Various Summer Shots

We are all back in Abu Dhabi and excited that fall is in the air - meaning that we have been spending more and more time outside. Lovely. 

Here is the final batch of pictures that were taken over the summer. 


No you can't share my snack.

YUKON!

This summer, I made a spur of the moment decision to fly North and Visit the Hogan's in Whitehorse. What a great decision! Thanks for the fantastic visit guys :) 


So cute

I love Alberta

We borrowed my mum and dad's camper for an excursion to the mountains. It still blows my mind that in a 1 hour drive we can be set up in a beautiful area. The camping trip was a success overall, Neva was pretty excited (understatement) the first night so we didn't get much sleep.  We hiked, threw rocks, had fires, and explored the camper again and again.

First day of rock throwing

Ontario

We had such a fabulous visit with everyone in Ontario. Thanks to G&G Laughlin, and everyone else, for taking such good care of us. Neva LOVED playing with her cousins and still talks about them frequently. The other day she was asking whether Emma and Sarah could ride bikes, and still refers to any tennis ball as a "Ruby ball." 


All the cousins playing on the lawn. Great game of toboggan in the splash pool. 






Bruce had trouble adjusting to the cooler weather ;) 

Story time with Auntie Karny. 



Bathing beauty


Shenanigans at G. Jack's. 


CORN!!


Neva really loved Ruby the puppy but was a little too excited around her so the feeling was not mutual. 




Still daddy's girl and has found a love for popsicles. 


What a place! View from the dock at sunset.
