It's not often you hear a child utter the phrase, "no more beaches Mama." But that was Elliott both Sunday and Monday of this week. Unfortunately for him, Sunday was a beach day, the fourth in a row, fortunately for him, Monday was a lazy day spent mostly at home. In review, we visited Parlee beach (NB), Emery Leger Shore (NB), Cousin's Shore (PEI) and finally Cabot Park (PEI). We're officially Maritimers.
Friday the kids and I hit a rather quiet, secluded beach and as we approached Kate observed a cottage right at the sand's edge, her comment, "Look Mama, there's a house on the beach. That's a good idea." It is a good idea, why didn't we think of it Kate?
The weekend was spent with Aunty Candace and the cousins trying to beat the 30 degree heat. It was bedtime Friday night when Uncle Cody joined us. The kids ran out unexpectedly and found Carter's birthday present. So instead of bed the four of them went on an adventure with Uncle Papa.

The groupies.
Our little man who so wished he was six and allowed to ride solo. "I
can drive it!" was the Elliott quote from the weekend.
Our six year old.
And they're off.
We had a perfect weekend with stellar, hot weather. Thanks for hosting us Candace. A special congratulations to Uncle Paul who was in Montreal for the weekend competing in his first Tough Mudder, we're especially thrilled you didn't partake in the mohawk ritual.
Our official Calgary count down is on. Mom, Dad, Stella.... three sleeps until this tornado lands.
Love to all,
CAKE
