Our Summer Holidays

We usually go to Alberta for a week of holidays every summer but we thought it would be a bit much as the twins first log van ride so instead we decided to just visit with family. We made a long weekend & went to Ogema & Lang.

The girls were just so happy to be out of their car seats. They rolled around on the floor and just relaxed. Lauryn just relaxing on Leah. They did really well being "out of routine" and in strange places.

The weather was great for the entire weekend. The kids played at the parks and we "ran into" Nipawin friends who were camping at the Ogema Regional Park. The Anderson's were there for a family reunion.

I had to be in this picture just to get Calleigh in the picture.

Grandma Heiberg doesn't usually let anyone take her picture but here she is with the twins. We had a tea party with her as well as supper before heading out to Stephenson's.

The twins did make strange a bit while we were away which made it hard but did great overall.

The kids heading to do chores with Auntie Berta -

they saw the chickens, kittens, bunnies, horses and a pigeon.

Oh & 2 dogs which Simon is terrified of.

Lauryn enjoyed the swing. The kids jumped on the trampoline, we had a Heiberg potluck supper & a bonfire. What a great place for a holiday. I love going there.

They just bought this swing & put it up that day. Lots of fun. That is as close to a horse that kids need to be.LOL

Tried to get a family picture. It is hard to get all 7 people looking at the camera & looking happy.

Auntie Berta & Calleigh playing with playdough while the boys were watching football.

On the way home we stopped at Wascana Lake in Regina to let the kids play for a bit & it was Simon's idea to take these pictures.

It is always good to go away but it always good to be home.
