Remembering Summer Vacay - start wk 2

The antics continued in the lake...
Brad & Lois arrived and joined in the fun - tubing, skiing, etc...

A. Lois & Alyssa are prepping for their tube ride with Graeme on look-out...

Meanwhile back at the shore there was enemy fire directed at the photographer - the attacker looked a lot like the photographer's B-I-L...

A. Lois & Lys - they survived!

Mr Graeme Bryce!

Mr Spencer Lane!

And Miss Alyssa Jenae!

Fort Vermilion in Vermilion Bay - only open in the summer but it provided a lot of fun for these kids!

Cool treats on a warm evening!

Goof @ the photo board...I think we took a pic every time we went there which was 3 or 4 times!

Sunbeams & late day skies of summer!

It's a tradition with the 3 + me that we have to get their picture taken here every summer!

Wednesday they were mastering the game of Mastermind.

Deep in thought...

Trying to tell Spence a secret, but he's too busy giggling cuz it tickles!

Lys was giving A. Lois a neck massage on the ride to Dryden...

A. Lois relaxing in the lake - you'll note she's keeping her hair dry though.

How did we let that happen?!

Papa H & Lys hanging out on Dad's bench @ the beach...

Lookin' a lot like Huckleberry Finn...

Remembering Summer Vacay - end of wk 1

These 3 were great!
They never grew tired of hanging out @ the lake and despite how this picture appears they didn't grow tired of hanging out with each other either!

Love the clear water on the sand...

Mom/Grandma even got to come play in the water with us!

They never grew tired of jumping off this dock either!

And when Lyssa got cold, she'd happily wrap up in a big towel and watch the two giant goofs - her cousins!

Always a unique style...

Admiring the newly painted "S" cabin...next up...the windows!

Looks great!

"Downstairs" @ the lake...the boys were inspecting the area while Lys hung out with G'ma in town.

Spence - always on the move! I'm surprised his reflection/shadow can keep up!

Graeme doesn't mind taking the time to slow down a bit and take a closer look.

3 great kids! So glad I got to steal them away for some vacation time @ the lake!

Happy 11th Birthday, Spencer Lane!

Dear Summer...

Uhmmmmmm....I'm actually not ready to say good-bye yet...

Please stay!

Sincerely,

Lynda

KJE&H came to visit us @ the lake...

Eva & Hannah enjoying this little piece of paradise with Lyssa
This is a picture perfect day @ the lake!

Graeme patrolling in one of my floating loungers - heavily armed!

Miss Hannah in the not so effective noodle chair, also heavily armed!

Hannah & Graeme - both are doubly armed with water guns, but no one is firing!

Lys & Eva chowing down lunch...

Uhm...we kinda took over the entire beach & rock area with all our stuff!

Intently reading Archies!

Ah...another one of my favourite ON spots on Eagle Lake.

What's not to like?

Ok, just the weeds maybe, if you are swimming w/o an air mattress.

Eva & Alyssa - cooling their feet...

Miss Lyss!

I absolutely should have been out there on one of those air mattresses with Jacob, Spencer & Graeme but the I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the sights from this angle either.

Boys in the bay...

Keeping things lively @ the Government Dock...and the never ending enthusiasm for jumping off it!

Off to Fort Vermilion to race around the playground & play some mini-golf!

Miss Hannah...takin' her swing!

And Miss Eva...

And Tiger! aka Jacob

Inside the Fort - most adorable gift shop & cafe!

The kids kept this area alive!

The outside of Fort Vermilion's Treehouse Cafe & Gift shop!

Anna & her daughters should be proud - there are few other things quite so charming in VBay.

The girlies heading to the school playground while the guys were out fishing!

Eva, soaking up the sun & enjoying the R&R!

Also looking quite a bit like her Mom here...

Sunbathing Beach Babies

Graeme - Spender - Dad - Jacob

The boys return with...

Four fish - 3 walleye & 1 pike

Even caught them in the "Dead Sea" - Well done!
