Saturday was a beautiful clear day. Good time to be outside in the crisp fresh air. We went up Fox Mountain to find a cache for Mike. Then we jumped the fence and barbwire into this field, the boys all wanted to have there picture taken..........hahahaha, Of course I made them, they never want to have their photo taken.
While C was walking further away into the field...I ask L to hold out his hand. This way the result. We all killed ourselves laughing....C had no idea what we were laughing about until I showed him the photo.
This shot of C was before he decided to walk away into the field. He got this Toque/hat on Friday night while we were downtown....it actually suits him. We thought that we might have to retake this shot at a later date , Mike thinks it would be great with a shot gun.
And this one of L. Mike held the reflector for me...yes , we are all blind now. Nothing like burning your retinas out with a silver metallic disc.
And a closer shot.
And this was from last weekend out by Dugan Lake. The cache was called Moose Meadow. Pretty place with cool bullrushes..
Note: only pull bull rushes apart outside in a well ventilated area. The fuzz gets everywhere, and it is hard to get off clothing.
And I sat on the ground to shoot this...yes directly into the sun....do not look directly into the sun...it will also burn out your retinas.
We have had 2 beautiful fall weekends .....until today. Dark and dreary was the forcast ......
AND SNOW!!!! So much for the fall colors. it was pretty while it lasted
This is what happened this morning, it stopped about lunch time. Giving us almost 8 inches.
And this was at 8am , when the boys left for school....in their runners of course.
It looks like it may be a long white winter , if this is how it's starting. On the bright side, tomorrow will be plus 10C....going to build an ark this afternoon...haha 
And a closer shot.

Looking down the lake away from the sun.
Here is C at his archery course, I think this course and the orienteering were the coolest. 
And a few of the boys at free time, they were all well behaved, boys and girls. And they came home dirty and tired. 
So Friday morning, the kids and Mr. Grace load up my van with sleeping bags and gear...and I booked it to town. I had just enough time to come home and shower.... I really needed that. And then I went to school and dropped all the stuff off.....and headed over to watch L play soccer, I made it just as the game started ...I was happy about that.
I was sitting on the ground....a totally different prespective. And this shot...no ball, but I really like the light. It was cold and windy and dark and the sun came out for a minute. L is playing senior soccer and junior right now...but he really enjoys the senior soccer more, He told me it's way more challenging playing with grade 11 and 12's..he's only in grade 9, but he seems to hold his own. Their team won gold on the weekend. 
And a shot of Mike in the yard last night too. A rare occurance. I should do this more often....make you stand there and let me shoot you. You are kinda cute when you don't make stupid faces, no wonder I like you!
And frost on the hood of the van, I like the shadows and the streaks.... 
And frost on the van windshield, with rainbow colored paper behind it....my hands we absolutely frozen...boy is it cold!! 
I have been very lazy about keeping my blog updated, sorry MOM
