As promised, pictures of Avery's birthday

As I mentioned in my last post, Horseback riding was Avery's surprise birthday present from me. It was a HUGE hit. Everyone had a great time. Here are some pics of our adventure.

Meet Caramel, Amber, Eclipse, Montana and Bob!

Avery being given a hand by our guide getting on her horse Amber. Our guide (I can't remember the sweet mans name) was wonderful!!!!! Truly wonderful. He treated Cam and Ave like they were his own and they adored him. This man whistled our entire ride and after every few songs he would whistle "Happy Birthday".

Were all ready to go....well except for Nana who was crappin' her pants just a little.

Good old Nana....she's always up for an adventure.

The trail was breathtaking. Definitely a must do again.

So after about an half an hour of riding we come upon a little rest area. We tied up the horses and then our guide cracked open a bottle of wine for Nana and I and juice for the kids. He got a bonfire started and we all gathered around the fire while he sang "Happy Birthday" to Avery. It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Avery checking out the facilities. I'm pretty sure the wine part was Nana's favourite part of the day. She crapped her pants a lot less after our little pit stop. LOL.

We were all sad to see the ride come to an end. We all had such a good time and can't wait to go back for more. Although I think next time Nana should have a glass of wine BEFORE we head out on our ride. (Sorry for pickin' on ya Nana but you were just too funny!!!!!)

Our guide gave us all a big hug goodbye and sent us on our way. What a great day to be 8.

AVERY turned 8 on Saturday!!!!!

My baby is no longer a baby (well she still is to me...always will be). We had a great birthday weekend! Nana showed up on Friday (which always gets the kids smiling) and was able to celebrate the weekend festivities with up. First we went to see 'Disneys Christmas Carol' on Friday night. I loved it but the kids had a bit of a hard time following it. Saturday morning was Avery's swimming lessons and then Cameron had a hockey game. The BIG party was Saturday night. Avery and a few friends went swimming and then headed back to our house for some birthday cake and a little fun.
Sunday I surprised Avery and took her horseback riding. It was a huge hit. She loved it. I loved it... although my butt is paying for it today...very, very sore. I have a ton of pictures but for some reason the computer is only letting me download one so when it smartin's up I'll post the rest.

This is Avery and Amber. We are heading to Grandma's house on Friday to have a birthday celebration with Grandma, Nanny and Grandpa Gordie. Spoiled kid isn't she!

The kids went Trick-or-Treating with some friends last night. They had a great time dispite the crappy weather and the wind.
