D with a front full of ice cream after a whole day of road tripping through the valley

Eating our ice cream at the choo-choo train (it's a tradition)
Dawson's absolute favourite choo-choo
Whoops, it's sideways. D helping Rob dig some holes at a friend's farm.

That's the helper, all right--head as far in as it'll go

D feeding the work horses grass, and making friends for life

Maggie-dog
Dawson and Tom, the pet turkey (nope, not ours!!)

The new retaining wall that Rob and neighbour Dione built

D's face paint after the Spring Fling at the Falmouth School last week--he was so proud of it, and mum made him wash it off before bed (bad mummy).

Roscoe and Blue a la nap mode
Roscoe and his new buddy, Blue (aka Super Dark Blue--yes, Dawson named her).

Maggie and Tucker seeking shade on a hot day

Dawson reading a book to me and the belly

D's version of love

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

Jake (10months, Chesapeake Bay) and Theo (almost 5, a Leonberger)

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

D rocking out on a duck
D's photo, including my belly (which, I admit, is getting harder to avoid these days)
Cousin Sarah
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!)
