Morgan Week

Our last week of vacation was spent with the Morgan side of the family in Didsbury. Before we left Lloyd we stopped at the Parkinson's new home for a tour and one last look at Correna pregnant:)
Alise drove us down to Didsbury and stayed the night - we took some pics in a very pretty Canola field.
The Monday of our week inthe Dids we headed to the Calgary Zoo - love the ZOO!! (you may notice that something is missing from all of these pictures - Nathan couldn't make it up to Canada - he had to stay and work - he was missed!)
Here we are hiking Johnston Canyon in Banff - it was a lovely hike.
Mom and Dad doing a little caving by some waterfalls.
The end result of the hike.
Group shot...minus Nathan!
Dayla and Trish came up for supper one night - here we are playing a little pre-supper Dutch Blitz.
We were also able to see Morgan and Nikki - we picked them up for the Calgary airport post 6 weeks of traveling. It was nice to see them...we miss them living just around the corner from us!
It was Rebecca's birthday while we were in Didsbury - we celebrated with ice-cream cake!
We finished our week with a brief glimpse into Mom and Dad's trip to Turkey. The scarf I'm wearing is my souvenir from Turkey - it's beautiful!

Kaminski Week

We spent the next week of summer with the Kaminski side of the family. We traveled lots, visited lots and relaxed lots!

We had a get together in Outlook with family - below is Dan , Matt and I with Grandma Akre.
Good times at the cabin!
Sunsets in Sask - there is NOTHING in the world like them!
Our last time together before Africa.
We ended the weeks visit with a BFF reunion in Lloyd - love these girls!

Southridge Bible Camp

After my week at Green Bay, Matt and I headed to Sask. to spend a week at Southridge Bible Camp! We love camp - it was fun to go and serve at a camp that has directly influenced both our lives! We worked with a GREAT staff!!! Matt was camp speaker and did a FANTASTIC job!!! I worked as camp nurse and helped out wherever needed.
Matt used lots of practical illustrations in his speaking. Below was his talk on crossing the Jordan River.
Matt as Jesus and I was a Pharisee.
This was the camp wheels for the week. Below is Aubree, Correna, Baby P and myself probably up to no good:)
The wonderful staff we were privileged to work with!

Nursing at Green Bay

I spent my first week of holidays back at Green Bay Bible Camp, but this time I was in the role of a nurse. It was a very fun week - so fun that I only took two pics of the whole week:)

My friend Tammy (whom I worked with at Kelowna General) came for a visit - so good to see her!
I got to spend some time with my good friend Jenn!!! Here we are finding 'treats' as we were cleaning out the nurses supply closet.
