Dan and Jules come to visit at VB!

Yeah - the kids are here!

Their day or arrival was lovely, and we walked on the beach - Dan's first time here since 2010,

and Jules' first visit ever!

I'm so glad to have my boy here!

PJ's really happy to have her buddy here too!

Family time abounds, as Dan and Jules get to catch up with Dan's grandparents!

And the Dads are having fun too!

An engineering feat is required as the 7 of us play trains - how to get around the Mexican train - very creative!

And lots of fun!

Dan and Vic played Paul Bunyans and chopped down some of the trees around the cottage

after 3 days of rain!

The tall and mighty Daniel!!

A cucumber and baby cabbage from my cottage garden! Very tasty!!

On the way to the beach after 3 nights of rain

For another glorious VB sunset

our happy beach babe

It's already sad because they leave tomorrow - 5 days go by too quickly! :(

But it's been a lovely visit

Until next summer hopefully!

More family fun times in an awesome place - Victoria Beach, Manitoba

My Mom and Dad rent their own cottage just a few blocks from ours for August!

Giving us all space, but proximity

and the opportunity to share some more fun times as a family

Alexis and I saskatoon picking! Somewhat precarious, but one must add to the adventure!

And nothing beats the smiley face cookies, EXCEPT a 

GIANT smiley face cookie :)

and home made bread with crazy swirly straws

And our super male models displaying what used to be washboard stomachs, now maybe not quite so much,

except Sam :)

And our beautiful piece of Lake Winnipeg

with its lovely white sand beaches

with amazing sunsets

P.J.'s paradise!

Ah summer!
