Although Oliver was more than willing to lend a helping hand, the builders seem to have things well under control. What builders, you ask? The builders of our family friends the Andrews' wicked new lakehouse in Quebec! A short drive from Ottawa and you are in a peaceful and secluded piece of heaven, surrounded by water and trees as far as you can see. The house is coming together really nicely and will be such a great place for Ron and Menna to get away from it all, as well as host friends (like us!) and family on a regular basis. The plans looked great and the structure is living up to them, with big picture windows and a beautiful deck and sunroom to make the place complete. We look forward to many fun times there in the future, but we already had the chance to get our first look (and first party!) and we are hooked. Gran and Grandpa got to check things out as well as we shared an awesome picnic on the deck with Ron and Menna and the affianced Matt and Rhiannon. We also got to fit in an inaugural swim and kayak, hopefully the first of many! We are so appreciative of our friends, who already do so much for us year-round, even acting as babysitters and surrogate parents when the need arises! To have a place like this nearby and to have a standing invitation to visit means the world to us and our little ones. Oliver and Isabelle will be forever thankful for the opportunity. Congrats, Ron and Menna, on the progress towards your dream lakehouse!
Is there a more perfect place for a party?
The swimming phenom out in the open water with Grandpa. She sure has enjoyed having him and Gran nearby the past couple of weeks!
Oliver and Mommy relax on the floating platform. The boy can't wait to get in the water and mix it up just like his sister. Look out next summer!
Kayaking cutiepie relaxes as Grandpa steers her into port. In the future, she will be able to take her own kayak out for a spin either at the lakehouse or even on the canal. Peace and quiet for all involved!
This doesn't look so hard. See you guys in a few hours!
Cutest little wader ever. The water was nice and warm and there were lots of stones for Oliver to grab and toss around. He had a blast!
All smiles for our sweetie. Who could be unhappy hanging out with friends and family and swimming to their heart's content?
