May 14 - Grandkids stay the Weekend

7 May, 2016
     Mothers Day - This year we were able to spend it with my Mother and also had a beautiful day to boot!  Tony (younger brother) had showed up prior and had brought over some salmon that he had cooked up the day before.  After a visit we (Darlene, TJ, the dogs and I) took Mom for a long walk outside to enjoy the weather.  A couple of days ago we had visited Mom for the first time since we got back and also saw my brother Bob and his wife Wendy who were over to see both their Moms on the weekend.  We also made a trip in on Saturday to catch up with Mom.

      We have been in Chilliwack, BC, for a week now, at Cottonwood RV Park, which is just off the freeway next to Chilliwack. The park is not bad in that it has excellent wifi, clean bathrooms and showers, which do not cost, and easy sites to get into and out of.

There are paved roads throughout although the sites are gravel and somewhat private.  There is a laundry, and hot tub (currently out of service), which is the extent of the amenities. The price is 570/month which is pretty good. We are in site 44 which we had to move to after finding out the last site did not have satellite access due to the trees all around.

      Last Friday we went to Abbotsford and watched Liam (3yrs old) play soccer and then on Sat. we watched Ethan (6 yrs old) play baseball.

      Both boys are involved in sports of all kinds and are quite the going concern.  My daughter Kendra dropped them off for us this Friday so we have them for the weekend, which has turned out to be a LOT of fun!  They totally love TJ and look up to him quite a bit.  They brought their gloves, scooters, and bikes, so the boys have been busy with those.

      Yesterday we took the boys to Mill Lake in Abbotsford for a walk around the park and to see what bugs they could catch. It got windy as the afternoon moved on and we ended up leaving a bit early so we could pick up some hot dog buns for supper.
