Splash Park

Gotta visit these places once in a while! It hasnt been too hot this year though.

Up the Mountain...

It's more like a huge hill in the middle of the city. It used to be a dump years ago and is being rehabilitated. It is quite the trek! Great exercise for us and the kids.

Lilly, Aidan and the Train...

Luckily for us Waterloo has a railroad that runs from Waterloo to St. Jacobs in the summer. The steam engine isnt working this year but the diesel is. We went to check it out one day. We have yet to ride these trains but we'll see!

Lilly and the Trains...

I think that everyone knows how much Lilly is in love with locomotives. Thomas started it and we've encouraged it. You can ask her lots of questions and she knows the answers. She knows where the pistons are, the drive wheels, what a diesel electric is and a steam engine, the tender, the boiler and all that stuff. She now gets "big" train books from the library to look at the pictures. She has even made up her own song about narrow gauge engines... I know, you'll have to look that up. It is pretty amazing. This locomotive lives at Doon Heritage and Lilly makes sure to tell you that, "it doesnt have a face."

Our little boy is getting bigger!

It is amazing all the things that he can do now - a year goes by so fast!

Gone Fishing...?

Big gold fish - what a way to keep kids entertained! Thanks Sheridan! These fish are so neat, and very large!

New Road Construction

Construction was all over the place near our house this summer so the kids LOVED it! They got to see all the big machines and we didnt have to go very far either! What a great (and free) trip it was for them to watch that stuff during the day! I think most of the little kids made freinds with the machine operators this summer!
