Pre-Cottage events August 2011

Well, it is time for our annual vacay at the cottage. We headed out at the end of July and spent a couple of days in Winnipeg doing pre-cottage family events and attending the wedding of a good friend. We got in some great time with the other children in the family, enjoying some cuddles with brand new baby Rachel, and catching up with Adam, Kristine and Matthew. Being in town allowed us some outings, such as heading to the nature playground at Assiniboine Park. Matthew and Adam joined Sophia, Jacob, Grandma, Grandpa, Daddy and Mommy. A good time was had by all. That evening we heading out to Treherne for Allison and Ryan's wedding. After some delays on Sunday morning, we (the four of us and Grandma & Grandpa) headed out for the cottage.



Action shots....insert "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Adam and Matthew

Cousin Matthew....he is the observer of the kids....he wasn't too thrilled with Auntie Tricia trying to get him to both look at the camera and smile. He was still trying to figure out who the heck I was. "Auntie" for the most part has been Luanne (Kristine's sister), so another Auntie was just darned confusing.

Hellooooooooooo everybody!


Cooling the feet in the water play area....Sophia loved the feeling of the water splooshing over her feet.

Dragging Gma to the slide for the thousandth time. To heck with everything else, Jacob just wanted the slides

Cousins!!! Very cute, and getting along famously.
