Trampoline!

Who doesn't love a trampoline? Especially a gigantic one with your cousins!
And especially a gigantic one with cousins who are really good at making sure the smaller kid doesn't get bounced off!

And then posing for D, who had Lexie's camera

And then to Revelstoke

The Easter Egg Candy Grab in Revelstoke. Never seen anything like it! They divided the kids up by age groups, and this was the 3-4 year olds. They had to wait behind a line and then when the announcer said "Go", they filled their bags as full as possible! This was the first time I've ever seen it--but no wonder my nieces and nephew were so excited for Easter weekend!
Just a partial shot of some of the crowd, including my two sisters, my Dad, and my nephew Josh (on Jen's shoulders)
Easter egg madness!

Park playdate in Lethbridge

Cousin Emma, not afraid to get as dirty as D (although she didn't go so far as to put the playground rocks on her tongue, go figure!)

A-Visitin Out West

Dawson & I went back to Alberta for an almost-2-week visit at the end of March. Rob was set to come with us, but had to cancel at the last minute due to an insane pileup of work (which is good, but a bummer at the same time!) So D and I flew back on the 25th, and came home again on April 7th. We had a fabulous time, and even managed to make it out to Revelstoke for Easter with my family. D was surrounded by cousins and, after he got over being utterly sick for the first 3 days (nearly all of which were at Nana G's, which really sucked) he had a great time--although he was really happy to be back in his own bed again (as was I!)

First try at the monkey bars...
And within minutes he's hanging out on his own
