St. Albert fun!

As one of our children smashed the lens of our camera, we could only take photos on our trip with our phones.  Kind of a bummer, but we got lots of cousin photos in the summer at our house.  So no big deal.  The reason for the trip to Alberta was Mike's scheduled hunting trip.  We decided to take advantage of it and have the entire family tag along to do some visiting at the same time.  We hadn't been back to Alberta for a couple of years, and not since Henry was born.  We did gets lots of visiting in, and the girls and Lizzy had TONS of play time.  It was really special for them to get to bond like that.  They miss Lizzy and ask to see her a lot, especially Rose as they are the same age.  As the kids get older it'll make more sense to visit when school is off, but for now it was fine to miss a week.  While we were gone though, the weather in Burlington was amazing, and the weather in St. Albert was freezing!! 

It was really so great to see everyone, and nice that people got to meet Henry, and we got to meet Lincoln and Juliet for the first time too (the other new kids!)

Grandpa Jerry and Henry.  Poor Henry had a major cold at this point. 

Paige's must do activity: Galaxyland:

 We also spent some time at Servus Place.  Mike even took all 3 kids swimming one day when I came down with Henry's cold and needed to have a nap.  He met up with Uncle Tyson too.

On our last night we went to Auntie Judy's for a dinner.

Great Group photo!

The boys were so cute together.  Lewis would reach over and pull on Henry's tray so he could inch over and steal his food.

 Luckily we had a reasonable flight time on the way home.  Henry was still very sick though and not happy on the plane.  I finally got him to sleep after a long period of screaming.  I think everyone on the plane was relieved.  He woke up as we were getting closer to home though and Mike held him for a while as henry screamed and rubbed his ears.  Poor little guy.  I'm glad our next flight will be to Florida, and it will be a lot shorter....
