Family fun Fredericton trip

Feb 9th we decided to head to fredericton for the weekend to visit Marc and Mel.

We left a day earlier than we thought because Pat had a meeting lined up so we left after we got home from preschool.

We originally intented to stay until sunday but because of a snow storm predicted for saturday night we figured we would have to cut out trip short so the leaving thurs worked out good.

We hit the road around 1.

Whenw e got there we took the kids to chapters to burn off some energy!

We had supper with marc and relaxed, mel was working late!

Friday morning we packed into the car and hit the passport office.

It was perfect time to go , i got in to see a clerk within 5-7 min. and within a few min i knew i had to get his picture redone! thankfully there was a place within walking distance so thats what we did.

The new picture is the one on the left and the reject is the not so great shiney forheaded one on the right.

 So when i got back to the office it had picked up a bit but I was still in and out within 15 min. not to shabby. After getting the passport taken care of we went back to chapters because they had a blast the day before. Weston and I decided to surprise aunt Mel at her work and bring her a present to brighten her day. So we picked our gifts out at chapters and had them wrapped for free there ( super cool ) and off we went to go surprise her.
Marc met us and brought us up to her office. she was surprised and Weston was pumped to see where she worked.
Then we went back to the house and had a little quiet time. nelson napped while i watched shows on Mel's new Ipad. Weston and Pat and Lenon ( who was having a hard time falling alseep because he was over tired) went off to check out equipment. Then when Mel came home she took them to see someone she knows who has a similar business.
Marc bbq'd the best steak I think Ive ever eaten. it was amazing, so much so that Pat ate his whole steak . I was sort of annoyed because i was sure i would get to finish his for him but nope he ate it all. So that means it had to be good!
Then Pat , weston and M&M rushed off to go swimming at a place that had a huge water slide and other things. They didnt have much time but it was prob all Weston could handle.
We got Weston in bed and we all just chilled and chatted!
Up saturday morning had breakfast, and then hit the sledding hill. we had to cut out a few other activites that were planned because of the snow that was planned to start mid day.

 Pat brought their old GT racer sled. so the guys took Weston down for a few runs. Uncle Marc as strong as he is would drag Weston back up on his sled. I went down once with Weston but he wasnt getting no free ride. he helped me pull up the sled. that might of been why shortly after Weston was done! hahaha
it was short lived but fun. We then hit McD's for coffee and muffins aunt Mels treat, before hitting the road. We made it back to the cmap before the snow really started coming down.We decided to stay out in Salisbury because Pat would have to go plowing ealry in the morning. So we spent the afternoon at the camp where Lenon and the boys played, ate  and had fun

Pat and I slept at his parents house whil eth eBoys stayed up at the camp with Nanny and Papa for a sleep over. Weston was pretty pumped to help Papa clean the driveway in the tracker. it was funny every time the tracker would back up we could hear Weston honking the horn . After a while I clued into what he was doing , he was using the horn as a back up peeper ! what a guy

We had a great relaxing family filled weekend! doesnt get much better than that!
