Just a few days before we were set to come, a horrific flood ravaged Calgary and surrounding areas. My parents home is fine, but so many people lost so much. Here is a picture of the golf course view out of my parents window right after the flood:
The entire golf course is ruined. The city zoo is gone. Thousands lost their homes. The aftermath is pretty sad, but I'm amazed at how much people are serving and doing everything they can to rebuild.
Nicole and Steve and Zach are also here to visit this week (Trent comes next week!). The cousins have been having so much fun together. Heritage Park on Canada day, swimming at Grandmas, Calaway Park, swimming again at Southland Leisure center for the 4th of July.... and that has just been the past few days.
Aubrey was pretty excited about her first taste of cotton candy.
I'm definitely learning that vacations as an adult are all about making sure your kids have fun. I'm having fun, but I'm so tired.
Between all those amusement parks, the kids have gone on a lot of rides. They love them! I'm glad that I have adventurous girls who love to have fun. Here is how Zach and Aubrey feel about rides....
And here is how they feel when the rides stop...
Cora has been doing alot of this...
We even managed to get a cute picture of all three cousins:
Stampede tomorrow, movie Saturday, my birthday Sunday.... lots more fun in Canada to come. Maybe we will even get a picture of Steven and I?
