Weekend away!

My girlfriend, Meg called me early last week to invite me to her place in Palm Springs for the weekend. Her husband was sending us on his plane, so I didn't have to worry about airfare. Of course I said "YES"!
Friday morning we drove to the airport and this is what was waiting for us.

It seems a bit excessive and over-the-top for just the two of us. But I enjoyed every minute of it. I was completely spoiled.

Meg and I boarding the aircraft.

Our catered breakfast of fine cheese, fruit and crackers.



On our way out to dinner.

The view from Meg's pool. It was a good 35 degrees the whole weekend! HOT! We just laid by the pool the whole day then went out to eat at night. We caught a movie and ate a ton of "Golden Spoon" with dried bananas. Yummmmm.

One last look at our transportation. What a great weekend! I could get use to that lifestyle for sure!

Fall stuff

Last week when the weather was so great, we tried to get a couple shots of all four of us together. Unfortunately, it was impossible to get Ash and Charlie to sit still. It was "too bright"! Arghhh. Anyway, I snapped a couple of everyone else.


This is as close as Charlie will allow Ashley to get to him.

Then we headed out to the Calgary Corn Maze. Laura and Chris and the girls were out there too. It was a lot of fun. Charlie really enjoyed the maze. He and his buddies took off and somehow ended up getting out before us.





These were the prettiest birds. You cant tell here, but they had red markings on them. They kept taking off and settling in the corn fields. It was really pretty.
On another note, I'm having difficulty changing my template here. For some reason I can't change from the classic template button to the layout button. Does that make sense? I may have to start again with a whole new blog, but I don't want to. I need help! Does anybody have any ideas on how I can get this going?
