A Good Week

After stake conference, where the children assembled 1000 coloring kits for hospital waiting rooms,

Keld and I went to the temple. 15 years minus 15 days!

We could only do one session as it didn't start until 5.15 and we had to go to Niagara Falls. However, before the session, we got a special tour from the president himself! I got to touch Moroni and Keld liked all the mechanical rooms. It was worth it, thanks to all who helped so we can go !


So, as I said, we went to Niagara Falls for a work conference. Here's our hotel view, by day and by night.

For those of you wondering about your taxpayer money, don't worry, they got a conference deal!

Keld was, of course, busy during the day, but we visited a bit in the evenings. 

We found my size of chocolate bar...

We came back late Friday night and early Saturday morning, Kelden had a cross country meet. He did his best, as you can see.

 He's going to Opishing this week. Good luck !

Back to School and Back to Work !

All the kids have now started school.

Since they're all there, I'm going too! I started last week as a lunch monitor. I "monitor" one hall (4 classes, but there is a lady in one of them, so 3 classes) for half an hour while they eat and then I "monitor" for another half hour while they play outside.

The kids are also back to piano. Julia started when she was turning 7, Kelden when he was turning 6, so Zack started, now that he is 5!

 He was pretty excited for his first lesson. Let's hope he keeps his enthusiasm !

Labor Day Week-End

Labor Day in France is always on Keld's birthday. In Canada, it's always on the last week-end at the cottage.
Last chance for adventures.

Last chance for rides.

Time to pack.

Until next year...

Timmins Kayak Challenge Festival

Last Saturday we went to the Kayak festival, not that we actually watched any of the races. The kids were busy doing all the other free activities. We started with the magic show, stayed a little bit for the Scottish dancers and then we went to learn about Hydro. Julia and Kelden tried the powering bike.

Then they went with Zack for a laser tag game.

Only Kelden was brave enough to climb the tower.

He almost made it to the top, but he slipped...

Only Julia likes cotton candy.

All of them enjoyed the little farm.

After many turns on the inflatable race course, Keld was still working, so they went to dig some gold.

 The next best kind of gold.

Happy Birthday Aunt Emmy !!

Today is Emmy's special birthday (29 on the 29th).

We hope she is able to celebrate a she must!

Happy birthday!!

A Couple Days at the Cottage

Since Keld's hunting trip was shortened, he took a few days off to be with the kids before school starts again. We went to the cottage where he finished the cabin and put back the horse.

He also did quite a bit of fishing.

The kids had fun.

Only one more cottage week-end.

One More Week

The kids are back to school next week. We are enjoying the vacation time by going swimming almost every day.

The kids are becoming real fish!

They were already monkeys!
