Calgary and Back to Lethbridge

Saturday morning we drove up to Calgary to the Foothills Hospital and visited Ross for a while.  He was rather tired.  Donald and Diane were also visiting Ross and Paulette.  On the way back we went to visit Nathan and Tara and family and on the spur of the moment invited Keaton and Lochlan to return to Lethbridge with us.  We then went and had supper with Edward, Jacqueline and family before returning to Lethbridge.

The boys picked raspberries and Nanking cherries from our back yard and we made a pie.  It was really delicious.

A Day in Waterton

On Thursday Sue-anne and Carter came for a visit.  Later in the afternoon they took Darwin and children out to Chin Lake to go boating.

Friday Darwin and children went to Calgary to go to the Stampede with Edward and Jeremy and  families and on Saturday evening they picked up Amber at the airport and Sunday they returned to Lethbridge.

Monday Sue-anne, Taylor, Langley and Carter came to Lethbridge and we all went up to Waterton.  We had lunch and then took "The International" up the lake to Goat Haunt, Montana.  It was a beautiful day for Waterton.  We had ice cream and fudge, visited the Prince of Wales Gift Shop and then drove back to Lethbridge for a Pizza supper.

Tuesday morning Darwin Amber, Caden, Chloe and Owen left and we were all alone again.  Wednesday we went to the Temple and today we inspected apartments ending up in Stirling and visiting Joan and some of her family.. 

Lehi Baines in Lethbridge

Darwin, Caden, Chloe and Owen arrived late Tuesday night.  Wednesday we went to the park and to mini golf.  The Mosers (except for Darryl) came for supper.

Another Trip to Calgary

We got home on Thursday and I went to bed with a sore throat and a cold.  On Saturday I felt better and got up and had breakfast (I only had a bowl of soup on Friday.)

We got word that Ross (my brother) had been airlifted to the Foothills Hospital in Calgary.  We rushed up to Calgary and spent a few hours with Ross and Paulette.  Ross wasn't speaking at the time and I don't know if he knew we were there. Donald, Diane, Joan and Earl also were there.  The next day Ross began to improve and is now speaking a bit.

Anne and great grand nephew, Cohen Walker

 Our grand-daughter, Mickey had a great swim meet in Edmonton last week-end.  She did well enough that she will be going to the Canadian Nationals in Quebec City later this month.

The following came from the Cascade Swim Club News:

 The girls 14&U had to fight hard for their spot in the 4x100 FR as they were 3rd and 4th right up until the 300m mark. We hit 1:03.12 with Ava Free followed by Ana Kolaric in 1:03.14 and then Brynn Wist in 1:03.14 pushed the team into medal contention. Finishing with a blazing anchor split of 1:02.21 it was McKinley Baines who brought home the gold.

We came home Sunday afternoon.

Canada Day

Nathan and Tara returned about noon today.  We had planned on going back to Lethbridge this afternoon, but Bob forgot to pick up some shoes he left at the shoemaker for repairs so we are waiting until tomorrow morning.

Edward rode over on his motorcycle last night and Jeremy dropped in tonight.

Keaton made a Canada Day Cake.  Tara helped with the decoration.

Calglary for a few days

After transfer day  on Thursday we drove to Calgary to stay with Nathan and Tara's boys.  Nathan and Tara left very early Friday morning to go to Newfoundland.  Liam, Keaton and Lochlan had their last day of school on Friday.

Saturday Bob, Orson and Liam went to Red Deer for Highland Games.  It was a hot, hot day.

Liam Earned a 2nd and a 3rd

Orson Earned Gold

Sunday we went to church and spent some time visiting Jeremy and family.

Monday morning was award day at Orson's school.  Bob and I went to see him get his math and physics awards.. 

Last night we had most of the Edward and Jeremy Baines family here for family home evening.  Lochlan had gone shopping for ice cream treats.

New Windows

Our new windows have arrived.  Now the fun begins. I don't know how long it will take to install them.
