~ Puddle Jumping ~

Last Wednesday after all the rain we had left nice BIG puddles in my Mom's complex. Lennah, Charley and I we going for a walk when we discovered the "puddles of fun", we did an about face to put on some welly boots! As you can see the girls had a fantastic time. Lennah was wet up to her neck and we had to dump out the boots at least 4 times. She ran and jumped and galloped and leap-frogged and pushed her sister around. I think the seniors in my Mom's complex had as much fun too. A number of people stopped by to comment on how much fun Lennah was having, others drove by waving with big smiles on their faces.

~ Truck Got Smucked ~

If you look closely you can see where the Ford Taurus is impaled on my trailer hitch. He attempted to drive away, the car was in reverse while we were talking to him, but because of the trailer hitch, he was unable to go anywhere!

I took this photo aiming straight ahead, the way my truck had been parked! He moved it over approximately 3 1/2 feet.

On top of, and resting beside my Mom's Jimmy.

On Sunday night as Mom and I were watching the news in our PJ's when a crash loud enough outside the livingroom window to literally scare us off the the couch could be heard. Neighbors came as far away as three and four houses down the street. One thought a BBQ had blown up! No, it was only a Ford Taurus that had crashed into my truck, pushing it into and ontop of my Mom's truck. My 8000lb diesel truck was pushed sideways that far!!! Thankfully no one, including the driver was hurt. Between my Mom and I, we've got approximately $10 000 worth of damage to our vehicles. Just when I was getting ready to head home to McBride and settle in to our new digs. Oh well, we'll be there next week some time.

~ Canada Day 2009 ~

Breakfast at the FireHall

Boat trip to Rainbow Falls

~

Back in the Lower Mainland while Nathan is overseeing our big move to McBride, warranted some "fun in the sun". My Mom, the girls and I spent Canada Day with my sister and her family in Harrison Hot Springs this year. We had pancake breakfast with the firemen at the FireHall, along with a ride in the firetruck! Grandma was all set to take Lennah and Eric along on the ride, until Lennah realized Mommy wasn't going with them. So, I had to go along with the kids (poor me! LOL).

Then we all piled into the boat for a quick boat ride to Rainbow Falls for the day. BBQ on the beach, dinghy ride for the kids and another boat ride to get all three girls to nap. We came back in for pizza before Mom and I left to return home.

We had a great time, thanks to the Letourneaus!
