At the Campsite

Here we are at the campsite. I love the photo of Craig with the hatchet and the matches, he was sooo happy and in his element during this weekend. Then there is like father like son. Muddy was having tons of fun this weekend although he was a bit of a gong show. Cam & Kelly had a big tent with an air mattress in it so he kept asking if he could go into the 'bouncy castle' and then would run around the campsite with barefeet and carrying large sticks that would often go close to other people's eyes. He was definitely a walking hazard.

Giant Hole Jumping

One of Daddy and Avery's favourite beach activities is to dig a giant hole near the water and them jump in it. Molly and Ella also thought this was a great game and they had a great time taking turns jumping into hole over and over.

Muddy Rocks the Sandy Beach

We have been away for awhile but it is time to come back and catch up. These photos are from a camping weekend we had with our friends Cam and Kelly and their girls Molly and Ella. We stopped by Turkey Point first for some beach time and McKinley was a happy boy just doing his own thing. We just stand back and watch and laugh.

Avery and Grandpa

The first photo is Avery doing her ongoing impression of a supermodel. The last 3 photos show Avery and Grandpa McGuire in their water fight rivalry. I am not sure who won the battle but they had a great time during the war.

Mom and Daughter

Brianna wanted to get some shots of Avery and I so here are some of the shots she took. I am pretty sure Avery already thinks she is a model. She has all the poses going on.

More Park Action

A few more shots from the park.

This is how you go down a slide

If you are in the middle of a photo shoot with your mom, this is how you go down the slide and stay looking so good.

Fun in Ancaster

No matter what we always have a great time when the cousins get together. Here we are at the park in Ancaster. We enjoyed the splash pad, ate some lunch, rode our bikes and played in the playground. Fun had by all.

I can ride my bike!!

There were a few tears and the odd 'I hate this stupid bike' but in the end after some pushing from her mother and lots of practicing on the track across the street Avery has it figured out and is nice and confident on her bike. Muddy is the opposite extreme, he worked and worked on his own and figured out how to get on and off the bike on his own and how it pedal it. He can now easily ride to the ice cream store and back without any difficulty.

We Love Popsicles

Our lovely neighbour Sharon has a continuous supply of popsicles to ensure she gets to spend quality time with our two little monkeys. It is a very effective strategy as Avery and McKinley ask all the time to go over to 'see' Sharon. I am sure it is an unexpected bonus that they get a popsicle almost every single time.
