Friends Cottage - Bracebridge

We took the boys up to our friends' Meredith and Shawn's cottage in Bracebridge. There were 3 couples and 6 kids altogether, and we all had a great time on the water, playing games and the adults had a late night by the campfire.

WInter Carnival

In February, we took Noah and Jacob to the Orillia Winter Carnival. There was the annual ice castle where kids love to slide down. There was also a polar bear dip and an animal petting tent. It was a great way to spend the day outside.

Nature's Beauty - Algonquin Park

On the way through Algonquin Park, we couldn't help but notice these "frozen" waterfalls coming out of the rocks.

Christmas 2006

Christmas Day was a blast with the kids. They are really starting to get into the spirit, believing in Santa and all that stuff....

Jen's Christmas Present

As a "romantic" surprise this year, I took Jen up to Bear's Trail Resort in Algonquin Park. What an amazing and relaxing time. Jaccuzzi tub beside the king size bed; sauna and multi-head shower. Wonderful cuisine. We recommend it to anyone wanting to get away as a couple.

WAcky Hair DAy and HaLloWeEn

Here are the guys ready for trick or treating. The top pic is of Noah going to school prepared for "wacky hair day".

SWIMMING LESSONS

Noah and Jacob have started taking swimming lessons. They love the water and are getting better and more comfortable each time we go. This summer should be loads of fun!

Dim Sum and Worship

Here we are for the fall festival with our cousins and relatives in Whitby. Noah and Jacob had a blast.

Wye Marsh

Last week we went to the Wye Marsh in Midland. The kids loved hiking, looking at all the animals and "dip-netting"...where they scooped up critters from the water...Noah caught lots of bugs and a minnow.

Grant's Woods

Here are the boys taking a walk through Grant's Woods on Division Road, just on the outskirts of Orillia in mid October. It was still warm (mid to high teen's)...but this past week we saw a very light sprinkle of snow!!! Oh Canada!

Last Camping Trip

Here are some pics from our trip to Awenda Provincial Park in late August.
