Cottage and Horseshoes

July 29-31, 2016

This was the long weekend and the Chelsea Bowmans joined us at the cottage Friday night for supper. Aunt Cathy, Uncle Bruce and Uncle Rick also came up. The boys, their parents and Boots camped at the top of the hill. As usual the boys wanted a fire before bed.

Saturday morning the boys headed down to the cottage from their tent. We celebrated Kirk and Karine's 5th anniversary. Cathy had some special Duplo/Lego for the boys so they enjoyed building their new models. Then Sam helped make the picnic potato salad for the Tims' horseshoe tournament. Of course, the boys wanted to have some fun in the water too.

At lunch we continued our celebrations. The boys were happy to show Maman and Papa the card they had made.

Soon it was time to swim/boat/hike/drive over to the Tims cottage for more fun in water, snacks, a visit to the Brownlee's crooked playhouse, horseshoes (Grandpa was a winner!), rides in Seb's sportscar, checking out the fish BBQs, eating a delicious supper, including a birthday cake for Barbara and Nadine (70 years old!) and Colleen's pizza cookie. The day ended with sparkler fun.

On Sunday morning, the boys went fishing and played until it was time to head back home.

Play Day

July 20, 2016

The boys came to 9 Lambert for the day. A big hit was playing with the space shuttle - the long lost booster rocket was found. David enjoyed setting up the train rack.

Then they had fun flying WW1 biplanes with Grant.

A picnic lunch completed the morning, followed by helping Grandpa repair a canoe float.

Then we were off for a visit to the Experimental Farm. Learning about cow milking was a hit. The boys enjoyed the playground. They were very interested in watching the suckling piglets. A coin made a pig snort- lots of laughs!
