A Visit with Nanny and Poppy

We just got back from Nova Scotia yesterday. What a whirlwind couple of weeks! After a two week stay, my cousin, Eva, and her boyfriend, Harm, left to go home to Holland a day after we left to go to Halifax. Scott's beloved Uncle Buster passed away 1 1/2 weeks ago after a somewhat short battle with Lou Gherig's disease(ALS). We flew up to Halifax to be at his parent's side and hopefully bring some love and support into their house. Well I think Brody and Sienna did a very good job of that. Nanny and Poppy were extremely happy to see them...and us of course too! We did get out a little bit as well and visited the Halifax waterfront a few times as well as Lawrencetown Beach and Nanny and Poppy's pool!

Respectfully our hearts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the passing of Uncle Buster, he was a great man and will be greatly missed.

Lawrencetown Beach was windy, but beautiful! There were even some kite-surfers to see. Brody and I took our shoes off and ran across the beach and in the water. We had a nice afternoon here!

Camping

We ventured out on a camping trip last weekend with the tent trailer and my cousin Eva and Harm. We only went two nights, but it was perfect! Good trial run and we'll definitely do this again. Brody had a blast and Sienna was a little angel!! Eva and Harm also enjoyed the mountain fresh air and the nightly smores over the campfire!

Max had a blast too, he got to swim in the pond and run around the forest.

My Dutch Family

My family is here visiting from Holland. We went to Elbow Falls with my cousin Eva and her boyfriend Harm. It was awesome! Sienna in the snugli and Brody in the backpack! It is so beautiful up there, it's always nice to visit. Then we had my aunt and uncle come over in the evening with my parents and Ralph and Hayden (Kara unfortunately had to work). A bunch of us got in the hot tub with some drinks...it was a blast! Even the boys got to come in the hot tub for the first time!!
