I was asked to help my daughter in law for a few days. I have always felt that is what family/grandparents do...they step up and help. This gave me another chance for a flying trip to Alberta.
I does my heart good, when my grand daughter says, "I'm glad you are home", and my grandson says, "I'm keeping you for ever". Then the youngest 2 month old smiles and coos at her grandmother.

James and I had fun playing 'Hot Wheels'. I was using my cell phone to capture Motion.
One of my challenges is taking photographs of people. Aleah loves to pose and show off for the camera. Her cart wheels were amazing to me.... when I was her age... will not say any more.

| Sunset reflection |
I took the kids to the park, and trying to take a group photo... well, I need to do more home work on posing and getting them excited about having their photo taken esp. a teen ager.

| Baking Day (edited) |
Aleah is always spotting neat and interesting items at the park, she found a painted rock.... I told her why it was hidden and that she can keep the rock, or hide it for someone else to find. She kept the rock and both Aleah and James painted rocks when we returned home.
I did some baking, Cinnamon Buns and Butter horns. My son requests them when I come out to visit. The kids were awesome taste testers...and we did manage to freeze a batch for Andrew's Birthday gift.

We were walking around Nose Creek Park, and had notice a duck coming out of the grass, as we were walking along the path, we had noticed the duck... so we pretended that the duck was following Aleah!

| S.A.S Sunday Adult Slurpee |
The ponds and creeks were all frozen pretty solid, you can see people of all ages skating. We did one lap around East Lake Park with the promise of a slurpee after the walk... Yes.. the S.A.S was a hit..... maybe I will give this another try when the weather is +30c!

| Very Tasty |
I love Banana Bread... and I thought instead, I would make cookies out of bananas for the kids lunches.. they were a hit! Putting this recipe in my collection.

| On Board West Jet flight home |
 |
| Landing in Vancouver |
It was time to come home. My visit was longer with the kids having stomache flu... Everyone is on the mend. I was reminded that I was suppose to stay for a very long time... I guess 2 weeks just didn't cut it. But, they know I will return. Grandma Julie always does.
Grandma Julie needs to share her time at home in Prince George, but with other grandkids who are only a West Jet flight away.
So, now I am back... and will be posting on a regular bases once again... or until I get another call to fly....
Thank you for taking a look!
See you very soon.
