them.
Yesterday I had another wedding shoot. It was a nice day for an outdoor wedding. It was supposed to rain, but thankfully the rain held off.

  1. Every where in Alberta the gas is running out due to those bad storms we have had over the past weeks. The refinerys had some major damage thus the problem with all the gas loss. All the stations around are house are all out.
