Lots of Firsts, Seconds, and GOOD TIMES!!!

While Joel was at Annual Convention for our Church....Corbin and I had a great time with my (Emily) family! We made a lot of great memories! Corbin got to experience a lot of 1st's! Simon taught Corbin how to play the guitar.
Corbin loves it when dogs (or humans) bark, the sound makes him giggle so cute! When we were at the mall, we stopped into a pet shop to see the puppies...thought about getting one until we heard the price! We went to the park, too! It was so fun to watch him giggle in the swing. It was an old swing though, so you could barely here him giggle with the squeaks of the swing!
He got to ride the motorcycle!
Had a blast with Grandma Cathy watching the ducks! (Gotta love Corbin's expression!)
We stopped to smell the roses, watch the ducks, and see the water fountain!
Then we went to the Red River Valley Fair! It was so HOT!!! Corbin seemed to enjoy the carousel here! We ate lots of fair food, played some games, and walked around!
Corbin picked a duck and got a sword! He loves it! He plays with it more than any other toy he owns right now! What a little man!
He got to see the goats in the petting zoo.
Corbin got to experience his 2nd carousel ride at the Prairie Rose. This was a way different ride....faster, louder, and more lights! He was really freaked out!

We also went to the Chahinkapa Zoo! We saw a monkey with a cast!
And some "stupid camels"!
"What's up doc?" Corbin got to try a carrot from Grandpa Don's garden!
Corbin was so good at cleaning up all his messes, he'd dust-bust until the batteries died!
We got to spend a day in Fergus! It was so great to get back there! I miss Fergus so much! We didn't have much time there though, but we tried to make the most of it! We got together with my friend Erin and her 2 boys! They are so cute! We also got over to the Olson's! It was fun to see them, too! Then we went out to eat at the best Mexician, Don Pablo's! We stopped quick at Target (like it's ever a quick trip with me!!!)....and then headed out the Inspiration Point for the Christ Hike! I love it there! Everything in life stops! It is so relaxing! It was great to see all the people I had worked with and knew from Hillcrest and Inspiration Point! It was a great day!


Erin and her little guy
Corbin was really into the vacuum cleaner! He rode it, pushed it, and was such a good helper for Grandma!
Simon and Corbin
Evan and Corbin...just chillin'
And to end the trip, my mom and I and Corbin visited my grandma, Corbin's Great-grandma! It was nice to see her again.
Then, it was time to say good bye! It was hard, but it was nice to know that Joel would be home too! Although I made a few too many long stops, we made it home safe and Joel did too! (I'll be doing his pictures soon.)
Thanks to everyone who allowed us to stop by (or stay for a week)! It was great to see everyone and I can't wait to see you again soon!
