Making our way through Southern Alberta

How lucky are we that our trip wasn't totally over yet!  Still days of fun ahead with the Hancock families!  Our next destination was to the little town of Claresholm, where Grandma and Grandpa Hancock live.  We hadn't been to their house for a few years, so it was fun to see it again!  They took such good care of us and we felt spoiled having them all to ourselves for a few days.  Grandma pulled out the table games and paints.  We also enjoyed park hopping, getting "slurpees", and eating lunch at A&W.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

She also let these girls hang out on her patio with her fun little decorative pet friends!
Ofcourse we had to make a trip to the town pool.  Ella looks so cute!

A few days later we headed further south to my birth town of Magrath.  This is where Auntie Brenda and Uncle Wayne live.  We made it for the Magrath Day's Parade.  It's a wonderful parade because the kids have such fun gathering as much candy as possible.  They really get a lot, probably equal to Halloween!  Oh ya, while we were there I had a baby!  Isn't she cute!  This is what I look like with 4 girls :)  Little Kaylee Dagenais let us borrow her for a little while.  I love peaceful newborns.  It's too bad we couldn't claim her.  She belongs to Brenda's daughter, Amber.  Thanks for sharing her Amber!


Brenda, and especially Wayne maxin' and relaxin'!
 Grandma and Brenda wanted a family picture of us before going to church.
 My 3 matching cuties!  I love these girls!
 Grandma, cookin' the hotdogs for a yummy family bbq!

Amber's husband, Dan, is always so great at playing with our children.  He got them out on the front lawn playing football!
He even let the girls play!
Adalae and Evey got along so well this year.  Little Arnold, Trina's boy, is looking on trying to figure out what these girls were doing!

This is a sneak peek into our trip to Kalispell Montana.  Isn't this St. Mary's Lake gorgeous!
