Here are some pictures of the grandsons in Calgary.

Weekend in Calgary

We had a busy weekend. Friday evening Keaton had a birthday party at Laser Quest and Orson had a piping lesson.

Saturday morning we picked up for the food bank.  We had 205 houses to check out.  Most of them didn't donate, but we filled the back of the van with what we picked up.  We also went to a corn bust at Sundance Lake.  I was tired from all the walking.

Saturday night Tara's parents came and stayed over and went to church with us on Sunday.

In the late afternoon Jeremy, Edward, Jacqueline, Austen, Lincoln, and Miranda came for a visit.  Bob, Orson and Liam went to stake priesthood meeting in the evening.

A Squirrel in the Front Yard

Calgary

Lots of birds and animals in Calgary.  We see squirrels everyday and have seen rabbits today.

Yellow Leaves

Over the last couple of weeks the leaves have been turning colour and the days have been getting shorter.  I really hate for summer to end.

 

On the eighth September we went to Brooks for the interment of  Ross's ashes.  We had supper with Paulette, Donald, Diane and Joan.  On the way to Brooks we stopped and visited with Sue-anne.  

Over the two weeks we inspected twenty apartments and attended the temple twice.

Now we are in Calgary with Nathan's children while Nathan and Tara are in Japan to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary which was in August.  Bob has been busy.  He drove Nathan and Tara to he airport, took Keaton and Lochlan to and from school (Lochlan comes home for lunch so has to be picked up twice a day), drove Orson and Liam to a cross country meet on the other side of the city and took Matthias to swimming lessons.

Tomatoes - Yea

This is the first time in five years that we have been able to grow tomatoes.

End of our Vacation

We stayed with Jeremy, Julie, Kennedy, Jackson and Mickey from Friday to Sunday.  On Friday evening all seven of us went to the Big Fork Summer Playhouse and saw "Hits from the 50's, 60's, and 70's".  Jackson didn't think there was anyone under 21 years old there, but I did see a couple of young children.

The first time we ever went to the Bigfork Theater was exactly 50 years ago.  We saw "Pyjama Game" then.

Saturday it was a bit windy in the afternoon.  We went out to eat supper at El Topo restaurant.

Sunday we went to church and about 1:00 p.m. we left to come back to Lethbridge.  It rained as we went over the pass.  There were a lot of black trees from the fires that closed the pass a few weeks ago.  The rain stopped as we got near St. Marys and we saw blue sky for the first time in days.  We were home by supper time.  It has been very windy since we arrived in Lethbridge.

No More Smoke

I Hope it Doesn't Rain

Edward and Jacqueline left the cabin shortly after noon and brought the boat over to Jeremy's where they winterized it and stored it in Jeremy's garage.  It took all afternoon.  About six p.m. Edward and family begin their trip back to Calgary.  Austen had brought a motorcycle.
