How lucky are we? We headed up to Sandy Lake on Tuesday morning. We had a nice low key day or two before Grampa Claw arrived followed by Jally and Grams and Heather and Doyle. With each arrival, the boys voices grew louder and their energy doubled! It was a busy, busy weekend, but tons of fun. We could not have asked for more glorious weather. A few morning trips helped pass some of the time. We hit Bobcaygeon for new Crocs. A town adventure with Grampa took the boys to the bakery, locks, the boat maker and the park! A trip to the beach before the masses arrived and a quick stop to pick up some water guns (enough for everyone, of course) which allowed for a rather large and messy, I mean wet dock experience. Very Fun!
Lots of time in the paddle boat, Jal's new canoe, some double hose action and catching of caterpillars. What a weekend! Many thanks to everyone for all of their help keeping the boys entertained, interested and safe! Thanks for so many wonderful photos Jal! (I'm so rarely in any photos) xox

Grampa takes the boys out for a row. Not so sure about that sky, but it ended up clearing.

Dave and I pretended to be pirates and chased them in the paddle boat.

We LOVED the splash pad

Even Quinn got into it, eventually

On our way back to the cottage, we saw firefighters and got our picture taken with their truck!

Being Pirates on the lake

Friendly pirates of course!
Me and my boys!

CANADA DAY PARTY at the Buckhorn Community Centre - Q & K climbed to the top and slid down the backside.
The climb... We weren't sure Quinn was going to get up, but he zipped up no problem! Look at that leg reach!

Quinn opted to put his pull up on his head as a party hat rather than for sleeping!

Quinn decided to go up a second time.

Uncle Doyle, Kieran and Quinn have a Canada Day Race. Ready Set Go!

Q-Balls in the lead, but not for long...

Jally's maiden voyage with her new canoe! Maddie decided to chase her!

Dave and I got out for a long ride! Too many cars en route, but beautiful scenery! Hilly terrain, funny, I hadn't noticed that in the car!

Ha! I got you with the backwards, don't know it's coming spray! Mummy 1, Kieran 0
