These were the most friendly horses. Ben was so excited to be so close....he even petted it. 

Ben just loves to play in and smell flowers. 

CIBC Run for the Cure

Well I have started training.... Today was the start of our corporate training for the CIBC Run for the Cure. We only ran for 30 minutes and I made it without a break!!!! I was a little worried but having now seen who else is on the team I think I should be okay.... no offence. For those of you who don't know I am running this with TD's Prairie Region Team on October 1. If you are interested in sposoring me just go to www.cibcrunforthecure.com and click on Donate to a Participant, then you just enter my name and put how much you want to give. It goes to a great cause....my goal is $500 and I could definately use your help.

Camping

Well we went on our first camping trip of the summer as a family. The days were great! Ben had so much fun playing in the water, the sand and generally just being outside. The nights were a much different story (or should I say night). Ben thinks the tent is a giant jungle gym. He was much too excited to sleep and Matt and I maybe got two hours ourselves. I was too exhausted the second day to do another night like that so at the end of it Ben and I headed home. We haven't given up on camping just yet though, we will definately try again. (I didn't have my camera so thanks to Shanna for the pictures, my family will enjoy them :)

One of the best pics of Ben in a while. He even has his own camping chair! 

Ben had a great time playing the mud. We even made him a mudslide into the water. 

Sarah and I relaxing in the afternoon. 

Everyone but Ben and I went for a hike in the hoodoos. It was too hot in the afternoon for Ben to be in the sun. He took a nap in the shade instead.
