isabelle of the ball: Hanging Out

It's been awesome to have Gran and Grandpa here visiting the past few days. So much to do, so much to see! The weather has been perfect so far and we took advantage of a quiet weekday to head over the bridge to Lac Leamy on the Quebec side, a nice little treasure that has a great beach and is the perfect place to spend an afternoon in the sun and shade, especially since there were very few others in attendance! Isabelle discovered some monkeybars that were just the right height for her and was focused on seeing how far she could get. With some tips from her Grandpa on how to get better grip by getting sand all over her hands, she was ready and did an awesome job. She is so close to getting all the way to the end! Although clouding over, it was still a great day to be outside and active. Every day is hard to top, as yesterday was jam-packed as well. We started with brunch at the Marche (Isabelle's fav!), then we met Logan at the movies to see Winnie the Pooh (all 3 kids loved it!), then home for a BBQ and a nice surprise for Grandpa, Uncle Phil was there to allow him to take the Porsche 911 for a spin! He thoroughly enjoyed, although seemed disappointed he didn't take it over 120! We entertained new baby Kayla and Logan and their parents, plus parents-to-be Matt and Rhiannon too, followed by the traditional Sunday trip for gelato. Always a packed agenda when people visit, and none of us would have it any other way. Someday things will cool down and we will wonder where everybody went! For now, we are having fun and the kids are loving that people other than Mom and Dad is around all day long!

Perfect spot for a picnic
