Kids playing outside on one of the last nice days in September.
Thanksgiving Weekend!
Uncle Jared and Lucy with the animals at Davidsons.
Lucy taking aunt B for a spin.
We took the kids to Davidson Orchards in Vernon on Thanksgiving Monday. For those of you that have been there, they've added a whole new section for kids that the kids absolutely loved. They had duck races (Jordan and Nathan were super competitive with eachother hence Nathan's deep concentration), hay mazes, tractors and other "farming" things to keep their little bodies busy.

Mom strutted her stuff on a John Deere Trike.
Poor aunt Bee just couldn't get the hang of it:)
I love this picture! The kids had so much fun playing in the hay. And I had so much fun trying to get hay out of their clothes the next day. How do farmers do it?
The three cutest villains I've ever seen.
Lucy just loves animals! Any kind, but especially dogs. She will chase them down and then bark frantically at them in between giggles and screams. Big or little, she loves them all. She had a blast at the petting zoo and expecially loved discovering these little bunnies.
Nathan was so brave and fed these donkeys apple cores right from his hand. Jordan not so much.
Aren't these snake squash the coolest thing ever?
Jordan and Nate with their new adopted parents, I think Nate likes them more than us.
Mom made the most beautiful pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving that I just had to document it!
We were so happy to be able to spend thanksgiving at mom and dad's in Vernon. They are always such wonderful hosts. We had a blast playing killer bunnies, playing Wii and eating delicious food together.
All the ladies at Thanksgiving dinner ready to dig into some pie. Apple pie is one of Jordan and Nathan's favourite desserts. This year, they loved the pumpkin pie too!
Ok, so Thanksgiving weekend, I ran my first 10 Km race in Kelowna. At the end of the summer I decided that I needed a new goal physically so I decided to register for this run. Because of soccer and the gym, I wasn't starting from square one, so it was reasonable to train for 10 km with the 5 weeks that I had. Jared drove with me early Sunday morning down to Kelowna for my run that started at 7:30am. I was so nervous! Primarily because it was a unusually COLD (it was -6 degrees) morning and I wasn't sure how warm I'd be by the time we started. Fortunately I had a great warm up and felt ready to go by the time the run started. I love race atmospheres, the people, the music, everything. There was just over 600 people running so it was a good size! I had such a blast running, Jared made me a killer playlist to listen to! It was a nice flat course through downtown, along the lake and through a couple of neighbourhoods. My goal was to finish at the 50 minute mark but i ended up finishing in 48:40. I was really please and felt that I'd had a pretty good run. It wasn't until after the results had been posted that someone I knew notified me that I was first in my age class females 30-39. I was totally surprised. And also hooked. I think 10 km is a good distance for me. Long enough to be challenging but short enought that you can give just give her.
Mom and Britt are the best! They drove the kids down to see me finish! So happy to see them there!
The kids being brave for the picture, but they were about to freeze to death in this picture! Good thing Grandpa sent some hot chocolate.
