The Allan Family

Dawn, Pieter, Daisy & Gavin

They were our guests for a few nights during the long weekend

Pancakes for breakfast
They brought gifts...mint to make Mojitos (I cannot find mint anywhere close)
and some good ol' Alberta Beef
We enjoyed an afternoon at the Oxbow pool




Dawn & I the morning after the 'Dawn & Starr show'...don't ask

After stopping in Oxbow, they continued on their summer holidays to visit Dawn's family in Ontario.

Cars

It amazes me when I come across these things that the kids do.

Visit from Uncle Terry

We had a surprise visit from Cory's Uncle Terry on the long weekend. He was eager to help out on the roof when he showed up...he has been so helpful over the last year, we appreciate it so much!
The kids and Uncle Terry...and Rocky, his dog
Such a smart dog!

Putting on the Roof

It was alot of prep-work and three hours of craning to get the roof on the house.

Before:
We built trusses into sections on the ground and hired a crane to put them up.


Helpers: Rich & Dad

Todd on the forklift


Cory amazes me everyday during the construction process, here he is landing trusses two storeys up!
Dad & I waiting for orders
