THE FITZ BOYZ: October 2010

MIMICS!

One rainy afternoon we took the boys in to Bracebridge to kill some time, wander the strip and get off the island. As the rain poured down, we ran into a greasy spoon, it seemed like a good place to get dry and grab a bite. As we were just finishing up, Kieran grabbed his straw, started chewing on it and said "look, I'm Grampa Claw." Amazing to see the habits kids observe and pick up after spending a week with people. And we wonder why kids turn out to be so much like their parents??? Qball immediately followed suit! (see below)

MUSKOKA MADNESS!

After landing in Toronto from France, our laundry room had a solid workout, we attended a Sunday morning birthday party and with less than 24 hours in the city, we had unpacked, repacked and were gone again! We headed up to Muskoka for a week at the cottage which was a glorious way to reconnect after being apart from our boys for a little more than a week. Uncle Connor was the bonus as he was living at the cottage all summer while helping build a bit boat house across the way. Pete was the double bonus as he joined us for our final few days on the island. Fun times!

So happy to be hanging with Uncle Connor!

Don't fall!

Slack Liner Extraordinaire! How does he do that?

Learning how to balance on the slack line. Good thing Uncle Connor is there to catch you K-Man!

Upside down nephews!

2 Baby frogs!

These marshmallows are delish!

Pete came to visit. Nobody was more thrilled than QBall!!!

This cottage stuff is exhausting! A midday nap in the boat!

Uncle Connor and Qball go for an evening paddle in "banana".

A very windy day deserves a good kite! Nice work Kieran!

Cheese!

Zaph is still kick'n and loving life at the cottage. Zaph managed to log more cottage time than anyone else in the family this summer. Thanks Connor for looking after him while we were away.

Before bed lake time!

Cute face Kieran at his "bed night swim"

AUGUST ADVENTURES!

Dave and I have many to thank for the opportunity to have had an incredible adventure this past August. A ginormous thank you to Matt and Jo for inviting us on a journey to Normandy, France with them. We had an amazing time and likely will never be on a holiday such as that again! Mum and Tom (aka. Gramz and Claw) we are so grateful to you for offering to look after the boys, enabling us to get away as a married couple with great friends. And, last but not least to Jally for offering us points to fly there. We recognize and appreciate how much you guys have done and the experience given to us. With gratitude, xo k & d
