What a wonderful weekend!

I have had such a wonderful weekend. Friday after school we met with some new friends from our church. We met at Teapot Hill at Cultus Lake for what I thought would be a quick walk up the hill. Our kids had no problem at all but clearly I am out of shape because what used to be a quick walk was actually quite difficult. Here is a picture of Hannah at the top resting. It was quite a hot day so we were all a little overheated.
After the hike we went down to main beach and our friends treated us to a bbq picnic. It was a great time and the kids really enjoyed playing with the other kids even though they were quite a bit older. Our kids even went swimming in the lake...too cold for me.Saturday we did some shopping and running around and in the afternoon the kids took out the kiddie pools and enjoyed staying cool splashing around in the water.
Sunday after church our friends were visiting their sister who happens to live across the street from us so us ladies (plus Marc) packed up the kids and took them to the water park at Mill Lake. They had a great time and as you can see, so did Marc.


After the waterpark we took the kids to get some Gelato and then headed out to Hannah's school to try out our new kites. It was a perfect day for kite flying. Ben loved his Spiderman kite and Hannah enjoyed her dragon kite. Although the kids enjoyed using their kites it was Marc and I who seemed to have the most fun flying them. It sounds silly but until you actually go out and spend an afternoon flying them, don't mock it...it really is enjoyable.


We wrapped up the day by having a picnic on the field and had some really good laughs. Marc and I really enjoyed watching our kids personalities shine. We love them so much.
