The long weekend

We had a pretty quiet May long weekend. We stuck around home. We had some REALLY nice weather on Sat and Sun.....FINALLY!! But Monday we were back down to 1 or something ridiculous like that.

Anyway, Saturday morning we did the baseball thing. Sam had a game and Seth had a practice at the same time. Trev took Saturday off so we went separate directions that morning. The afternoon was mostly relaxing...I prepared a nice shish kabob barbecue for dinner... but in the midst of that Jude had his lip split open AND Sam decided it would be a good idea to cut his own hair. Aye ya yaye!!

Sam was swinging a bat in the back yard and had moved Jude out of the way and told him to stay....buuuuut, of course, Jude walked right into Sam's path. It bled quite a bit but it was amazing how quickly it healed. By the next morning it was closed and didn't bother him at all.



While I was getting dinner ready, I saw Sam climbing up on the fence....well, apparently he got tree sap (he thought it was glue) in his hair and decided that instead of telling me about it, he would go and just cut it out. I didn't even notice until Trev pointed it out later at the dinner table. I was NOT impressed!!!! We're going for a hair cut after school today.

Isn't that just lovely??? ;) I DID even it out a bit before we went out the next day. LOL! WOW...first time I've dealt with that one.




On Sunday we went out to Drumheller for the day. It's the land of the dinosaurs!!

First we went to see the biggest dinosaur in the world. Very cool. We could have climbed up the inside of it to the top...we told the boys we'd do that next time we go out there.





After that we headed out the the Tyrell Dinosaur Museum. That was pretty amazing. If anyone has a kid that's into dinosaurs...THAT'S the place to visit!!













Then we headed out to cross over a suspended bridge and check out the hoo doos. The boys loved being able to do a bit of climbing and exploring

















I was going to post this last week but never got around to it. I was able to go with Sam on his field trip last Tuesday and we went to Fort Calgary. It's all about the Northwest Mounted Police and how Calgary started up.

At one point the kids all sat on a "train" and role played a story. It was a true story about a convict that escaped the police while being transported on the train. Sam got to play the "convict" role. It was pretty cute..the kids all loved it.

He's seated between the Calgary Chief of Police and a Northwest Mounted Police Officer. :D



Here he is with 4 buddies dressed up as North West Mounted Police.
