May Camp

In Brad's second year at Bethany he and a good friend (also a youth pastor at a church in Surrey) got together and organized a youth retreat for May at Green Bay Bible Camp in Westbank. It was a smashing success and since then has been every May long weekend. This year was the sixth May Camp and judging by the smiles from the youth and leaders a great time was had. Carlon got his kicks in too. It wasn't our origonal plan to bring him but if there's one thing I'm learning (very slowly) is that our plans don't always go the way we want. The speaker was great the food good and the weather eventually co-operated. The youth are already counting the days till next year!

family time at Stanley Park

We spent an afternoon at Stanley Park and Carlon had a grand time, making friends, stealing balls and checking out bicycles.

blowing bubbles

I picked up some bubbles the other day. They're a hit! Carlon keeps trying to pick them up off the grass.

there's just something about shoes

Carlon has taken to putting on our shoes. Doesn't matter what kind of shoe and it's usually just one shoe at a time. This time it's my wedding shoe.

I can do it myself... sort of

This is one of those days where I just needed to keep Carlon distracted and out of my hair so I could get some work done. He'd already eaten his full lunch but how does a kid say no to a yogurt cup and his own spoon?

catching up with posts and pics

As you may have guessed I am attempting to catch up on my posting (I had a few complaints) and a little while ago I realized I hadn't snapped any pics of Carlon for a while. This pic is Brad keeping Carlon entertained in the back yard so I can get dinner fixed.

T-rouble

Yes Carlon is sweet and yes Carlon is cute and yesss, Carlon is happy....

He is also trouble... this activity lead to him getting his little fingers on some chocolate covered coffee beans that I was certain were out of his reach.
