Canada Vacation (4th Post)

Look out.... we have an underage driver! Uncle Donny was a little confused about how to drive the boat so Colby tried to help.


Everyone quickly realized trying to feed Colby was a bit of an art project. It definitely took more than 1 if you wanted it to be smooth. Here Diana, Lolli and Nick all try their handywork with the little man.

I'm not sure who the food was for in this shot.... Nick might have tasted it here!

Colby and Aunt Diana were very happy to see the food was all gone in this picture.

I couldn't believe how old Colby looked in this picture.... he's only 10 months.... but looks like he's 2!

Right on the breaking point of walking on his own. Colby's takin a few steps here and there from chair to table while holding on to nothing. Here Lolli helps Colby iwht his footwork.



Uncle Donny found a friendly snake trying to cross near the dock.

Nick get's in a little snooze after the long day of playing.

Mere created a little high chair for Colby using the kids rocking chair, and a towel. He did pretty good the first little bit.... but soon enough he'd slide right out of it and make his way for something more appealing.

On the 4th of July I dressed the kids up in their special shirts for a few pictures on the lawn at the cottage. Colby did pretty good for about 2 pictures... then he was headed in a different direction. I atleast was able to snap one good one!

As always I got a beautiful smile out of Izzy.....



The boys often went out during the evening to try their luck at catching fish. The last couple of night we were there they got really lucky with some catfish and walleye. Dad was the lucky guy and got to cook it all.

Nick with the walleye..... this is a first for the Desabrais'.



Danny and Matt.... I can't believe how much Matt has grown up in the last few years.

Ray, Danny and Izzy worked on the fireworks for the 4th of July. Thanks to Aunt Diana we were able to celebrate our holiday in Canada with the family!

A few posts ago I wrote about dad planning to carry up wood that Danny's shop had cut out so that Donny could put together cabinets for Mere's kitchen. Danny and Donny worked hard before we left to make sure Donny understood the basics of his job at hand.





Mere had the most beautiful pots of flowers planted on oher deck at the house. 

Tash, Colby and Nick take a little play time before we head out to the airport. 

A few family shots.

Mere and Pere with the grandkids.

The Desabrais'....

Lolli and Pa with Mere, Pere, Izzy and Colby...

We're so lucky to have such an amazing group of family and friends back in Canada.... we love and miss you all dearly!
