Day 240 - 2010

We decided to do our trip home in 2 days instead of the usual one. We had a good trip to White River and took our traditional photo with Winnie the Pooh. We kept going to stay overnight in Wawa.

Day 239 - 2010

Back to the beach. We got a large beach umbrella when we were in town yesterday to help with the shade for Mitchell and as long as the wind didn't blow it down the beach it was a great set-up. Again, we are loving the beach this year.

Day 236 - 2010

Dunes and waterways and lots of rocks to do so. It is so neat to see two kids who see each other a few days a year just pick up and play together as if time has not passed at all. It reminds me of when I used to do the same with his mother.

Day 235 - 2010

Mitchell seems to have an affection for things that are red. We didn't think to bring our highchair so we sufficed with the bumbo chair - and a number of accessories. Little did we know that cans of coke and the ketchup bottle would be all he wanted!

Day 233 - 2010

Marlee was really beginning to get the hang of the whole frisbee game. The three of them had a great time doing lots of 'diving'. Well, maybe not Drew so much!

Day 231 - 2010

Mitchell became VERY attached to the light saber the kids got. So much so that he screamed any time anyone tried to take it away from him (because yes -it isn't the most appropriate toy for a child of his age!)

Day 230 - 2010

I love the view of the approaching sunset through the trees.

Day 229 - 2010

With the beach the way it is, Matthew is all about the camp fire. It has become a daily obsession, that is only waylayed by the wind.

Day 228 - 2010

Mitchell is having no problem adapting to life at camp. He is such an easy-going little guy!

Day 227 - 2010

The water is down really low this year. Normally the end of the dock is over Drew's head. It is nice for playing and for cleaning up the beach though.

Day 226 - 2010

We held a memorial service for Aunt Elsie out at camp, with us sharing our memories of her.

Day 205 - 2010

Enjoying time away as a family at the J's cottage.

Day 159 - 2010

We finished a fun morning at GWL, had Wendy's for lunch and then got a gorgeous view of Niagara Falls. The kids were suitably impressed. I can't beleive how much more developed it is since I last saw it [15 years ago].

Day 158 - 2010

One of the days activities at Great Wolf Lodge was a rousing game of mini golf. I watched and nursed while everyone had a QUICK game!

Day 157 - 2010

Our first day at Great Wolf Lodge and the kids were very impressed. Poor Drew was on supervision as I sat behind with Mitchell.

Day 66 - 2010

We each had to have another Beaver Tail (our second of the weekend) before we left - even though they were $5 each! Scrumptious!

Day 64 - 2010

The game Trouble was a huge hit in our down time and when they were ready to hit the slopes? They had an amazing time. More details will be here.

Day 63 - 2010

We began our 7 hour car trip to Tremblant today. Marlee has become quite adept at making herself comfortable and ready to go. She was the first one ready this morning - and look - drink + music + pillow = comfort!

Day 5 - 2010

We finally got most of the Christmas decorations put away (well boxed up) - we just have the tree to go!

Day 249 - Sunday, September 6, 2009

Close up time at the cottage. Sad to see it go and blessings for a safe return next year.

We stopped at Agawa Trading Post for a pit stop and Marlee wanted pictures with all of the "creatures" and "people" around the place. Matt and Cierra soon caught on and wanted photos of them all as well.
