Autumn Pictures

Our neighbour has a beautiful maple tree in his yard and I have taken annual photos of Camden by it.  This was a challenging year as Camden was not in the mood for pictures or for staying still.

I did get a few nice shots.....

.....and then, I took this one :)

A surprise visit

I had the surprise of my life when my best friend Lisa showed up at my office on Friday, Oct 3.  I had no idea she and Pam had been working on this surprise for more than a month.  What a reaction!

After five years, this hug was long overdue

Once I was able to get my crying under control, we headed out for lunch at a local seafood restaurant called Catch 22.  I have never been there before but it was amazing.  I loved everything and the service was excellent.

After lunch we headed for home.  Lisa and Pam booked a room at a local B&B (Innisfree) and stopped there to check in and freshen up.  Then it was on to my house to meet Camden.

The next day we went to the Dieppe Farmers Market and indulged in some waffles.  Cam ate his plain.  I had nutella, mixed fruit and whipped cream on mine.  Lisa had maple syrup and whipped cream on hers.  Pam decided on nutella and fruit as well.

From the Market we caught up with Cathy and took the drive to the Hopewell Rocks, which is about 5 minutes from my house.  The rain stopped in time for us to enjoy a walk on the ocean floor (and a climb around the playground).

Camden lead us all the way down the trail and waved to    

everyone who crossed our path.

Looking up from the ocean floor to where Pam was standing on the steps.

Lisa, meet Cathy.  Cathy, meet Lisa.

BFF

Hold this for me Mum-Mum!

It seemed we walked forever, but the beach stretched on and the weather was great.  Such a nice day.  After the Rocks we drove to Alma for dinner.

There are a few restaurants to choose from, but we stopped in to the Alma Boathouse Restaurant and all of us are glad we did.  The food was incredible and well priced.  Yummy!

Dancing down the street

Pam, Lisa and Camden

Cam wanted to wear my glasses.  My cutie pie!

Sadly, after this meal our visit was over.  Lisa and Pam dropped us off at home and went back to the B&B for sleep before their very early flight home.

What a wonderful visit!

On Sunday, because our pass to the Hopewell Rocks was good for two days, Camden and I went back to see the tide when it was in.  We got there about 40 minutes after high tide and it was already going down.

We thought we would stay dry standing on the steps here because the waves were not very high.  We were wrong, just after this picture was taken a large wave came up and got Cam in the face and my jeans were soaked.  He laughed and thought it was funny.  Silly boy!

Two videos....one from above and one on the steps down below.

 

Touch a Truck Event - Year 2

I am sure most little boys love trucks and tractors and Camden is not an exception to this.   This is the second time Touch a Truck has been in Moncton and Cam loved it.

The cement truck is one of Camden's favourites!

Having a very serious conversation with the crew on the "hockey pockey".

Wrestlemania

Camden loves to wrestle with his Daddy and here is the proof!  Poor Ron.

"Right in the chops"

"Boobie Pinch"

"Bum Drop" 

Did you catch the "dumbass" in the last video?  No? Good!  Haha.  

Music Man

Camden has a plethora of musical instruments (real and toy) to play with and use.  It is our  hope he will choose one as a favourite and we can then enroll him in lessons.

Here he is using a few of them for our entertainment.

Dancing King?

Camden has requested one of these games for Christmas. 

Thanks for dancing with him Aaliyah!
