Happy Birthday, Jeff & Lily!

We had grilled veggies, stuffed potatoes, herb garlic chicken and Caesar salad for the birthday dinner, with fruit parfaits for dessert.

Here are the birthday people.... Jeff is 43 now and Lily is 2 years old!

Oma reading Lily's new book to all of the kids.

A long day of celebrating!

Birthday Party Day!

Tired after a long day. She fell asleep with her sucker still in her hand.

Last Few Days of Vacation!

Well, this is about it for our vacation pictures. We have had such a wonderful time here at Fawn Lake. We are already looking forward to hopefully coming back again next year.

Here is Lily fresh out of the bathtub after getting out of the lake and she's ready for a little snack.

The master and the student cooking supper!

Lily being entertained by AJ & Victoria.

Jeff and I combined our culinary skills and made a fancy spaghetti & meatballs dinner for the family including some delicious bruschetta bread. We even had apple juice in fancy glasses!

It was nice having my parents join us for a couple of days.

Opa took the older kids out fishing early on Friday morning.

Luke was the only one who caught a fish. Here he is with his prize winning fish. They did throw it back!

We had fun with an outdoor fire roasting marshmmallows, making s'mores and popping Jiffy Pop popcorn!

Beautiful Fawn Lake

Here are some more vacation pictures.

Here I am keeping an eye on the kids in the lake yesterday morning. What a peaceful, relaxing place for vacation. I hope we can come back next year!

The girls playing in the sand. I think it's so funny that Lily still does that funny face when I say, "Smile!" She's getting to the age where she and Tori can really have a lot of fun playing together.
Lily on the surf board! We have had more fun with that thing than you'd believe!

The girls have had lots of fun playing with this toy food. Lily wanted me to take a picture of it.

Lily is trying to eat a banana but she's a bit short. We pulled her chair out and showed her an easier way!

Luke's hair was getting SO long. I meant to cut it before we left for home, but didn't get a chance. So we had a little fun with him last night. We did get his hair cut this morning. I'll have to post a picture of his handsome haircut later on. He's such a great sport.

Goofy Entertainers!

We had to be sure to get in our traditional trip to the Fudge Factory.

These are the flavours we got: Cookies & Cream, Mint Chocolate, Chewy Praline, Sherbet, and Skor

The Kids in the Lake

One more picture to post for today. Now I'm going to go get into the lake myself!!

Vacation at Fawn Lake

It's been a while since I posted, but since we're on vacation I thought I would try and catch up a bit. Here are a few pictures from our vacation this week. We are having such a wonderful time that I'm not getting around to taking as many pictures as I usually do!

Here is the beautiful cottage where we are staying! We spend most of our day outside either at the lake or on the balcony!
