That's One Way...

to get the job done!
I just thought it was so funny when I glanced out the window and saw him sitting in a chair, slowly reducing his designated pile of rocks.

On the Way Home

These first four pictures were taken in the garden at Just Us Coffeehouse in Grand Pre.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The following ones were taken at Evangeline Beach where we stopped briefly to look for birds. However, the tide was out, and we walked the ocean floor instead. At low tide, the water recedes as far as a half-mile in places. To reach the water, one must brave the mud which oozes between your toes. When the tide turns, beware! It comes in almost as fast as one can walk! Be prepared to spend some time and a lot of baby wipes attempting to remove the "liquid chocolate" that has climbed at least to one's knees. 

Shoes were ditched pretty early on.

 Headed out.

They did eventually reach the water's edge.

Aidan, Luke, and I turned back. It was just a bit too slimy and slippery for us.

What a day to behold God's wondrous creation!!!

Upper Clement's Park - Part 4

Excited much?

Dry... but not for long.

And down they go!

Aidan's expression is priceless, and I, in the very back, appear to be missing my head :)

These were harder than they look. 

You were allowed to go around 3x, but I only made it twice.

Luke made it around 1 full time, and I was VERY impressed!!! 

Applying the brakes was a bit tricky; thankfully, the attendant ran out to assist him.

How about a fierce game of Laser Tag?

Train ride.

♥ oldest and youngest ♥

My precious 6 year old.

A sleepy toddler.

Aidan takes a turn on the biplanes :)

And last but not least...

Do you remember this ride that Asher despised? 

Apparently, all it takes is a sweet little girl asking him to accompany her and he readily complied :)

Upper Clement's Park - Part 3

These pics are all from the ball pit. 

I absolutely LOVE how they all turned out.

My boys are so sweet, and I am such a proud, very blessed Mommy!

My baby!

Asher and his beloved Aidan.

Look closely!!! Like father, like son... remember the last post with the reference to Patrick's tongue... LOL

Love

♥♥♥

Upper Clements Park - Part 2

A game of mini golf...

 followed by Bumper Boats ("toddler" version)

Their expressions say it all... someone is GOING DOWN!!!

(take note: Patrick't tongue)

He has no intention of going down; but if he does, he is taking someone with him!

Upper Clements Park - Part 1

Drew and Sean

Patrick and Aidan

Fighter Pilot - Luke loved this ride!

There they go - Luke and Asher

(take note: Asher really did NOT like the biplanes and refused to ride it again until...)

This next set is a series...

Left picture: Asher plotting his escape

Right picture: Threatening tears

Full blown melt-down. 

Slowly recovering.

This turned out to be Asher's absolute FAVORITE ride of the day. 

He rode it too many times to count!!!

Meanwhile, the others enjoy a round of bumper cars!
