doors of Cornwall...

will it ever end....so many holiday photos...

this is when the tide is out at Treveaunce cove in St Aggi...then you can go in the caves...

okay this one is for Grady! he loves animals. These cows were sooo funny never met any like them before. They were so curious in us and just followed us with their eyes. Even though we brought them a yummy treat; they were more interested in us. French Cows! Carrigan wanted to know if they knew french.:)

flowers in Cornwall...

Grady

Grady loved exploring and discovering new things at the sea. Here he is with a mussel shell. He called all shells "snails" from being at Gramma's in Vernon (she has snails in her garden!) Funny how he could be afraid of the sand on his feet but he had no problem picking up shells, jellyfish and seaweed!

park in Plymouth....

my beautiful girls by the sea....

Grady at Chapel Porth....

okay I should have put the camera down and picked him up....but I thought it was cute...he was following me out and didn't realize the tide was coming closer...before long he was splashing and running in the water. Poor Grady everything was sooo new to him...I wish I had the pictures of him walking in the sand the first time; very upset! LOL!

Grady

Just going through my England pictures...came to this one! I just love it. It was on our sunset coastal walk...Grady was filling his pockets with rocks. He is such a boy thru & thru!

Makenna is 7!

My sweet daughter turned 7! Wow! how times flies. We had a little surprise luncheon after the stampede parade for her. She is missing her best friend O who is on her way to Disneyland. We will plan a little girly party when she returns. Grady was so happy to have a birthday. he is next....july 11th....

84th Williams Lake Stampede

We love the stampede...always hit the parade and take in the rodeo...this year the kids loved the rodeo so much we went twice. Here is my Carrigan; dressed for the part!

London, England 2010

We ended our adventures with a couple day stay in London; We went on the London Eye, Tower of London, Harrods, Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace.....We couldn't have done it without our Nana! She was the perfect person to share our adventure with. Thanks for joining us! xoxoxox

Land's End, Cornwall

sunset hike...

For summer solstice evening....me and the children...took a hike along the coastal path to watch the sunset. We chose a grassy patch away from the cliff edge. Grady had fun running around throwing rocks and filling his pockets. While we had a late picnic and watched the sunset. Good times~

Treveaunce Cove; St Agnes

my amazing children...

I don't know if you know...but we have the most amazing children....Makenna, Grady & Carrigan! They were the best travelers. It was such a pleasure to experience the magic of traveling with them. It was great to see England through their eyes! Simple pleasures....from watching the tide come in, to seeing Grady being afraid of the sand, and to trying new treats! Mmmmm pasties, fanta, hula hoops...some of our fav's!) I hope they will always have fond memories of Cornwall and return one day with their children.....

Busy times

            Discovery Preschool class of 2010




check out this amazing class shot from Carrigan preschool class at Discovery Preschool by my friend Leslie. (check out her site at www.leslierowsephotography.com) Her daughter Olivia and my C are best buds...I didn't realize till I got home that Carrigan has her arm around O!:)  They are off to kindergarten together in September. I'm so thankful Carrigan has a great friend for school.
Speaking of friends; Leslie and I are off to Banff in the morning for a fun-filled photography extravaganza! I'm sooo excited...some of my favorite photographers in one spot teaching us! And it's all at the Rimrock Resort in Banff even better! I'm sure I'll have lots of great shots to share when we return. Happy weekend to all!
