Canada Fun

We had a great vacation visiting our family in Canada. The airport and plane ride was a bit stressful with the kids but we made it with no big issues....
 


 the kids lasted in their own seats for about 5 minutes then they wanted to play musical chairs the rest of the ride
 the next morning Mel, Shane and the boys came for a visit
 the boys were so excited to see each other





 already putting her to work
 we headed over to Mel and Shane's for some backyard fun







 taking a beer break







 the next morning we headed out to the lake















 on Saturday July 13 we were told to be at Mel and Shane's house at 3:30 for a family picture......little did we know that we were going to a wedding. It was an awesome surprise and we are so happy that we had the chance to be there for the big day










 Shane's parents












 we all stayed over at Mel's house that night. Everyone woke up a bit tired so Mel, Shane, Ryan and I took Holden and Linc out on the boat to relax 


 spending the morning at Moose Beach

 playing at the splash park










 all the cousins





 we had a little birthday party for Holden, Maddie and Sadie at Mel's house. I was able to snap a few pictures but my battery died and I left my back up at Kris's house, I was so bummed

 Maddie was determined to blow this balloon up


 pizza party, yummy
 Nan came down for a visit the next day



 Popsicle treats in the hot sun

 we had really great weather on our visit. We had a chance to see a little thunder storm. It did not last very long at all. The kids had a blast running in the rain and thought the thunder was awesome


 this is Earl the squirrel. The kids would feed him peanuts at the back door every morning
 Mel, Shane, Ryan and I got to go for a relaxing dinner at Brewery Bay. This is one of my favorites restaurants to visit when we are there
 There was a big Scottish festival at the park near Mel's house. Everyone walked down to check it out. I stayed back with Sadie so she could have a nap




 Sadie and I joined everyone back at Melissa's

 enjoying our last day with family

 the boy's were so sad to say goodbye
