July!!

We arrived home from Ottawa on July 3rd!  We took our boat #4 to Little Bow with Julie and her kids, it was seeing them again and nice to be out on the boat!  Some other fun things was getting to set up our free trampoline in our backyard...we went to the Stampede twice this year! Both without the kids which is nice because that place is crazy! We first went with Paul and his kids and Jess our sis-in-law was there too.  They convinced me to go on the crazy ride, that goes up super high really slow than drops down ( i cant remember the name of it).  It was crazy, i'm glad i did it, but cant say I'd rush to do it again..lol  Matt and Paul went on an even crazier one that sling shots you around making you go up and down backward, forwards and upside down...that one would of made me pass out for sure!  Matt and I went back on a date night together and walked through the whole Stampede, it was really nice getting to see everything without the heat...we watched this cool horse pull racing...we also went to our church's Pancake Stampede breakfast...kids went for a horse ride together and than played with cousins for the rest of the day.  Before selling our 4th and last boat for the Summer we went boating on Chestermere Lake with the Prince's.  Than off to Tie Lake for the Hill Family week.  We stayed out there for a week and a half.  Matt had to go back to work for 2 days inbetween and that is when he sold boat #4!! :)  What a blessing to be out of debt! Family week was great, the weather was amazing, lots of boating...waterskiing, wakeboarding, wakeskating, barefooting, kneeboarding and tubing! ofcourse tanning and relaxing.  Sister in laws and some neices did workouts together most mornings, I swam across the lake and back a few times, we did the great escape race...thought we lost a few kids in the forest..not so fun...we had a glow stick dance party night, and the always entertaining talent show:) Great Memories! 

 We went home for Matt's 4 days of work, I did non stop lashes during that time and than we were back at the lake for another 4 days:) We went out for Tammy's 40th surprise bday party and spent it with her family.  We are so grateful for Tie Lake and having such an amazing spot to spend time with family.
