Gracie's cottage

Our tradition of going to Gracie's cottage to help put in the dock and the shore station continued this year!  The weather was absolutely beautiful this year (I think we are finally past the rain storm curse that seemed to follow us there) and their shore station was already put in, so the boys just had to put in the dock!  :)  I learned how to turn a garden which was fun, but hard work!  I have an appreciation for all those farmers that did their fields by hand.  It was a great day of hanging out and just being with friends.  Got a little sunburned.. but totally worth it.  :)

When we got there their telescope was set up on this Momma Loon with her babies

Happy Momma and her girlies

She's adorbs

Papa taking them out for a little paddle boat ride

Lucy wanted another ride with Momma

Saw this turtle just making his way across the lawn

A little early for kayaking... but they did make it to the water haha

Norah loved this little tub!

Dude trying to catch some fish

Lucy was so tired so I took the hardship of laying in the hammock with her

After we woke her up she didn't really want to be up so she snugged in the chair a little bit more. :)

OMG sun burn.  I remember to put sunscreen on the kids but apparently forgot myself...

I didn't realize that I was burned until my neck started itching... oops...
