A day trip...

I met the parentals for supper in Kenora...
We had supper along the harbourfront...
Captured some of the local graffiti...every bridge needs some, I guess...
And then indulged myself with a few pics of the spring blossoms...
Again...
And again.
It's moments like this that I can hardly remember what winter is even like...
I would happily forget forever!
I LOVE spring, summer & fall!

Busy as Bees @ Bee Day...

Ok, some worked and others only worked in their imagination...such as this young farmer.
But regardless of how hard he was working, he was Mr. Happy on the tractor.
Sharing the driver's seat w/ Lyssa.
Farmer Chic girl!
Helping spread Dandilions...
Hannah helped too...
This pic made me laugh...George ridin' shotgun, and then Jacob & Quinn took turns drivin' the pick-up w/ assistance from the Pilot...or does that make him the c0-pilot? :D

Aahhhh....the great outdoors

Finally...it is Spring all around!
What does this mean besides green grass, leaves and warmth?
It means hours in the sandbox for some little people.
Sweet little feet...
This Little Princess...rarely known to talk (ha.) was chattin' up a storm while she prepare a solid foundation for her "castle".
Time to Ride!
Mr I'm-too-stubborn-to-pedal!
Levi

G'pa J entertaining the kids on the back deck.
If the car stopped moving (Dad was the 'horsepower')..., Gracie got out!

They say..."one man's junk...is another man's treasure!"

At one point, while the garage/yard sale shoppers came and went...
the kids had a ball "rolling" down the front lawn...

Alyssa's turn...
The neighbour cutie - Miss Gracie came for a few visits!
Lookin' charming on the other neighbour's driveway wall.
Playing on the neighbour's drive. (I wasn't allowed to participate they said, because I didn't know "who" they were playing with)...I also can honestly say I don't know "what" they were pretending to "do" here either...
