Hot summer days

Ten things I'm thankful for this summer:
  1.  cool nights after hot days
  2. lots and lots of sunshine
  3. energetic boys with dirt on their noses
  4. irrigation technology
  5.  summer storms finishing with rainbows
  6. all things dairy (think ice cream and cold coffees)
  7. a baby girl with big blue eyes
  8. lakes and friends with boats
  9. fresh potatoes and a garden full of food
  10. my new pressure canner ;p 

Canada Day celebrations at the park in Taber!
Watching the movie "Home" - (it was lame btw, don't watch)
Canada day candy parade, also in Taber
Andy and Pastor Tyler ate candy while the kids collected it :D
We've had spray planes flying overhead a few times this summer.
Incredibly low. Must be good pilots.
The boys took out their toy guns and pretended to shoot the 'bombers'. 



This little lady loves the kittens.
Iris, Tulips and Sheepy-Sheep, our three wooly pets.

We have spent so much time swimming this year!
My garden had a slow start, but I'm reaping bountifully now.

    1. It was actually unreal nice all summer! (Don't want it too warm!). We enjoyed it with many other families! A few times we added fresh water which helped keep it cooler. With all the sun and hot days here we had a hard time keeping up with the chemicals. It's been such a fun way to spend afternoons in the heat. I had better pictures but they were on my camera which Rowan "washed" for me last week with the garden hose. Yes - it has been killed. :'(
