Canada

We just got back from a great trip to Canada. My pap wasn't doing very well so we decided that we better go see him. He had 4 types of cancer so we knew he wouldn't have much longer to see him. So we hopped in my dad's truck and had a 2 day journey with 3 kids. The only stops we made were for gas, potty and food. The kids did really well. Here is the set up we had in the truck.

Aiden

Bradley in his seat in the back

Emmalee in the middle

I was in the back where the adult

who wasn't driving or navigating slept.

Fun Pic.

I am so glad my mom came with us in the truck I could not have kept my cool for 2 whole days in the ruck with 3 kids without her. Love you mom.

Because I was spending a lot of time with my papa Brian tried to keep himself and the kids occupied. One of Brian favorite things to do in Canada besides golf is going to all the beaches or any kind of body of water. So he and my brother in law Mark took the kids to a river (i think). He took some really cute pictures of the kids. I am so glad Brian came with me to Canada he did so much with the kids that I had a lot of time alone to spend with my papa and nana. Brian you are awesome, I love you so much.

On one of our days in Canada Brian wasn't feeling well and I didn't want to stay cooped up in the house, so my mom and I took the kids to the dollar store and to the park. Here at the park we discovered that Aiden loves the swing. He had a smile on his face the entire time. We all had fun even me, I had a turn at the swing too. And I had a pusher so I didn't have to pump. When we got back home to AZ we bought a swing and brian hung it from the back patio.

My papa passed away on Sunday April 25. We had a funeral service for him on the 28th. I didn't get any pictures of that but I will get some from my mom. I am going to miss my papa so much. HE was a funny witty guy.On the day we were leaving we went to my pap's favorite lake and spread his ashes I know its not legal but it was what he wanted. The last picture is all my family on my dads side, except for my sister, her family, my dad and my uncle Kevin who had to work.

I am going to miss all of my family and friends in Canada. We had a great trip. Thanks to all my cousins who entertained my kids, they love you guys and talk about you all day every day.
