Freezing Raspberries

One of the big jobs the kids helped with was freezing many, many raspberries.  More raspberries than fit in the big flash freezer.  It was hilarious watching Cody trying to get the baskets out without cracking his ribs or dumping berries.  :)

New arrival

Absolutely delighted and thankful for the safe arrival of a precious cousin!!!

End of Year Tradition

They might have had celebratory cake and juice after this year's closing program but the kids insisted it wouldn't be right to not end the night at Timmy's.

Boxes

And speaking of boxes if we have anything in abundance during berry season, besides berries, it's boxes! So, Cam and Chelsie got right to work while the boxes were stacking up upstairs.  Welcome to our fort!

School Can't be Done!

And it wasn't quite done yet but all their stuff was already coming home.  So they found themselves some cardboard boxes and made desks to store all their stuff and do some work at.

Snakes

And Leah's trip to the crazy reptile rescue center.  She loved every minute of it.  Anyone surprised? Even snakes, lizards and tarantulas fit in the animal category :)

Hiking




There were plenty of field trips to go on at the end of the year.
Library, Safeway and the Heron Reserve one day and a second gorgeous day at the beach for sand castles with Cara and Cody.
A bee field trip, a wetlands trip and also sand castle day with Cam.
But, selfishly, even with a trip to Fort Langley thrown in, my favorite field trip was Sam's hiking trip.
