Fort Langley with Joy

A couple of weeks ago the kids were talking about Fort Langley and I overheard Kate tell Nathan, "We went with the Csanyi kids one time, but not with their Mommy and Daddy."  "No", he promptly replied, we didn't do that.  "Yes we did, I remember!"  I, sitting in the front seat of the van, was shocked; she remembered that?!  Yes, we had Joy with us, but not Jonathan, and seeing that that was almost two years ago(!), I can see how she could've forgotten some details.  Here are the pictures of the aforementioned occasion, a good chance to reminisce :)


 .... Joy and I had decided to go to Fort Langley before her kids had to start school again (August 9, 2011).

 Hannah and Nathan building a wall to keep Miriam in the 'house' -- you can just see her fingers peeking over the top.  She climbed out right after this :)

The ever-popular blacksmith.  Judah got a hook from him!

Anna

I love that age :)

Playing 'preserve the fish' -- seeing how fast they could get a barrel of fish to another barrel where they 'salted' it

I do like Fort Langley :)  I don't worry (too much) about the kids disappearing on me, because exits are limited,  the place is small, and staff gets to know who belongs to whom really quickly when there are so few visitors!

Nathan in the prow of the boat

Anna climbing -- quite an undertaking at that size! 

Building, very precisely :)

Yay for hills to roll down!

She loved this ... climb right up to the very edge, turn around, then scoot down.  Even I was getting a little freaked out as she attempted to turn around some of those times.

"See Mommy, we could all live together and share a bed!"
