a little visit...


Mike's sister and her girls were here lately. The weather was great the first day...not so great the next, but it all worked out fine. Swimming, playing, crafting, fishing and hanging out. Blueberry waffles for breakfast...

Lots of chatting, laughing and goofing around. Mostly 6 girls and occasionally one daddy/unky monkey.

The last night was a birthday party. It was all good except for the tornado warnings on the radio. Caused us all a little anxiety. Dinner was a bit rushed...."ok, so if I say go downstairs now...remember to walk not run...hurry and eat!" It ended up landing south of us. We ate cake as a full double rainbow was brightly glowing above us...the storm had passed. Sad looking little cake...but it was delicious!

a muskoka summer day...yay!


a hot and still day. perfect for swimming.


we were sticky and feeling the need to cool down. our watering hole was calling.



today elsie shared it with a new friend. they searched the river for critters and swam with the ducks. the girls, aged 3 years apart, were kindred spirits. they caught a little mouse first thing this morning and named it cheese. how cute.


if you click on this last photo, you'll have a better look at the girls exploring...
