Auntie Me + 3

Winnipeg - Brandon, Brandon - Regina - Brandon...

And that's how I got the boys (thanks Lois, Aj & Trista!)
Here Aj took all the kids for a ride before we continued our road trip to ON.
Jacq the neighbour was certain that Aj was going to crash on his roller blades w/ 'Mars in the chariot...and she was certain that I was NUTS to be taking 3 kids to the lake for 2 weeks @ my parents...

10 mins E of Brandon...this was Lyssa Lou...

And this was Graeme...

And this was Spencer!

At the MB/ON border...Lys got right into some butterfly inspection...

Here's 3 of my 5 favourite kids @ the ON sign. Until I made them stop...these 3 were bounding around on the rock and passersby on the #1 were honking...must have resembled a circus?!

Gee Mom...I wanna go, back to Ontario...

We arrived...and after wolfing down supper (thank you Mom)...they had to go check out the beach, lake & new boardwalk...
And the water temps...w/o getting wet!

First morning @ the lake...Lys & Spence...

...played in the sandbox harmoniously!

Last summer these two were guaranteed to clash at some point in the "cooking, construction & design" phases...

And finally...off to the beach!

With just a "few" toys!

No wonder we got envious looks from the other kids that came to the lake with just their suits & towels!

And of course it was only moments until the waterfights started.

We actually wore out @ least 3 of these water guns in 2 weeks.

Miss Lys - demonstrating reason # 89 why it is good to be at the lake!

Loved Dad's expression here. Lake/beach lunch...and he was so excited that he was the focal point of my pic!

Lots of tube rides & fishing (thanks Dad!)...

This was Spence's turn...

This was Lyssa's turn.

Can you even see her head peeking out of the middle?!

Brave girl!

Graeme was checking out one of my floating chairs and just to be safe, he was heavily armed against any potential attack!

'Mars decided to catch some zzzzzzs on the way there with her Mom & I...
And I couldn't resist snapping a pic of the view!
I love the Prairies in the Summer!
