CANADA!!

We are in Canada. And it is lovely. We are up for some horse business. Haha. I'm always up for a trip to Barnwell! I'm sure the rest of the fam is very jealous. The only thing that could make it better was if Grandma were here. Hope she gets home soon. We came up to Edmonton today after the horse sale. We even made it to the West Edmonton Mall-- the LARGEST MALL IN NORTH AMERICA! Yeah, anyone jealous? They have every store you could ever imagine. And an indoor amusement park, ice rink, waterpark . . . it is enormous. This was actually my second time at the mall, crazy . . . the last time was probably about 15 years ago. And wouldn't ya know we had to leave Idaho to get some nice weather . . . in CANADA! Seriously. It's been beautiful.

Washington Trip

Last week we were in Washington . . . where Nick did some horse business. (If you can believe that). Haha. Nick worked hard, while the girls and I played and enjoyed the sites of Northwest WA. Nick shod lots of horses (for those of you who don't know what this means, I wouldn't of, he put shoes on them). It was a fun trip to get away! On the way home we even got to stay at the Osborne Resort in Moses Lake . . . it was FABULOUS!

These turkeys were hilarious! This was at Hovander Park.

A huge, neat barn at the park.

Checking out the ocean
Birch Bay . . . Kate loved the rocky beach. She stuck everything in her mouth.

Yep . . . that's a chicken walking on the beach! Funny. Lucy was as confused as the rest of us!

Lucy did a lot of this.

And she loved watching these little guys . . . they were pretty funny. We were supposed to come home with an empty trailer . . . but no. That would be too easy. Instead we brought home two more horses, a pig, and a goat. Yes, crazy I know.

My Old Dress

On Sunday Lucy wore one of my dresses that I wore as a little girl. My Mom saved it in the attic all those years! Lucy has about outgrown it but she always gets lots of comments on it when she wears it to church. As you can tell, she didn't want to cooperate too well . . .
