The Baurers are Back!

A week ago, we were priviledged to have the Baurer family come for a visit. While we did more than just dirtbike/bike, we do not have any actual pictures of those other activities. Our photographers were one-sided and only took photos of the "important" events! Here are some pictures (with more to follow hopefully) of us biking at Mount Trashmore and Heidelberg. No one got seriously hurt this year, which is an improvement over last year.

Some other activities we did while they were here include: biking to Wellesley for ice cream, poutine, and breakfast; horseback riding in the arena and on the trails; Divine; eating out at Swiss Chalet; 5 pin bowling (with girls beating the guys!!!); watching the Imformant and Smokey and the Bandit (lame to the latter); fence farming; PPG practice; and farrier work. We had a great time and are already looking forward to next year (same time?)

16 Again

Yesterday, Hannah had her 16th birthday party. Even though she turned 16 in May, we were unable to have the actual party until a month later. She had a houseful of her friends from school and church and thankfully it didn't rain during the party. We enjoyed getting to know some of her friends better and also got to play some beach volleyball in the horse arena. After it started to get dark, we headed back to the bush (that would be "woods" for all you Americans) to a neighbor's cabin for a campfire and s'mores. Hannah did a great job preparing for the party and organizing the events. She takes after her Aunt LuAnn, I think!

Eat Mor Chikin'

On our trip to South Carolina, we ate at Chick-fil-a a few times. Since we don't have these in Canada, we thought this was a very good fast food option. On one trip there, we found this car and loved it. Maybe this will be Hannah's wheels someday?

Charleston, SC

The houses were so gorgeous and HUGE.

Beach Fun

Some pictures of our week at Myrtle Beach, SC. We had terrific weather and a very nice condo right on the beach. Couldn't beat the 3 nice (very warm) pools, either. Would go back there anytime.

Sweet Sixteen

Sweet. . .

. . .and sixteen!

Today, 16 years ago, our first little girl was born. She is as sweet today as she was back then! Happy birthday, Hannah, and congrats on getting your driver's license, too.
