Happy 85th Grandpa!

We celebrated Grandpa's 85th birthday on Saturday night!

Aunt Wilma came as a surprise.

Raenan & Abe loved playing with the balloons.

...while Jadon enjoyed Thomas the train.

Baptism

Jude Koobs and Madison Schneiders were baptised this morning.

Spring Cleaning at Camp

While the kids work hard at cleaning out the gutters...

...the adults busily rake leaves

Gearriveerd

Tante Jo & Oom Dolf made it to Canada!
Grandpa and I went to pick them up.

While waiting we noticed there are

a lot of birds in the terminal

Sweet CousCous

Mom tried out a new recipe on Sunday.

It was delicious!

Canadian Weather

Canadian weather means you have 20C weather one day...

...and snow the next!

The tulips are looking a bit frosty.

Spring Flowers

Crocuses, Tulips, and even Daffodils (in far background)

In the Sugar Bush

We went to our neighbour's sugar bush to enjoy some
fresh maple syrup, neighbourly company, and pancakes!

This year there were wheels on the horse-drawn wagon.

The kids love the wagon rides.

They had a good turnout.

New Equipment

The milking robot is here!

Dad had to take it off the trailer - pretty scary!

It just fit through the shed door (within inches)

The Juno (feed pusher) was dropped off too.
It will be a demo.

Easter Hike

After eating lots of eggs we went for a hike.

The kids loved it down by the river

Sheriff, Alinda's dog enjoyed it too.

Throwing sticks in the river

Owen

Firetrucks!!!

Marc, Mom, William & I went to visit Matt at his work.
It was his day to drive the pumper truck.

He gave us a tour of the trucks
(which was interrupted a few times by a some calls)

But, after a few hours of waiting for his return
we still got to try out some gear and sit in the truck.

How spiffy is that?
