august break - days one through seven

We have just returned home from our two week summer vacation - wonderful spending time with family and old friends.  We were sad to leave all the Grandparents behind, however it is always nice to be home and to re-establish routines and a sense of normalcy for the kids.


As we were away for the first week of the August Break, I thought I'd share seven photos from early on in our vacation to catch up - enjoy!

1.  go canoeing

6.  swim in a lake (which we did daily!)

8.  eat fresh Ontario peaches 

10.  have a campfire

11.  sit on a dock in the sunshine

12.  go to the cottage

14.  see M & V
