We had the joy of having Ruby, Bennett and Miles stay with us for the weekend while Jen and Rick went to Oliver, BC. Rick was signed up for a half iron man triathlon and Jen went with him for a couple of days away together.
On Friday at 2:15 I went and picked up Bennett and Miles from school. It's always such an ego boost! As we're walking to the car Miles yells out to his friends in their passing vehicle 'I'm going to my Grandma's house!', and proceeds to tell me that it's his favourite thing to do is to go to our house. :)
Ruby and Bennett go to Whitecaps soccer skill nights in Abbotsford every Friday night so Ted took them over while Miles and I stayed home.
And of course Gpa took them to the Dairy Queen afterwards! Miles and I had a good time at home doing puzzles and playing Mouse Trap, and of course having some treats of our own.
Saturday morning I did a bit of gardening at Jen and Rick's, adding a bit of colour to their already good-looking front garden...
...while Gpa and Miles went to the Sports Park for Timbits soccer, so cute!

Such intense concentration
Sunday morning Ruby got picked up by her coach to go to her soccer game, while the boys came to church with us. Then Sunday evening we went back to the church for a hot dog and s'more roast, with a bit of soccer playing in the Northview church field before the movie "Emperor's New Groove" came on.

Miles enjoying his slushie. We were watching him dance, 'flossing' to the music in the line up as he waited to get it, so cute!
By eight o'clock the movie was over and we took the kids back home, Rick and Jen had arrived not too long before that, so it was perfect timing. What a great weekend for all, we need to do it more often!
