The girls loved the warm pool!!
Their oldest Rachel was away ,so in the photo of oldest to youngest, we left a place between Emmy and Elle for her!! The baby was sleeping so didn't make the picture either.
Somehow they discovered the kiddy pool was several degrees warmer than the big pool,so they camped out there life jackets and all!!
Bear enjoyed the wet deck.
We finally arrived in Lunenburg N.S. at our vacation house ,which is a beautiful old 6 bedroom farmhouse, set back off the water . We had a dock, beach, boats, walking trails, and crabs to catch galore. When Mom and Dad Skaling arrived, Mom played a game of catch with Elin.
Elsie and I went for a stroll to meet a new friend..
We all quickly fell in love with this brown eyed gent.
He loved giving and getting kisses, and he had lots of campany during our week there!!
Cousins all together again.
The first morning we woke at the farm house, we woke to having an 11 year old in our family for the first time!! Em got to choose her birthday breakfast and she enjoyed it....
So did Eva!
Can't believe she is 11 already. Crazy how time is flying by.
Ryan got to work getting ready for a huge birthday party. Emily wanted a pirate theme due to the private island we had access to that week. She thought a treasure hunt would be fun, so Ryan got an early start getting the clues written out on the paper he had painstakingly stained with tea before we left.
The girls on the big front porch. We didn't have to worry about them being bored that week. They just visited, explored, and played all day long.
Elin ,I and Bear walking down to the water past the Alpaca and Chicken pens.
Ryan took us out on a boat ride, and Bear had his first ride ever. He was as still and quiet as a mouse.
This is princess Tulula-Belle who is Ryan's sister -in-law Angela's 4th child. Tulula-Belle was not impressed with bumbling,big,clumsy Bear.
Even Grammie had a ride down to the dock to watch her "grandbabies" playing on the water.
Bear took advantage of her shade and got a nap.
Emily loved being out on the water.
Eva and 12 year old Cousin Carly.
So our first morning was over and the party was next!!!!.....
