No.348: Pool Day

While Grandpa came over to stay with Eldest, I was able to sneak out for an hour to be with Youngest during her class pool field trip. She was very happy I was able to watch for a while, as was I.

No.312: Watching Soccer

Watching soccer from the bleachers up high.  Even when the game is over I keep watching.  I don't want to miss a moment.

No.311: Soccer Goalie

She's great out there.  She loves playing all positions, but Goalie seems to suit her Asthma better these days.

No.296: Volleyball

The Agronomist and I drove 5 hrs to the city to watch our eldest play in the final tournament of the year.  We are so proud of how well she played.  She was able to drive back with us. We did a little shopping and had a few nice meals.  It was quick but nice. Grandma and Grandpa spoiled looked after the younger two.

No.227: Arbre En Arbre

One of our favourite days in Quebec was at Arbre en Arbre.  A tree climbing, zip lining, 40ft in the air experience.  I love this picture because she didn't even know that Dad was flailing about, struggling to get his foot free, high up above her.  

No.192: Water Fun

A weekend of firsts.  Our youngest tried tubing behind the boat.  So much fun!

No.191: Gone Fishing

Gone to the lake to feed the soul.... and as luck would have it; the tummy too.

No.188: Wall Climbing

When you were a kid did you feel like you could touch the sky?  

We went for a walk to sign up for the half day summer church camp, the girls always love, 

and ended up at the city park.  It was a really nice afternoon.

No.185: Farm Fun

The day after the wedding, after driving the two hours home, and taking our eldest to the plane (you can read about it HERE) the next morning, we drove back with the two youngest and enjoyed a day with extended family.

No. 159: Keeper

School Keeper

No.158: Soccer Shoes

The school soccer team went undefeated.  Our eldest played in net except for the final game.  She was sick but still watched from the sidelines.

No.79: Block

It's her first year in club volleyball and she is learning so much.  Our weekend was spent pretty much here. We had a friend and her daughter stay with us and it was so nice to catch up.

No.62: Goalie

After watching her older sister in net for years... it looks like we have another goalie!

No.58: End Of Season

It was a good season.  A job well done.  A lot of fun.  Thanks dad for coaching.

No.57: Soccer Tourney

It was the year end soccer tourney for our youngest.  Three 1/2 hour games.  She made some goals and ran hard.  The season is finished for another year.

No.45: 1st Time Skier

We have always wanted our girls to know how to ski.  But it just never seemed to happen.  Well, for the first time as a family we spent the day on the ski hill and everyone had loads of fun.  We can't wait to go back.

No.44: Sure Shot

We drove two hours to spend the day at a French Winter Carnival.  There my two youngest daughters spent a lot of time at the air rifle practice range.  This photo was taken the first time she shot without her eyes closed and she heard the ting of the can being hit.  It was a fun day.

No.18: Soccer Girls Run

Our eldest has played soccer since she was five.  She became a keeper and played both indoor and outdoor  club soccer for three years.  This year she decided to take a break and instead enjoys her weekly soccer game in a city rec league.  She has since made the club Volleyball team.  After this game, without any substitute players, she told me "Mom, girls in Volleyball have no idea what it means to run hard."

No.15: Bowling

It was Friday family fun night, and we had planned on going skating after school.  It was raining, almost unheard of in the month of January.  So, we decided to try bowling instead. We played one set and had a great time. Pizza and Movie at home followed.  It was a nice evening.  (especially for the Agronomist who was able to finally beat his wife's score. . . after only 17 years.)   I know,  it's a weird talent.  I must  have some sort of bowling gene from waay back. Oh yeah, The Eldest beat my score too.  I think I passed along the gene.
