I had a near crisis when my digital camera broke! Before I went into withdrawl too badly, I packed it up in the box, found the receipt (after 20 months) and took it back to costco. They gave me a full refund (they even refunded the memory chip I had bought) and I went back in and bought a brand new updated camera! Not bad eh? Here is Kaeleb, we were trying it out for the first time!




While Kaeleb took a much needed nap in my arms, Daelin & Maureen started work on a fantastic sandcastle!

When it was complete it had a moat, drawbridge and an underground tunnel from front to back! What a work of art!

The water was warm and although the air was a bit cool we still enjoyed a good swim. Daelin & Kaeleb had so much fun splashing around.
Ah, the dog days of summer. How they will be missed...


It was one of those picture perfect days at Wasaga, where you could lounge on the beach till evening, quite easily!

We had a great time and enjoyed spending the day with Maureen!



We took a trip to Cookstown for the Annual Vintage Steam & Gas Show. The boys had a great time. There were tons of vintage tractors and trains for everyone! Even a working sawmill!

When you pulled the string on this beautiful train, the bell would ring. Daelin also managed to get the whistle to blow too!

Kaeleb loved the antique motorcycles!
The boys even participated in a kiddy tractor pull, it was hard work! (really!)

We ended the day of with a nice tractor ride!


We enjoyed a very fun evening at Moster Elisa & Uncle Terry's house. We roasted and ate marshmallows and had lots of fun!

Everyone ate their share of marshmallows!


Although the roasting is fun, the eating is even better!

We recently had a mini-vacation with Tom & Rhonda. The kids had a blast and can't wait to go back. Thanks for a great time Uncle Tom & Aunt Rhonda

Kaeleb really enjoyed all the "toys". He learned how to drive an ATV, he sat on a snowmobile and he got to go for a ride in a speedboat!

Both Daelin & Kaeleb tried fishing for the first time. They enjoyed it although Kaeleb did get a little distracted by the other toys that were there to play with like ATV's and powerboats :0) Daelin, however, is hooked!

Daelin and Tyler really had a great time together.
A very proud fisherman...
The boys have decided that fishing is great fun!

Here is Timothy with the trophy catch of the day!
and Tyler with one of his many catches...

Kaeleb took one look at the ski-doo and went crazy!
Until he saw the "ATTT" as he calls it, riding that around was the highlight of his weekend!
He could even drive it himself!

It's pretty tiring having a fun day at the beach!
The seagulls have landed!
Now that's a sand-sculpture!
