Nephew Visit...

My 11 year old nephew has been visiting for the past couple of weeks. We've stayed pretty busy, although the first week was taken up with Eli's Robot Camp (he made a solar powered dragonfly... so cool!). We've also had quite a lot of rain, which meant that several planned activities, including a trip into the Rockies had to be cancelled.

We did manage several days at the beach...



A day at the Zoo.....



Calaway Park.....







Shakers Fun Centre....



We also managed a day out to the Kananaskis, where we walked, threw rocks in the river, tried to find a picnic site so that we could have a wiener roast and failed (it IS busy on the long weekend)..... so we walked some more.....






In the end, we had a wiener roast at home, followed by a water fight!


We've had a great visit and will be very sad to see Alex go......  I'm driving him to his Mommy on Monday after I take Eli to the airport for his first ever solo flight to see his grandparents... in Juneau Alaska, where he will travel on their boat to Bella Bella, BC and then fly home.... 2.5 weeks later.... that should be a great photo journey......
