Bunch of teens, trying to pose nicely...
But things kept happening in the bunch that were easily distracted...
And then the "real" kids came out of them...that's more like it!

More of NWO...

'nuf said...
Local kids enjoying "my" beach w/ me...
Where I spent the few couple months of my life...minus the excessive yard decor...
And then where I spent the next 9 years...althought Dad kept the yard & driveway looking much better!
Ely Lake...
More of Ely Lake...
Waldorf flat...loved the golden endless wire string...

This sign could be useful posted...

Anywhere near my family...

Sioux Lookout & NWO Sunsets...

Heading home from the lake on July Long Wknd I rounded one of the many corners and saw this ahead...
Over the hill, I saw this...
And around another corner I saw this at which point I pulled over, parked, got out and sat on the side of the road by this lake to watch the rest of the show!
And...it was well worth it! So gorgeous!
Sunsets are great, but when reflected on water they are doubly so...
And we took a drive to Sioux Lookout since it had been years since we were up there...
LOVED this little camp we drove past - Frog Rapids Camp!
We had supper at Sportmans' Lodge and watched the steady traffic of float planes coming & going...
More float planes and of course - Moose antler sillouettes...
I was amused and reminded where I was when I noticed the discarded appliances just tossed out the door with grass growing around them right beside the restaurant - classy!

Here's your sign...

Really?!
Is this necessary?
I saw this while driving along the #1 and was instantly reminded of Jeff Foxworthy's "Here's your sign."

Crazy musicians...

What a pair...it started off nicely enough...
And suddenly this happened! I'm not sure if this is a reaction to his playing or her singing...

Was it too much sun?!

The kids love using my camera...so this is Levi's picture of Alyssa!
Nice, huh?
And this goof saved the icing from the middle of his cookie & then proceeded to roll it into a ball & proudly declared that I should take a picture of it!
Miss Messyface just watched the 3 nuts around her & smiled her Mona Lisa smile...
And then it was Lyssa's turn with the camera and she captured this Kodak moment of Levi!
And here Mara puts on her most innocent, pleading face to convince me to let her keep my phone...
I'll easily admit - that is a sweet, innocent face!
And look at this little angel, quietly enjoying a photo album on her own...
And here big brother is being a sweet boy taking care of his baby sister while playing a game!
What's not to love!?!

Buggy in Brandon...

Recovering from a nasty splash...Poor Mara was caught standing too close to the splash pool by her older sibs who were delighted to see her standing here. She's trying to decide if she should complain or not...
Here the nutters are leaping off the stairs in to the puddle pool. They wanted to jump from the 3rd or 5th step...ah, nope, but nice try!
When you first get your walking feet, this is a huge step down...
A unique entry style to the pool...and good abs I'm thinking cuz he held this pose for a while for me! :D
Showin' his sis a little love and posing!
Someone with a soggy backside (from sitting on the grass too close to the pool), then sat in the sandbox and here she's trying to decide whether or not she should lick her hands!
Sand gone, she found a book in the playhouse, planted herself on the front veranda under the flower box and "read" her book...
Big sis, little sis hanging out on the front steps of the playhouse...
Levi, the watergun graffiti artist! He was writing his name but I'm pretty sure the "L" is backwards bud!
All cozy in her BIG soft beach towel!
What a goof!
He asked me to take his picture in this chair, just like this, becuase he told me he was waaaaaay too tired to even sit properly in the chair!
