Around in August

Here are the boys at the Creative Kids Museum yesterday. Matthew had done a day camp called "Viva Australia!" exploring the music, dance, visual art and theatre of one of our favorite places. He made some crafts including a rainstick and a rock adorned with dot painting. I wonder if somewhere across Australia this summer you'd be able to find a "Viva Canada!" camp!

The guys are working together on the watersprayer at the spraypark in Drumheller after a morning of looking at dinosaurs at the museum.

Matthew is smitten with the IPod, and tries to listen to it whenever he can. Of course at times while listening to it he may try to pull a school bus with the cord. He is truly half way between the teen years and preschool years !

Here is a nice shot of Andrew on the train at Heritage Park. He has become more of a train guy as of late.

Andrew also enjoys all the rides like the swings, the Whip and of course the Ferris Wheel.

Here is Emily at almost 10 months, stuck in the stroller again... some things never change.

Emily has started to be a real crawler now on her hands and knees. After a while she can resort to some commando crawling still, but is doing a big girl crawl for the most part.

Emily's favorite new trick is clapping up a storm. She delights in drawing everyone into the fun and gets quite the chorus going when everyone joins in the clapping with her.

This is likely the last update until after our next holiday, so check in again sometime in the last week of August for more photos.
