A visit from 2 old ladies

Mom and Grandma paid us a visit from September 21 to September 30th. From Sept. 22nd to the 24th were on their own with 4 of the kids while Meredith and I went to Calgary for her first doctors appointment at the Alberta Children's Hospital. So after making them work (o.k run) after kids for almost a full 3 days we had some fun, too. Like beer drinking before noon and cavorting with big, hairy, Canadian men. HaHa!!

Mom wanted to go back to Millenium Park to take some pictures again this year. This is one that I got when we were there.
Last year when they came to visit we went to the new local winery, The Skimmerhorn. This year it was the brewery. We are the only place that this kind of beer is made (Kokanee beer, and there are others). The tour was real interesting. After the tour there were free samples so Mom had one, and Grandma, being the rebel that she is :) had a sip of beer...before noon! So after the beer drinking ;) we went outside and took pictures. The cutouts are the Sasquatch, the Ranger (who was killed off by the voting masses) and the beer dog. Check out the website: http://www.crestonbc.com/kokanee/

I've seen many people taking obscene pictures with the Sasquatch. So here are Mom and Grandma being groped by their big, hairy, Canadian man.

While Grandma and Great Grandma were here we decided to celebrate Vincent's birthday a little early.

Great Grandma cuddling with Cat and Vincent. Mom dressed her dog Baily in shirt...isn't it cute? Mozart and Baily got along quite well. They would wrestle and play every morning. Can you figure out who won this battle?

Pictures of our church from the inside and the outside. Can you believe how blue the sky was that morning?
Sunday afternoon we went to a Tea Garden in Canyon owned by two gentlemen that also have a bed and breakfast and a hair salon. We each ordered a different goody and took a bite of each. I had lemon sponge cake, Grandma had fresh peach flan, and Mom had scone and devon cream with fresh (huge) blackberries. The tea was exceptional, too. Grandma and I shared a pot of English Toffee and Mom had a pot of something else (long complicated name) that had a real smokey smell to it. It was a beautiful day in a beautiful garden.
