We just finished a 2 week camping holiday!! Our first destination was Falcon Lake with the Hildebrand family! Our campsites had a great area in the middle filled with tall evergreen trees. The kids quickly claimed this as their secret hide-away a fort was quickly constructed using skipping ropes and whatever else they could find!
Mini - golf was a big hit with the kids! After completing 18 holes they were ready to start over again - far too hot!! Mackenzie caught on to the whole golfing idea fairly quickly - Cole & Carter on the other hand needed to be reminded at every hole that we were not playing hockey!!
Bike riding was a popular pastime for the kids and they made many trips around the bay!
Boogie boarding was also a great hit - especially if Mom or Tracey was pulling them along! We had great beach weather and were at the beach every day!
Surfer dudes and dudette!!
Cole, Mackenzie, Carter, Tracey & I ventured out on a hour horseback trail ride. Mackenzie was big enough to ride her own horse - Secret - all by herself! She was very proud and did a great job!
Cole and I ventured out on Chiliwak! Cole has OK for about the first half hour and then he had to go PEE!!! So we ended up stopping the whole ride so Cole could go to the bathroom! Unfortunatly he still wasn't very comfortable - I think he felt squished in the saddle! Oh well maybe next time!
Jody & Tracey brought their boat along and so going boating in the evening was a great activity! The kids brought along their fishing rods - although no fish were caught!
Elroy decided to jump in and cool off while the kids were fishing! It didn't take long and all of the kids were in the water along side of him! They had a blast - even though they were swimming in 40 feet of water!
Taking turns driving the boat!
Best buds on the beach!
Mackenzie was brave enough to also try tubing behind the boat! She had such a great time that she went twice- once with Mom and once with Dad!
The great turtle Crush was created out of the sand! Elroy seems to have a knack for sand sculptures these days!
Here they are together for the first time ever - KATE'S KIDS! This was the first time that all of Grandma Kate's grandkids were together in one place! It didn't take long for everyone to get to know each other and they all had a great time! You could easily recognize many Friesen traits passed down once again!
Thanks Curt for taking everyone for combine rides! The kids had a great time riding on the fields!
Mackenzie & the infamous Uncle Dieter! Mackenzie lost another tooth during the weekend and Uncle Dieter was quick to fill her pockets with a twoonie! 
We took all of the great grand kids on a trip to the sand dunes! Somehow Auntie Jaime ended up beind buried in sand by Matthew, Cole, Hizee and Zico!
Time to dance again! Mackenzie and Zam tore up the dance floor all the way till 11:00!
Hizee and Cole get in on the action!
Curtis & Giselle's first dance!
Here it is - the Jeffrey Campground - complete with electricity!
For some reason these pictures are a little mixed up - anyway here we are on our way to the dunes!
Going for quad rides was a big hit! The big question of the weekend which quad is better - Arctic Cat or Honda?
Cole always seems to find the babies in the crowd! Here he is with the youngest Friesen cousin - Cohen 11 weeks- talking & playing!
Here we are back at the dance again!
Grandpa and two little monkeys!
Zico had a great time crawling around on the dance floor!
