Samuel Takes the Bronze Medal

August 4, 2012
Our water boy enjoyed trying out his new water pistol and the hose at the cottage on the Saturday of the August long weekend. He loved being on the dock and at the beach. He was very interested in examining a large bass caught by Tony and Terry.

He helped Grandpa make fresh raspberry ice cream for lunch. He had his cone ready to go.

After a long nap, it was time to join the annual horseshoe tournment at the Tims'. He went straight to the beach where he played with Seb and tried a shrimp.



Then he and Seb tried horseshoes. The "Olympic" winners of the day were Kirk and Alice (gold), Sandy and Barrrett (silver) and Samuel (bronze).

Time for the fish dinner... and bubbles...  and cupcakes.

And, finally, a walk to his car as it was getting dark - time to head for home.

Anniversary and Birthday Celebrations

July 27 & 30, 2012

When Barbara, Grandpa and Uncle Grant dropped in for a visit on the their way to the cottage, Friday, July 27, Samuel was busy helping move wood his Papa had split. He and Karine checked out a "bibit" that was resting on one of the logs. He tried some chopping  himself. He gave us all a goodbye hug and went up on his deck for supper.

On the way home from the cottage, Monday, July 30, we all had a good time watching the new log splitter at work.

 Then Grandpa, Boots, Barbara and Sam went for a good walk together, down to the Gatineau River. The bateaux were popular.

Back home, it was time to celebrate Barbara's birthday - she appreciated a beautiful homemade (by Sam) card  and cheesecake ( by Kirk).

After an anniversary photo, Maman and Papa went out to Les Fougères to celebrate their first anniversary.

Samuel enjoyed an active playtime with Uncle Grant until it was storytime and bedtime. A sleepy boy...
