Who Knew Bambi Would Be So Good?

Today was a full day. Full of fun and full of food! (Again!)

Chris went out for coffee this morning. When he got back we were tossing around the idea of going to Blue Lake to the beach again. We talked to Cindy and she was planning to go with the kids and Christine and Keith and their kids too. So we ran around all over the place and got everything ready and bought munchies and lunch and stuff and headed out.

We got there by around 1:30 or so. We spent the afternoon enjoying the sun and water again, and the company of our cousins and all our kids. It was partly cloudy but cleared up as the day progressed. Cooper went for a little float in his little boat again, but mostly enjoyed sitting in the water and splashing. He must have sat there for at least half an hour with me. He loves to grab a handful of sand and let it run through his fingers, taking the odd little nibble of it. Carter is quite the 'water baby' now and gets right in, except for his head.



My cousin Mike (the gadget KING) had a great sunshade tent that he and Chris set up for the babies. Here's a picture of Cooper playing in it, and of Cooper and Ethan snoozing in it. It came in really handy and folds up into a tidy little carrying bag.

Around 5:30 everyone was packing it in. Cindy asked us to come for supper; Christine and Keith were going too. They're leaving for Brampton in the morning so we wanted to have one last visit. We drove to Cindy's and there was a beautiful feast prepared. Seasoned, oven-roasted potatoes, a hyuge fruit tray with dip, Caesar salad, cucumber salad, and...an awesome meat and mushroom gravy dish. I coyly asked what kind of meat I was thoroughly enjoying eating, and was only semi-surprised I was told said it was venison. OMG. I just ate Bambi. And Bambi was goooooooood. That was the first time I'd eaten and enjoyed deer without gagging and spewing.

After supper the kids went outside and played in the pool. Chris and the guys went to Pete's place for a visit. When Chris came back we packed it in and said our goodbyes to Christine and Keith and the kids. God only knows when we'll all get together again. Hopefully before our babies graduate! So, another fun-filled, sunny yummy summer day. Here's another video of Cooper playing in the water...he was in a little further this time.

By the way, a big Happy 2nd Birthday to my Godson Graeme! Can't wait 'til you come back to Dryden! (Auntie Lurdes, if you're reading this, I haven't forgotten about the stroller! Have a great day at work - it's the weekend - Love you!)
