The Cowboy

 There is the Cowboy in all of us, but when you are dressed like one, you become, "The Dude"  I love the cowboy hat with the crocs!  One of the playdates Daniel enjoys is going to the park in the schoolyard at the end of his street.  There, one will find a car, complete with steering wheels for all, a couple of slides and steps to raised platforms and lots of sand.  We love to take him here for some fun and he loves to play with us there as well.  He was a little reluctant to try the slide at first, and rode down on my lap, but now he doesn't need Grandma anymore.  He can do it himself!

Here the fashionitsa is showing off his crown that he twisted together out of twist ties.  We took his daddy out to the Burger Bar for his birthday and our final night in Edmonton before hitting the road for ON.  A fun night, but one which he realized how much he will miss us in the next six months.  He was upset and sad...can we keep doing this, leaving him behind???  Not sure about that, but I do know for sure that we don't want to winter in bone chilling Edmonton anytime soon!
