SAIT's Aero Centre

I met several fabulous faculty and administrators during my 2-week training course at SAIT in early August.  One of my colleagues teaches Aircraft Maintenance at SAIT's Aero Centre campus near the Calgary airport. He said he'd be happy to give me and the kids a tour!

This yellow plane is from WWII:


Our host seriously reminds me of my brother-in-law, Kyle Elliott!



Averi's salute:






Helicopters, too!



We had lots of fun and learned lots of new stuff!

Thanks, Steve!!

Averi's 6th Birthday

For Averi's 6th birthday (last Saturday), we went to Calaway Park. None of the pictures turned out very well but here's a video.



Shawn and I can't ride that thing but the kids love it!

Averi also had a friend sleepover the Friday night (Kaitlyn H).

On the Sunday, we had family over for cake and ice cream.


I used fruit to hide the mess I made of the cake. Averi wanted the ladybug-shaped cake pan but it did not like me.


My sweet baby!

Omi Sleepovers: Ella

I was most nervous about Ella's visit to Omi's house. Apparently, she was just fine. She does well as an only child, but then, who doesn't?



I was so sad that we left our portion of streusselkuchen at Grandma's!

Omi Sleepovers: Averi

While we were in Victoria, Omi wanted to have each of the grandkids over for a sleepover. Averi went first: June 30 - July 1.
