First day on the job...

.

.

So,

after 2 1/2 years,

the training has finally begun...

. &

it looks like we just might have

two fine

Poop-Scoopers

in the making!
..

And,

Daddy couldn't be happier with

this new found passion of

Adelaide's and Sarah's

;)

.

As always,

the girls made an amazing team!

.

Even Little Emma
got her nose in there to make sure
the girls were learnng all of
the poop-scooping tricks there are to be learned!

& trust me,

there are tricks!

There is a lot to be said for the

"Flick of a wrist" !!
.

& then

there is dear old Diamond...
She gave the girls her full approval,
on a job well done,
by showering them with tons of love like only an old dog can

.
.
Seems to me,

this could be the start of

something beautiful...

.

.

.

I'm hangin' out with my sister

.

.

.

.

Sometimes I wonder what is
going on beween those two...
.

and at other times there's no question...
.

.
.

.

.

.

.

And then there are times

that the

communication

between the girls is

loud and clear...

.

"I love you Sis"
.

Note: Awesome outfits Grandee & Grandad!

.

.

I woke up yesterday morning feeling less than stellar

.

Booked for some meeting in Whitehorse that I'd

been looking forward to,

I called to cancel

:(

NO one needs to have me sneezing on them

from across a boardroom table!

And besides...

It looked like the girls were stuffing up too.

Colds aside,

we still had to get to the big box store for food...

the fridge was empty!

So tired, stiff & sore we headed out the door!

..

& who was waiting for us along the way?

.

This big fella:) His tail was SO yellow!!!

. In fact,

I think we saw five porcupines in total yesterday

They are very cool critters

& SO much bigger than southern ones!!
Adelaide calls them

"Porkingpines"

.

Then there was

"Mummy Moose"

.

She just stood there...
.
...watching us
watching her
:)
.

We wondered if she might have a little one
close by in the brush...
.
.
I'm SO glad that we
went to town,
after all,
there is nothing like your
Yukon Neighbours
to help you feel better
.
.

.

.

.

There is a magic that resides

deep in the eyes of a rescue dog

that has, at long last,

found her loving home.
.

It's been a busy weekend with friends & family!

In fact, up until yesterday,

I thought it had been one of my favourites

on record!

But, today took the cake...

It is Mother's Day

I just happen to be Mum to

THE most two amazing girls

& partner (& wife) to a rather fantastic fella :)

Together they gave me just what I wanted...

a family day & more specifically,

a trip to

Crocus Hill

This is what it looked like!

.

The carpet of purple was endless

and the mountains stunning...

.

.

My family, as always,

was a treat to hang out with

:)

.

.

Hummmmm...

I LOVE Wild Crocuses!

I LOVE my family!

I LOVE being Mum!

.

I think purple

just became my favourite colour!

.

:)

XOXO

.

.

.

It was Sean's Birthday today

& the girls said that he turned

.

"Old & a half"

.

Lucky for us, he was able to take the day off

to play with his three favourite girls

:)

.

We hopped onto our bikes & cycled into town

for our FIRST ever

FitzGerald Family Bike Ride!

Then it was off to the playground...

.

Adelaide's first horse ride

.

In fact...it was our first trip to a playground...

Lots of "firsts" today for the FitzGeralds!

.

There wasn't any shortage of smiles around

the swing set OR the slides!!

The teeter-totter was a hit too!

We could have stayed there ALL day!

I'm thinking that this could be our

new favourite summer hang out!

hummm... come to think of it,

it's my first summer off with my girls!
.

.

And when you get to hang out with your best friends...

it's only that much better

:)

and it's not hard to see that,

these two are definitely best friends

:)

.

and THAT is simply

just AWESOME!!

And it make life completely fun!!

.

As it turned out,

the Glacier View opened for

the first day of the season today...

so it was the perfect place to stop

for a yummy birthday dinner

before cycling home!!
.

& to top it all off,

we went to visit this...

Our new hot vacation spot!

(well new to us)

Our travelling camper trailer!

...

When the girls climbed inside

they took over

like only twin two and a half year olds can!

Look out Dempster & Top Of The World...

here comes the FitzGeralds!

.

.

After a full day of family fun and adventure,

tired, happy and old & a half, we climbed into bed!

What a great day

:)

.

By the way...

according to Sarah Grace

our Mountains are

"BIG AND A HALF"

.

Happy

Old and a half

Daddy

Love

Adelaide, Sarah & Mummy
