Ella getting Ben's tickles:
And now, a kiss!
And a hug:

"Now, we will play!"

At the playground at Harbour View Golf Course:


There were ducks and a heron (maybe?) to watch on the little lake:

Still watchin', hanging out on the railing:

That evening, we went bowling:

Psychedelic, dude!

The kids had so much fun bowling! Ben bowled every one of his frames, and 3 of Ella's (she was too interested in eating her supper to bowl). Mommy won, with a solid 139. Gord came in second at 110. Ben was right behind Gord at 102 - isn't that awesome! He's only 8 points off his daddy! And Ella scored in the high 80s or low 90s...it's the only score I don't seem to remember. But she knocked down at least 3 pins every frame - what a trooper!
And now, this is what we did today:








We'll keep posting pictures of the progress, over the next year probably! It's going to be a step-by-step process, that's for sure!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We are so thankful for the fabulous family and friends we have - we love you all!
