Summer Time

Well summer has finally arrived and we are trying to take full advantage of it seeing as it won't last too long.  Last weekend I too Emmalyn to the Zoo, we have season passes so we can go as often as we like.  The weather was perfect.  Emmalyn loves the dinasour part so we started off there.

Then we went to see the Giraffs, Hipos, Gorillas.

After that we went to the Conservatory and looked at the flowers and butterflies.  There are so many beautiful colors right now.

It was a wonderful afternoon, and I can't wait to go back again. 

This weekend the Calgary Stampede started and I will post about our adventure there another time.

Beautiful Morning

This morning Emmalyn and I were up bright and early.  The sun is shining and it looks like it is going to be a beautiful day.  We came outside to enjoy the great morning and to setup the desk with our patio furniture.  I just restained our deck so everything was pulled off.  We have a very long deck, it runs the full length of the house, here is a picture of it all set up.

It is great for entertaining and eating outside.



I am also creating a spot to enjoy a simply morning coffee.  I am going to get a little table to put between these two chairs.  

The next thing I need to do is to get a few flowers to brighten things up and then it will be the perfect little spot.   I think we will head over to the garden shop later this morning.  For now I am just enjoying soaking up the sun and relaxing.
