Above: Gainer tries out sliding down the railing....
Grace is cooking up a storm in the kitchen... FYI, Robin was in charge of the BBQ. Or was supposed to be. David and Robin got a little misdirected on the highway while taking a quick spin in what turned out to be a rather large downpour and wind storm. You know road signage is bad when someone who LIVES in that city gets lost...
She and Robin fed us like it was Christmas! 8D We had huge steaks and corn on the cob, potatoes, mushrooms, shrimp, mojitos, and even dessert!
Oh right, I forgot about the delicious garlic toast... Robin and David kick back on the deck. The neighbourhood is still getting fixed up, as you can see in the background...
Beer n Garlic Toast... MMmmm... *looks up at the sky* I wonder why it's getting so dark out?
This could be why! We made into Edmonton a few hours before the storm. Quite the gusty wind and pouring rain, as I mentioned earlier...
This is, of course, just before it hit... And the barbecue had some difficulty staying lit in those winds!
Grace's Korean Korner...
This is a view to the livingroom by the front door. I'm standing on the 1st landing, by the Korean Korner. A second landing is upstairs where the loft and the bedrooms are... They have 18 ft high ceilings! Probably in case Robin tries to do jumping jacks or something.
Below: some photos of the CunningHa Couple...
Grace has to stand on something to see eye-to-eye... Or Robin has to crouch... Or if their heads are standing flush with the horizon, Grace probably has to stand two feet further back, though. They're an absolutely fun couple to hang around with!
Grace and Robin: some close-ups...
Well, the above facial expression was when Robin claims he was trying to keep his eyes open from the flash... Although... Where are Grace's hands?? lol
Robin and Grace hanging out with us at Boston Pizza. Gainer enjoyed the Tuscan Pizza!
Thanks for the awesome visit! We already miss you guys! "SPIN me goddamnit, SPIN ME!" Robin gets hooked on the door hinge whilst trying to spin in rap to the boom-boom-boogie...
Here are a lot of short shots (they are easier to download than big long ones) of bits of the fun! Please let me know if I spell names wrong... Or worse, if I give the wrong names! 8O I apologize for my voice which can sometimes be distracting when I am muttering about 'Oh, I thought I was recording, but I was only on standby!' 8P
Again if you have any photos or video you can email me I would love to add them here as well! 8D
Thanks again to Linda and Wayne for hosting that wonderful day! Wayne was great with the kids: they all got chances to drive the tractor, feed and lead Alpacas (even me and Susan had a chance).
That was a lot of work Jodi-Lynn and Donna put into that photo album for Gramma! It's beautiful... Also Gramma surprised her kids with her own gift!

Poor Alex gets Alpaca boogers...
After Wayne tells Tyler and Matt that these particular Alpacas are 'little girls' and they appreciate compliments and being told they are beautiful and that they are doing a good job...
See, now, this isn't easy as it looks, is it!?
Abbie and Alex go for a walk with the Alpacas...
Sean's turn!
Leah's turn to walk with the animals...
We sing Happy Birthday to Gramma!
Linda explains about the book of memories...
Jodi-Lynn gives props and gives the book to Gramma...
Gramma's gift of photos to her children: unbeknownst to everyone (well almost lol) she also created a beautiful photo album and dvd with photos of all the kids...
I'd love it if you could send me some photos in an email that I could also add and give you props for... I just have some video I want to post as well and then I will also lable everyone's names, etc...

Gramma takes her first peek at her Birthday Present: the scrapbook with all her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids...
L-R: Chris, David, Laurel & Paul (in back), Alex in the middle with Abbie in front on her lap, Jodi-Lynn presenting the photo scrapbook to Gramma... Hiding behind Gramma is Matt (I think), Tyler, Luca, Sam, Brandon and Mary...
Another quick pic of Sandi, Jodi-Lynn, Gramma and Matt...

Now THAT'S a beautiful smile! 8D Love you Gramma! X X O O
Me and JL posin'...
Chris hanging out with Dakota....
Traci, Bob and Doris... Aha! Finally got a shot of Traci and Bob! Did I mention Bob just did a tri-athlon .5 iron-man competition and then came out to visit Gramma on her birthday?
Hm... I was worried I might run into some crazy mountain man, but this looks like a relatively sane foothills husband. Ain't he cute? 8D
Alex and Abbie hangin' out...
I had no idea an Alpaca kid was called a Cria...
I was like, okay, how about taking the picture right NOW!?!?
Gainer is such a show-off... He liked watching the Alpacas from a distance but he declined a bare-back ride.
Aaaaw.... BABEEEEEEEE!
Nice of David to get a shot or two of me, as I tend to take all the pictures... lol
It's Brian... I mean Sean.... lol
