Summer holidays are officially over tonight.... back to the morning routine - oh no!!!
Summer has been ok, really felt wrong without Sebastian with everything we were doing. We didn't do nearly as much as we usually did but I think it was ok with the kids. Isabelle talks constantly about Sebastian and death. Its been 32 1/2 weeks....
Stel's race is just a short 5 sleeps away.... sure hope he is feeling ready!
For the long weekend we took the kids camping out past Princeton in the tiny town of Coalmont on a very rustic forestry campsite... yup a lot more nature than i am used to when camping!!!

exploring the ghost town of granite city

the last full standing building left... Quite interesting for Bentley looking around what is left o f an old city. Saw the very old cemetary and the read about the Madam of the ghost town.

Bentley ding some Gold Panning along the river

Isabelle enjoying some fishing...

Stealing a brownie!!!Up at the Coal Mines

Fossil Hunting up at the mines

They found s whole bunch of fossils - had a great time digging around and finding amazing fossils.

The OMG we are not going to make it down this mountain drive!!!!! It had rained in the night and a bit of the morning and coming down this mountain was quite trecherous!

She LOVES Dirt Biking and Quadding now - we thought she would be scared and not go but wow she couldn't wait to go again!!! She said she is going to ask santa for one, oh no... but a couple days earlier she was going to ask santa for some strawberry shortcake dolls, lol

They found us a new House!!!!

We stopped at Manning Park on our way home, I used to camp with my grandparents there each summer, sure brought back some great memories

the often unseen SMILES!!

It was extremely cold, but we stopped and explored and wondered around anyways!!!
