September 5th, 2011 - 2nd Anniversary Day at Baxter Conservation Area

For our anniversary we like to spend time together as a family.. this year it wasn't a super nice day so decided to go for a walk down at the Baxter Conservation Area. We such a great time, it was a lot of fun.. enjoy the pics from our day..
Campbell found a beech nut and recognized it from home, our driveway this year is full of them. He was very proud of himself for knowing what it was.. :)

Here is Miles having apples for the first time. Does he like them?? who knows from this video.. he does like them now but during this he kept shuddering and screwing his face up..

Here is Campbell at Middle Cove beach throwing rocks into the ocean.. I think he could have done this all day, he liked it so much.

August 22nd, 2011 - Newfoundland Visit Second Week Part 1

August 22nd, 2011 - Went to Middle Cove Beach and then to a park..
Here is us having a snack at Middle Cove Beach..
Campbell, Miles and Nanny - Campbell could barely stop throwing rocks in the ocean long enough for a picture.
Campbell and Nanny went for a walk down the beach and threw some rocks up there.
Campbell at the park.. This park was really cute and had lots of stuff for him to do.. He really liked this horse and kept coming back to it.. He called it "Bullseye".
Campbell climbing up the tail of this dinosaur.

August 13th - 20th, 2011 - Newfoundland Visit Part 2

August 19th, 2011 - Trip to Cape Spear (most easterly point in North America)
It was a great day up there, very little to no wind (very unusual) and we did get to see a couple of whales but nothing really close.
Campbell and Daddy walking up to the old light house...
Campbell trying to pull a surveyors benchmark out of the rock.. He was convinced that he, Daddy or I could pull it out..

Campbell up on Daddy's shoulders on the way back to the car.. A fun time had by all..

August 20th, 2011 - Daddy left this morning very early and we decided to have a quiet day.. The first week of our trip is over.. wow how fast it goes..
Campbell, Cousin Jorja and Aunt Nat's new puppy, Sunny, playing in Nanny's sandbox. Sunny really got into digging and the sand was flying out behind her.. Everyone got a kick out of it.
The kids thought it was so funny that here is Jorja trying out digging like Sunny.
Here is Campbell digging like Sunny. ;)
Jorja pushing Campbell in the swing.
Campbell learned to really like the swing at Nanny's earlier in the week with Daddy.. He was very weary of swings up to that point.

August 13th to 20th, 2011 - Newfoundland Visit Part 1

August 14th, 2011 - Went for a walk up to feed the ducks and go to a park..
Daddy and Campbell feeding the mass number of ducks that were up at the pond..
The ducks are really used to people feeding them, they will even eat right out of your hand if you are brave enough. Campbell wasn't afraid of them but he wasn't really keen on having them eat out of his hand either. ;)
Campbell and Daddy on the see-saw having fun.
Miles, Daddy and Campbell going down the curly slide.
Miles even had fun at the park..
August 17th, 2011 - The boys were Christened. It was a great day and look how good everyone looked.. The boys were super good and looked just too cute for words.. (I am not biased at all)
Daddy and the boys on their big day.
All of us on their big day.. A pretty good looking family.. :)
Their cake with their names on it, thanks to Aunt Heidi for making and decorating the massive and very yummy cake. Didn't think we would get through it all but because it was so good, it didn't stand a chance. ;)
Nanny and the boys..
Campbell and Nat laughing and playing.
Miles with his great-grandmother, Ella.

Throwing rocks - could do it all day.. so much fun.
