July 2011

Here are the latest highlights from our backyard and beyond...

Watching the RCMP Musical Ride



Hiking in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia


We had a great holiday in the States, spending a week in Virginia and a few days in Washington DC.  We got to see some friends and their new baby too!

Canoeing on the Rideau Canal



Using our new canoe trailer

(This got us quite a few looks going through town, I can assure you.)

Swimming at Bon Echo Provincial Park



We've just returned from a few days of camping.  Kate didn't sleep very well in the tent, but she LOVED the beach.  Hopefully she will get used to the tent! 

Now it's back to work on Monday...

OK, so spring did come...

Here are a few shots from the last month.

Kate goes international

Hi friends,

The big news around here is that we just got back from a great trip to Belgium to visit Uncle Neil!  Kate thought the airplane was pretty exciting.  We didn't do much traditional sightseeing - just "hung out" and enjoyed the springtime weather.  Here are a few highlights...

On the plane (reviewing the safety instructions!)

 Hangin' out with Uncle Neil

In the backyard

Enjoying winter

We headed out for a snowshoe excursion a few weekends ago - the weather was perfect!

I'm 2!

A few shots from Kate's 2nd birthday party last month.  Cupcakes and balloons - what more could a girl want? 

(The cute bunting over the window was handmade by a neighbour for her first birthday - now officially a birthday tradition!)
