Canada Day 2008

Despite some less than stellar weather we packed up and headed to the cottage for the weekend. Even though it's only 20 minutes away, you just feel like your "away" when you're there. Mark and I have always enjoyed escaping to the cottage and it seems like Reese is right there with us. It's endlessly entertaining there for her.....birds, flowers, water, rocks.....what more could a girl ask for? We headed to the Canada Day festivites at a local park, but truth be told, it was just plain old overwhelming for poor Reese and she unfortunatley had a number of *meltdowns.* Can you really expect a 2 yr old to wait in line  for 15 minutes to go on a ride?! She had the best of intentions of riding a pony until she was up close and personal......no way was she getting on that horsey's back! Needless to say, we headed back to the cottage to enjoy the simpler things.....birds, flowers, water and rocks! A quieter Canada Day than usual, but enjoyable nonetheless! Here are a few gems from the weekend:

Mark has a picture of he and his brother in the same pose when they were kids. Don't ask me how he managed to get them both to smile!

 Happy camper at the playground.

 

I think she's saying "What the $#^/{*:?"

Cooling off in her pool:)
