Meeting Austin For the first time .My girlfriend Bryanna's first baby ...so happy for them....

Austin was 6lbs 13 oz . And was very close to being born at home or in the car drive to the hospital. But made it just in time...wooo. That was close ;)

We decided to park at the River rock Casino and go for a ride on the new train that take you all the way to the Waterfront. We have never taken Ella into Downtown Vancouver and had a nice day together. So, we became tourists and went to some of the land makers of the city. Had lunch at the famous White spot( famous b/c Dave loves Triple O's). And even saw the Gastown clock steam. It was nice to get Ella out of her own environment and into a different one to explore in.

It's amazing that we could do all that in just a half a day, when it would of taken us forever to get there and back. It only took us 20 Minute's to get on the train and back to our car in Richmond. It was so impressing and so happy we have it. Looking forward to the next trip!

Agian, you want to go on again............OK!

I truly can't believe it's September already. Since the move we've been so busy with getting organized and having fun to. We have been camping with the Praks/Goodwin family in Washington's "Lake Goodwin". Yup that's the real name and that's why we go there..hee! It's a beautiful Lake with amazing lake shore homes and the water in so crystal clear. Dave's uncle Dave was there with the boat again and we all got some great water skiing and tubing done. The kids loved the sandy beach and swimming in the water. Ella went on her first ever boat ride and she loved watching Nana water ski (what a cool Nana she is). The camp fires every night were so relazing after a hot day in the sun. The food of course was to die for as usual. And on the way home we did our Fall shopping (Kohl's, Target, Costco) I love shopping in the states, so much fun :) So here are some photos of the big camping weekend, enjoy!
