Back in Honduras Again

Well my totally awsome summer is now offically over :( sad as that is I am happy to be back in Honduras, TOTALLY EXHAUSTED, but happy to be back. I had a very quick trip, no major delays and got picked up at the airport by Kyle, Amy and Melodee...who were carrying a sign with the name Sabrina....I'll let them try to explain that one lol. They took me for lunch b/c I hadn't really eaten much all day and I was dehydrated from the new rule no liquids or gels on carry on. I had put a little bit of water in my water bottle to drink before getting on the plane...well turned out that I had to do a little chugging before they would let me past the security gate...brutal b/c i could pass the gate and go buy a bottle of water ...brutal!

Neways what an amazing summer I had..and it had the perfect end with Darcie and Keith's wedding. They are in Cuba now enjoying their honeymoon! I will try to upload some pictures for you to feel like you were almost there. I can't really put into words what a special time it was for me to be there all week to help and just hang out together with julia, jord and riley. I have to say we are a pretty fun bunch...and well we looked pretty great too lol...even if none of us could breath lol ;) They were beautiful dress and Darcie was a princess by far!! Darc you and Keith are the cutest couple ever...heheh NEVER CHANGE!! I love you guys.

Ok well too tired to write much more but i'll try to put some pictures up now.

The 3 Lovely Ladies



The cute 2 month married couple from the beginning of the summer. Jordan and Bryan Thompkins and they too are so much fun to hang out with.


We joined Keith's Family explore the flower gardens in Ottawa, and this was a Heidi Timer special...it was taken from a tree brance I tied my camera too!



Offically cutest bride ever!!! Notice the grin..that doesn't change all day hehehe...:D



Julia and I right after the ceremony.



The whole bridle party, yes notice the height difference between the girls and the guys lol, it was quite entertaining.



Best bridal shot ever, we had been sitting very nicely posing for our own pictures when the boys decided to do their own thing. Crazy boys.



Great shot from the tree. Love this picture too.



This is exactly why I love my Darcie...she is just too cute! ...muah



Ah yes and can't put wedding pictures up without a kissy face pictures.

Getting Ready for another long drive

Well my time down here in chi-town, well Gurnee has come quickly to a close. I can't believe how fast it has gone. I'm happy though that I don't have to say goodbye to the Buehrle family just yet b/c I get to drive north with them to Bruce Mines where we will all be together for almost a week :D I do love it when we are all together up there.
neways I wanted to take some time to try to put some more pictures on...random ones of course. Sam is "napping" in his room..aka playing on his bed and Ben is sleeping peacefully behind me. Yes I'm babysitting again today :)
ok here goes..
Random yes I know..but funny still the same. This is an Elpaka for those of you who thought this funny animal was a Lama. My parents neighbours in Bruce Mines raise them. This little guy just won an award so he is in show form right now lol. Julia called him a Dr. Zeus character.



I love this little guy...he has the greatest grin it just melts your heart!



Sam playing in the park...totally awsome parks they have down there.



I ask you "How much cutier can one really get??"



This is Sam's idea of a double stroller. He loves to ride in there...I guess I can't blame him I would have, actually probably did do the same thing.



Dad and I cooking the Planked Salmon on the boat, on Skookum Lake. Maureen took this one..she did a great job Thanks Maureen. (she is our neighbour in Oshawa, for those of you who don't know her).



yummmm a little glipse at what Planked Salmon looks like. Oh man was it ever good.



The Mackinaw Bridge, what an amazing structure it truely is a marvel when you see just how large it really is.



For those of you who haven't been on the Mackinaw Bridge, there is a cool green section in the middle that you can see right through to the water as you drive. Well I wouldn't sugget looking if you are driving, but for passengers its great! Plus it sounds cool to drive on it.



Got to play some ball hockey while in Ottawa with Darcie and Keith. Forgot how much fun it is...



...even with sore wrists. I was done after the 2nd game but a 3rd tie breaker had to be played so thus one more it was. I hope this is not a glimpse of what my sporting life is going to soon be like :( Don't think I'm ready for that just yet!



On of my best fireworks pictures! How awsome is that!



This picture is for Melodee b/c this was a very rough small town group playing Sweet Home Alabama lol...and I thought of you Melodee. I'll call this band Small Town Mullet Mania.



Great picture of Julia, Darcie and me.



Darcie is trying to one up Matthew holding little Zachery at Jordans wedding. I love this picture!

SIX FLAGS GREAT AMERICA!!!















Ok so yes look at me being the post master lately..but I just can't let this occasion pass by without something being said. So yes I FIANLLY got to six flags great america theme park and yes it was totally awsome. THis is the only other theme park I've been too beside Paramount Canada's wonderland and well it is quite awsome too. We hummed and hawwed about going b/c well it was 100 degrees...litereally and so we thought we were going to melt...and we almost did but it was definately worth it. Sam had so much fun, even though it pretty much wiped him out lol. He got on a few rides, played in the water, had late lunch and then Naomi took the boys home for naps while Matt and I headed back in for the rollercoaster fun. We were quite plesantly surprised to find that the lineups (b/c it was dinnertime) were actually short. I think the max we waited was for the SUPERMAN and that was only 20 min. IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT WOW what a ride...so totally felt like you were flying. Sometimes I think I might be a little to trusting in equipment but hey if it fails and i'm having fun well then i'll die happy right? :D
neways I'm going to try uploading some pictures of the day so here goes nothing


This is am on the lady bug ride in tiny toon land.






Sam and I having fun in the water park. Wish you could hear his giggle b/c its GREAT!


Sam and Mommy.














Bens grin and giggle just melts your heart everytime :D


















Sam's first ride expereince - the double decked merry-go-round. He didn't want to get off b/c he loved the horsey.


Sam at the end of the day...think we really tuckered him out, but he was a great trooper.
