WATERTON TRIP PICS

ADULT NEWS #3

We decided last minute, of course to drive down to Waterton Park, AB. We would have gone to the US side, but Lezlie and I still don't have our passports updated. Anyway, we got our things together and left about 1:30pm on Sat. afternoon.

We stayed at Waterton Lake Lodge, a small, but satisfactory facility. We went for a walk around the lake and town once we got there. We had dinner at one of the finer restaurants. Mosquitos were hearty in the evening, so we took a drive and found a beautiful waterfall. We watched a late night movie and called it a night around 1 am.

Sunday, we took a beautiful drive up a windy road to another lake, Cameron Lake. It was so hot with a slight breeze, just enough to keep you cool. We spent about 2 hours there and then headed back home. It was a nice getaway from Calgary. On Monday, we will just spend some quiet family time around Calgary for a walk or drive perhaps.

Cece will post the pics. Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend.

YOUTH & ADOLESCENT...AHHH!!! #3

Cecilia and Harrison did well on this trip. Harrison asked "are we there yet?" only 3 times. Harrison and Daddy rented a rowboat and went on Cameron Lake.
Cecilia took pictures of the wildlife and scenery, of course. This seems to be her specialty on any trip that we go on. She took pics of birds, deer, mountain goats and a little squirrel. There are pics of the Waterton and Cameron Lake. The butterfly pics were taken by Daddy.

BABY NEWS #3

Lezlie Venice was an excellent baby on her first long trip to Waterton, AB. We had a few fussy periods in the car, but otherwise she was quite content. Lezlie didn't sleep very well in the lodge...I think she knew that wasn't her bed!! The water was too cold for her to take a dip, it was like super ice water, but the sun was scorching so she got a new sun hat...a little big, but did the job.

The long weekend...Yeah!!
Sylvin gets Monday off so we can plan to go somewhere, anywhere, but stay home. Hope you all enjoy your long weekend. Get outside and get some sun.

Cecilia has completed her exams and is relieved! Harrison will continue his school work throughout the summer...because he can.

The school will not be re-opening in the fall. We will continue with the home schooling as planned.

BABY NEWS #2

We are counting down the days to when Venice can have her first spoonful of real food. Cecilia and Harrison can't wait to feed her! We bought her a new high chair so she can be part of the dinner table and feel like a big girl. We have 22 days left!!

Sylvin got a new job and is enjoying it so far. A few additional hours here and there, but mostly no Saturdays which is good for us.

I'm still enjoying my days at home, also waiting to get out in the good weather. I want to start an exercise regime - weather, time and children permitting.

Stevie may be joining us again from Trinidad, which will be good.

YOUTH & ADOLESCENT...AHHH!!!

Cece is supposed to be studying for exams and Harry is supposed to be finishing his school work, but both of them are pre-occupied with the nice weather, finally. We went to Prince's Island Park for a leisurely stroll to enjoy the sun. It was cloudy, but warm, Cece was not impressed.

Gifts shall abound if the marks are impressive, otherwise I shall succumb them both to a summer of chores, bread and warm water......whooaaahhhaaaaa!!!!!

Allison Bitu - NEW BLOG

This is my new blog. Cecilia has hounded me to get with the "techno" times so I've decided to try this approach to 'keeping with up appearances' from the confines of my kitchen. I hope I can keep up, so....here it goes.

My first set of pictures in movie format with the help of computer guru, Cece!!
