Summer is here!

So I complained a bit because June was a little disappointing in the weather department...

It's hot.
Very hot.
We love it!
Only I don't love it when I am stuck inside with a killer sore throat and a hot wiggly boy.

We took a little trip down to Taber, just Euan and I.
We stayed at my Aunt's house and caught up with some cousins and their kids.
The trip started out a bit rough with a disastrous trip to Waterton and ended with mostly everyone getting a cold, but we had some fun in between! Playing outside and reminiscing about the good ol' days.

Waterton was windy and the first day it rained almost constantly. Me and my cousin Stephanie were tenting it with our two little boys who are about 4 months apart. Putting them to bed at the same time didn't work, Noah just watched while Euan screamed for Mama. So we put Noah down and he fell asleep, just as I was going to put Euan down a huge gust of wind picked up our tent and flipped it over...with Noah still inside. Luckily no one was hurt and we managed to stop the tent blowing away with the little guy inside. We lashed that sucker down more securely and went to bed with the boys since they were a little worked up. Well about an our or two later our tent was basically ripped apart at the seams so we spent the rest of the night in the camper with me, Euan, Stephanie and Noah all in one bed....not the best night sleep I've ever had. A lot of tents were deserted that night.
Oh and there were cougar warnings all over the town, and dire stories of deer being strewn about the campground by said cougars. They even had a golf cart full (and I mean FULL) of border collies that would chase the deer out of the town so the cougars wouldn't be tempted. I spent a whole evening reading up on cougar attacks when I got home. They are sneaky! I'm starting to think bears aren't half bad!

We spent the rest of the week relaxing and letting the boys play outside while we worked on our tans. Euan is such a water baby and would spend all his time immersed in any form of water all day long if he could (all of which are called "bath")

Ok so the pictures aren't really in order, some are instagram/iphone and some are off the camera.
Enjoy!
