Dolphins and Seals and Whales, oh my!

This summer we treated the kids to seasons' passes at Marine Land! To say they had fun is an understatement. They absolutely loved it! Makayla's favourite part was the rides, she couldn't get enough of them. I think that Nicholas liked the animals the best. All in all it was a ton of fun!

At the Cottage

Makayla and Nicholas were lucky enough to go to Gramma's cottage a few times this summer. They absolutely love it there as there is lots to do outside. Can't wait for next summer!

Soccer Star Makayla

Makayla enjoyed another great season of soccer. She loved having Michael as her soccer coach this year. She is turning into one very strong and feisty soccer player! She is already saying that she can't wait until soccer starts up again in May, she sure does love the game!

Soccer Star Nicholas

This was Nicholas' first year playing soccer. He had a great time and improved as the summer progressed. He is looking forward to playing again next year :)

Makayla's Dance Recital

Makayla had another great year of dance! This year their recital routine was dance to 'Welcome to Rio'. They were absolutely adorable and did a fantastic job on stage!

Hockey Star Nicholas!!

Nicholas recently finished his first session of Mini-Mac, a learn-to-skate program where the kids learn to skate in full hockey gear. Hence, we tell him he is going to 'hockey'. He seemed to have a great time and has really improved since the beginning. Plus he looks too cute in his hockey gear! His last day was this past Monday and the kids all received certificates and medals, of which he is very proud ( and we are sooo proud of him). And something extra special happened when we came out of the dressing room to go home..... Walter Gretzky was waiting to give the kids autographs and take photos with them!! In Brantford, Walter Gretzky is even more famous than his son. He is very involved with the community and really does a lot of good. Supposedly he goes to the ending of all the kids programs to give out autographs and take photos with the kids. It was very cool!

Easter

Makayla and Nicholas had a fabulous Easter! On the Saturday of Easter weekend we had dinner with Grampa, Aunt Ellen & Ruby, and Uncle Tom & Darren. Easter Sunday they woke up and were pleasantly suprised to find that the Easter Bunny had hid eggs all over the house! They also received a basket with lots of treats inside! After church we headed to Grampa's for brunch, it was yummy! Easter Monday we had dinner with Gramma & Grampa, as well as Aunt Lisa, Uncle Luke, Connor & Christopher. The Easter Bunny hid eggs at Gramma's hosue for them to find as well, lucky lucky!
