So we went on a 10-day vacation to San Francisco from October 15-24 to escape the cold Calgary fall. We had an awesome, relaxing time. We did a bunch of typical tourist things...we'll post more pics in a Picasa album soon!
Cottage 2008
Jay was able to arrange a month elective at the cottage this past summer (called research and web design...pretty impressive!) We had a fabulous time and Ethan enjoyed many firsts.....his first dunk in the lake, first ride in a kayak, first hike on the Bruce, first swing in the hammock and the list goes on! Check out the Picasa Album for more firsts!!!
Assiniboine Trip
In July we spent five days in the back-country with a bunch of friends. It was the first time mom left Ethan with the grandparents!! We hiked in 28 km to Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, and Mount Assiniboine is the large mountain you see in the background of these pics. We stayed in some very small rustic log cabins and did some day hikes in the area. We then flew out by helicopter!
Two Jack Camping
Ethan's first camping trip in Banff National Park! He slept between us in the tent and and hogged most of the air mattress. We hiked up Sulphur Mountain and road the gondola down, spent an afternoon by Two Jack Lake, and of course had several camp fires!
The end of 4 months...
So, it's hard to believe that in a couple days (April 28th) Ethan will be 5 months old!!! I thought we would get a few more photos on the blog while he was still 4 months.
Most of these photos were taken by our very talented friend and honorary Aunt, Heather!! It's hard to believe that last Friday we were hanging out on Heather's porch soaking up the sun...we are now back into a Winter wonderland :( Wishing the sun would come out and play :)
The Green family :)
Aunt Heather and the boyz!

Ethan's newest favourite past-time, his Jolly Jumper!

After getting his 4 month shots, Ethan and his mom took off to Waterloo for a visit. Unfortunately, these shots affected the little guy way more than his 2 month shots and we had a rough start to our visit followed by everyone (Mom, Ethan, Grandma McC and Aunt Sarah) but Grandpa McC getting sick...boo:(
However, we made the best of it and still had lots of fun visiting with family and friends:)
Gran and Gramps McC
(apparently Ethan will decide one day whether it's Gran and Gramps or Grandma and Grandpa)
Aunt Sarah with Ethan
"Aunt" Christine (we've been friends since grade 2!)
Grandpa McC was the only one who avoided the plague and thus spent many hours hanging with his grandson
(which his mom appreciated immensely!)
Aunt Sarah loved taking Ethan for walks in the Baby Bjorn
(notice the matching hoodies...Aunt Sarah gave Ethan a Roots sweatshirt which he wears proudly!)

Uncle Adam

Grandma and Grandpa Green
Oh so cozy next to Aunt Sarah!
