Will and Kate visit Calgary





I never really paid much attention to the royal family. I watched the weddings, I saw the crash, the funeral that ensued, and the tabloids with all the lies. What I never imagined though, was how excited I would be that Prince William and his new wife would make the trip to our city. I never waited in line for tickets, I never donned the ever so popular fascinator, but I did take my kids to see a real live Prince and his Princess.
While everyone was lining up to get tickets to see the Royal couple, I was at work, then when they were opening the doors for wristbands, I was at the dentist. When I thought there was no hope for a chance to see them, I walked into the Max Bell arena and promptly walked out with tickets in hand.
Neile and I packed up the kids early Friday morning to see the beginning of the Stampede parade, in which Will and Kate would be making an appearance. After fighting for a spot on the sidewalk we saw the motorcade drive by in the blink of an eye and said maybe we would be better off going to the other venue and being early. So off we went on the train and a bus to end up at Rotary Park, NE.
The kids got to run around on the grass while we waited and there seemed it was going to be a great chance to maybe even meet the guests of honour. Wrong!
I did get some pictures of them though and some memories of Averi in her excitement at seeing the princess in her pretty red dress, that made the whole day worthwhile.

Finally Springtime

The weather hasn't been very warm this year so far but that doesn't mean the kids haven't spent time outside getting dirty.




What kid doesn't love a ride in the wheelbarrow?

The Kids


Bradley is 14 months old and still choosing to only walk while pushing something. Just like with Averi, he will walk when it's his time. 16 year olds don't crawl, do they??

Camping


We have been camping almost every weekend since the snow stopped flying and I haven't had the chance to blog about it. Here are some of my favorite shots of the fun we've been having.
