Our trip

Laura's Visit with Rebecca

This is Laura's friend Barbie...uh, Rebecca here for the weekend from Edmonton.

Jessica & Aysia also joined in for the reunion.

Laura and Rebecca

Laura's good friend from Edmonton is in Moose Jaw this weekend for a visit. She's over here as we speak and a few other girls are coming too! So watch this video, turn your head sideways, and enjoy the Mexican Barbie routine!!

Daddy and Laura decided to go watch and participate in the twice yearly catching of the chickens on the Thoroughgood farm.

There were over 175 of them. Laura was scared at first and wouldn't go in. Then she'd take a chicken already caught, then she got brave and actually grabbed one on her own. She would get one each time, Daddy would get two, and Paul the farmer would nab 3 without even blinking. It was fun, I wish I'd taken more than this picture, but at least I got this one shot of Laura.

Within 12 hours these chickens were in for the "whacked and sacked" treatment, according to Paul. If you look closely you can see the crates behind Laura, where 6 chickens each went in to await their fate. The place they go to is actually just across the highway where Briercrest College and Seminary is, appropriately named "Cluck 'n Pluck". I won't describe the process here, it made my stomach turn the first time I heard it.

Andrew's 7th Birthday Party

Lorna was kind enough to invite us to her place for Andrew's Birthday party. This is also the place where Laura tried the waterskiing.

At the Blue Jays game

The pictures not the best but this is the kids running the bases after a convincing win versus David Wells and the Red Sox in April 2005.

A tour of our house

Laura takes us on a tour of our house. She's wearing her Cornerstone Christian School t-shirt. After putting some video's on our blog she wanted to be in one a little more than she had been!! A budding star.

Although I did have some success, none came on this shot, oh well!! This is out on a farm in September.
