Vacation Time in Canada!

We had an awesome time visiting our family in Canada from the 30th-9th. It was so great to spend time with everyone. We came home with some great memories

 these girls are ready for the plane ride and I must say they did really well

 Maddie was allowed to have some gingerale on the plane...nice treat 

 we arrived at gramma's house. Opening up some gifts form gramma and poppa 

 the next day was Canada day so we got ready and headed to the park for the parade 

 after the parade we headed to the carnival for some food and rides 

 the neighbors across the street just had a litter of 11 Great Dane pups about a week before we arrived. The kids loved going over for some puppy play time

 back at gramma's for some dinner

 Holden and Linc with some sparklers 

 we tried to have a sleep over at Lincoln's house but Holden ended up wanting to go back to gramma's house. Hopefully next time we are up the boys can have their sleep over 

 Shane and Melissa's dog Stu....he passed away the day we left. He was such a good and loyal dog

 out on the boat with some fishing action 

 Holden really enjoyed hanging out at his counsins house 

 back on the boat the next day

 picnic dinner at gramma's 

 had to visit this place everyday

 and this place too of course 

 we dressed the kids up on the 4th of July

 Ryan and I hit the farmers market in the morning 

 the folk festival was going on so we docked the boat near by to listen to the bands 

 Maddie caught her first fish

 heading to the park to play 

 the next day we took Holden, Lincoln and Sadie out on the boat but Holden was feeling under the weather so he slept and relaxed the whole time

 BBQ at Mel and Shane's 

 On Monday we had a burial service for Ryan's nana who passed away in Feburary. We were so happy to be there for this. After the burial we had a little reception and visit with the Knapp side of the family

 after we got back home auntie Mel took the girls to get their ears pierced for their birthday

 Sadie was unsure and wanted to hold my hand

 both the girls did amazing 

 the one and only rain storm we had the whole time. The kids played in it for a while 

 Mel, Shane, Ry and I enjoyed a kid free dinner at Brewery Bay, our favorite restaurant 

 cheers 

 relaxing day at Moose Beach with the kids 

 the kids dug a nice little mud bath to play in

 ice cream treats from gramma 

 our last dinner together 

 Holden saying goodbye to his best bud Bear 

 Holden got super emotional when we had to leave. That made it so much harder to say goodbye

 reading his favorite Lego book cheered him up a little

until our next adventure........
