Summer Vacation at Nana and Grandad's - July 12 to July 29, 2010

For the next couple of weeks we are in NOTL at Nana and Grandad's.  In this blog entry there are photos of our stay there.  The kids got to visit their cousins (aka "The Green Boyz"), play some golf, swim and play at the beach.

Dinghy rides with Grandad.

Lots of fun with Meghan and Nolan coming over.  Grandad was very brave taking the 6 of them out for a dinghy ride! :)

Attempted a geocache, we were able to find all the clues and where the final spot was supposed to be but out of luck when it came to finding the actual cache. :(  The boys found some feathers and thought it would be neat to try to write with them.

We were able to get in a couple of sailing days.  We even did a day of anchoring in the lake and jumping off and swimming.  What fun.

Grandad put us to work bottling some wine.  :)  The kids and I had fun helping out.  Put your back into it Patrick! :)

Auntie took the kids for a snark ride with the new pink sail.  Boy o Boy did that sail glowwwww.  :)

So we had an awesome couple of weeks of relaxing, playing, swimming at Nana and Grandad's.  Off to Dacre for a final visit and to pick up Wayne.

Summer Vacation at Oma and Poppa's - June 27 to July 12, 2010

We had a busy summer visiting everyone.   Here are a few snapshots of some of our activities.  Below are pictures of Poppa taking us to the top of Calabogie Peaks.  What a view!!

We also did a bunch of geocaching with Oma and Poppa.  Poppa is very good at finding the caches.  :)

We decided to go to the top of the Peaks again to watch the July 1st fireworks.  What a sight!  We could see them going off on the horizon from Ottawa to Pembroke.  We also caught a beautiful sunset and man was it freezing.

Another day of geocaching with Oma and Poppa.

On our way to visit Uncle Mike and Tanta Dean at their campsite - we stopped to geocache *grin* and have a picnic.

At Uncle Mike and Tanta Dean's campsite.  What a wonderful afternoon visiting and had dogs over the campfire.  YUMMY!!!

Spent the afternoon with Marie in her pool! :)  A wonderful time visiting, swimming, sliding in and water fights.

An afternoon at Uncle Mike and Tanta Dean's place.  The girls went for a pedicure.  Samantha's first.  We had a lot of fun.

The kids on the mini quad bikes having fun at Oma and Poppa's.  The bikes got their workout during the weeks we were there.  :)  Check out Samantha's girlie (pink) helmet!!

Near the end of our first stay in Dacreville we had the Kuiken reunion campout.  It was awesome seeing everyone (We really missed you, Em and Seth - maybe next year).  It started out that we had to setup in the rain, again (3 years in a row :( ) but the weekend ended up being beautiful.  We had fun exploring the beach and campground, playing with Luke, chatting with everyone and having some bonfires.

We had an awesome and action packed two weeks at Oma and Poppa's.  Now we are off to catch the train down to NOTL for a couple of weeks with Nana and Grandad.
