Discovery Canyon

At the beginning of summer a friend of mine asked if I had ever been to Discovery  Canyon. I had not heard of it so we went up this week and I started playing with the camera.  It is a neat spot with a river thing that you can float on a tube down into a little pond of water.  The deepest spot was no deeper than Shaun's waist.

 There's a smile


 Shaun was not too sure about the river part, this was as close as he got to going down.





 Elyssa I think that you are supposed to ride a tube down

The Candy Parade

Instead of a Santa Claus parade Didsbury only has their Rodeo parade, also known as the candy parade.  There is so much candy given out you have to bring a bag to carry it in.
 Waiting for the parade to start
 It is coming.  The funniest thing that happened was there was a clown in a golf cart and he would stop and run out with some fake flowers and put them in the horse poo and then run back to his cart and get a watering can and then run out and water the flowers

Here we are with some friends of ours, we are going to do this picture every year for as long as we can.  Next year we are also going to do one from tallest to smallest.  We can only do this between May 29 and August 27.  The reason for it is Taylor -9

                                                Elyssa - 7
                                                Ryan - 6

Camping

 We went camping the day after Keisha and Elyssa came home from camp.  This is the second year that a bunch of our friends have gotten together and gone camping.  I took the kids up early on the Friday and we went to the beach.

 Warning:  This could get a little sticky



 Have lots of wipes around when Keisha eats a smore

 Jay got a little sticky too his middle 2 fingers were stuck together.
