Life With Our Girls

Vacation Week...Roughing It!! Part 1

So our first week of vacation was spent at Mom and Dad Cameron's woodlot . They had just put a basement under their little house and were on vacation themselves getting lots of work(or trying to ) done . We joined them for a week filled with crazy fun, amazing food, no running water....no electricity(except when the generator was running) lots of old fashioned work and play.

Ryan and I did lots of landscaping for Mom and Dad.

The girls were kept busy in the wild raspberry patch picking us sweet berries which translated into yummy skillet desserts.

Daddy kept busy looking out for kids and dogs while running his new excavator.

We looked for cooling watermelons kept in the stream....

We watched the kids watching the work and the puppy from the front door...

We got oodles of pictures and had loads of fun just being together!!

We learned new things...

Had fun thrift store shopping...

And modeling the finds afterwards..

We got muddy playing in the dirt..

Took lots of breaks from the work to watch the clothes drying in the breeze.

We learned new skills....

Did you know that a drill with a whisk attached can be used to whip cream ?

Made new friends.....

Another new skill...hand washing laundry...

Had fun making a clothes line and hanging out our freshly washed clothes!

More dirt and happy girls.

More dirt and happy men!!!!

More clean clothes and a happy momma!!!

We also had cousin fun at a birthday party and got fun tattoos!!

Petted friendly deer...

Enjoyed being together..

Loved the wildlife up close...

and far away!!

We chatted ..

and celebrated big 6 year old birthdays

And made memories...yup this vacation was splendid so far!!!!

A little Bit of Everything

So our summer was going pretty well, we were getting excited for our super vacations coming up and in the meantime were snuggling a puppy........

Having marshmallow roasts....

Keeping cool in the kiddy pool....

Snuggling some more....

Trying to stay fit with 1 more distraction then we had before the summer started....

And again.....puppy snuggling........:0)

Puppy Fun

We had so much fun with our puppy. The girls and I went to visit Mom and Dad in Wickham with my sister Jenny and her 6 girls the first of the summer . We had so much fun and Bear did too!! His first trip to the beach was not what I thought it would be with him being a Newfoundland puppy and so I thought was supposed to love the water, but he didn't, and had fun on the sand playing with the girls!!
