Here's Oona diving at the end of our point. Watching is her best cottage friend Owen. Oona came down alone every day to do partial early morning laps with me. Sophie is every ready for mischief as Kiefer tells her, "No no no we're not allowed." Baby Erik slept a lot and was the biggest angel of all. Oona was very interested in bugs and caterpillars and watched with great wonder as 2 Monarch butterfly caterpillars unfolded and hatched from their chrysalis, dried their wings and flew into the pine trees to ready for their flight to Mexico.

Rainy Day

We have had very few rainy days, but on this one we poured hot water from the sauna into the little pool for an out door bath. We visited cousins up the channel for fishing in their back bay and then a crazy ride on the 'Jumbo Dog.'

Regatta

Oona and her best friend Owen are in the 6 person canoe (white one) race and their boat won! Then tubing with Owen, cool swim and finally a quiet game of chess with grandad.

New Toys

This little sailboat is called a Mirror - English designed but assembled in Canada. Alex found it on the net and Chris hauled it to our cottage. Perfect for kids learning to sail . Rob is a musician freind of Sonja's that came for a visit and formed a little band and sang songs to the kids. Kiefer's favourite Bithday present is the ukele his daddy gave him. Kiefer sleeps with the ukele right next to him.

Gorgeous George

Oona picked these daisies for her princess crown. Finally connected to the net up here in the north, but very iffy. Fishin' swimmin' and hangin' out with Sophie.
