Babu and Shosho: Tyler and Juliana's Visit

It was such a pleasure to have Addy and her family join us on the farm for their vacation this year! Addy was so much fun! She was just delightful. Of course the rest of her family was great to have here too, but Addy had made so many changed over the past 6 months, it was amazing to see! What a beautiful, fun 3 year old she is!

Here is Tyler, Juliana, Addy and Mckenzie, on a tractor for a family shoot.

...and beautiful little Mckenzie and her award winning smile, with her lovely mother, Juliana!

Dillon and Tyler had a day to enjoy together before Dillon had to head back to Edmonton to get back to work.

Babu and his little ones. He is always in heaven when any of them arrive. Wil and Mckenzie, both a little over one year and they were lots of fun together. Lindsay and Nathan flew to Australia, and left the boys here. They enjoyed being with Addy and Mckenzie on the farm. They hardly got homesick, and were as good as gold without their parents. They had lots to keep them preoccupied, that's for sure!

Addy adored being outside as usual, and she spent time loving on our kitties. They loved all the attention!

Wil was a super crawler, but we encouraged him to walk on his own. He was going everywhere by the end of his visit, but he also learned how to climb on this truck all by himself and make it go! Not much stops him!

Mckenzie could run, and often did when the boys were around. She had fun sliding down the slide in our backyard, and splashing in the kiddy pool!

Sweet sisters. They got along so well. Addy was always mindful of what 'Kenzie' was doing.

Mckenzie loved to get on this tricycle, but it was hard to ride in the grass. Her legs weren't quite long enough either. What a cutie pie!

Wil is helping Babu play guitar one night before bed.

Story time was common and I always had a crowd. This 'slide' book was a hit, as everyone took turns opening the doors. Wil, Shosho, Mckenzie, and Addy

We went up to Waterton one afternoon near the end of their week. The kids enjoyed eating hotdogs at 'Weiners of Waterton' and playing at the new park with all it's new equipment. Here Addy and Mckenzie are going down one of the slides.

Wil enjoying a long swing. He was mesmerized!

Beckett being brave on the winding slide! Addy showed him how to do it and they had fun going back again and again.

Down by the lake throwing rocks and relaxing in the shade. Don and Wil under a big tree!

Tyler and Juliana...what fun it's been to have them here in the summer!

Don and I are in the photo together with all 4 of the granchildren. It was amazing that their swings all swung forward at the same time! Beckett is the farthest away, then Wil, Addy and Mckenzie in front.

Back at the lake side resting for a moment. Addy doesn't sit too long but she did join me for a while. It was such a beautiful day in Waterton. A rare thing, for sure!
