Lovely Weekend

  • Friday night Dot & Harry bought us a gazebo for the garden (pictures later) and we ended up sat in it till about 1am. It was so nice to enjoy the garden & not to be eaten alive by mosquitoes!
  • Saturday we did some yard sales - I got a great kitchen set for Jack (no stereotyping with our boy) and Dot bought him his first small chair. Later on we went to Jack's friend Hannah's 2nd birthday party. At night we watched Ricky Hatton's boxing match and were estatic that he won. The hope is that he'll get to fight Mayweather. We might have to re-mortgage the house to get tickets for that one!
  • Sunday we headed up to Indian Lake to see Char & Jan....

Here's their cabin - set back on its own on Pony Island.

Char (R) & Jan (L)
Craig and his mum and dad fishing. Harry caught a sun fish. Craig's got away ;-)

Covering the stroller with a bug net was fruitless once Jack learned he could play peek-a-boo!

I saw my first swans in the USA last week and now the place in inundated with them! The lake is a wonderful wildlife reserve, with turtles, muskrats, beavers, herons, water snakes, red-wing blackbirds, kingfishers, hawks, vultures and ducks galore. Oh, and a lot of chipmunks and racoons that try their best to outsmart Char & Jan.
