Alex Turnes 1 and Vancouver Island

In Campbell River they have wood carving contests, I think in July. They have a park to show some of the work that was done. Here are some of my favorite pieces. Hope you enjoy.

This Eagle was magnificent. The detail was impecable. The fist felt like a real fish. He even smelled like a real fish, well not really.

This is the drift wood piece. It was really cute. The fisherman only caught a mermaid, not the hundreds of clown fish near his bait.

This is Terri with Tara. She is wonderful. She has hosted us several times and we have had a great time getting to know her. She is very close to being considered for a Grandparent backup. My dad taught school when we lived in Grande Cache Alberta.

Three Cookie Monsters.

The Elephant, my favorite. I love how they stained the wood.

Happy Birthday Alex!

My happy baby is now 1 years old. Time really goes by so quickly. And for those of you who have grandchildren, you especially know what I am talking about.

Here are some cute shots down on the beach.

Tara taking care of her baby Kaylee. She will be such a good momma some day.

Here we are playing at the beach while Eric was gone. We had a ward party out there, so I braved the sand with three kids and had a great day.
