Cruisin' to the BDI

Finally a warm summer evening and a drive...
in the Buick...
LeSabre...
to the BDI - YUM!
And despite the warm evening...Eva wore a fleece!
And Hannah appropriately wore this tee!
One entertainer...
the "people" bridge...
the mighty Red River...
And more entertainers.

Day Trip Faces

Miss Daryn w/ a "Trumpish" hairdo...
Mr Brett teaching me about birds...
The two cuties waiting to see their Dad come home from work...
And giving their Mom a heartattack for standing on the arm of the chair and leaning too far over the railing!!

Ah...lake time...

In honor of a great country...particularily the lake country...
I headed in that direction...this was a roadside glimpse...
A new coffee shop in Kenora that was boasting its grand opening on Canada Day...
A curious friend at the lake...with creepy red eyes...
Ah...this is the best view...
My most entertaining fisher people...
The curious one came back several times...and with a beak that long an pointy I suppose it couldn't see that it had something dripping from it's "chin"...
Wanna buy an island? It's available...
A perfect summer day to fish...as long as you didn't want to actually catch something...(right Dad?)...
Rocks are weird...
Ok and here is the funny part...this fisher person floats like styrofoam...but you'll notice the very trusty, well secured life vest...
This fisher person floats like a boulder...but no life vest...hmmmm!
That's what I call a well balanced pair!
No wonder they've been together for so long!

There's something about flowers...

A Poppy that was about to burst...
A Chive blossom that had...
And this soft white Orchid!
(I think)

Think she liked animals??

I couldn't resist a pic as this was in front of me at the light the other day.
Dog hanging out one window and the cat was staring right at me above the only functioning brake light. However, in typical cat fashion...it didn't cooperate for the photo!

I don't know why both sets of parents needed a night out to enjoy a child-free dinner - they were perfect angels! ;o)

Twins!

I had to share this pic of Erica's twins - Ella & Grace - with their G'ma Karen.
They've grown some more since this pic was taken in June - so cute!

Work Day #1

I encountered a few crazies! Their mother will be sooo proud!
And the antics continued...
They used to be more cooperative and just smile adoringly like Miss Amara!
Isn't this an adorable looking back seat?
