Talk about a near perfect day! On Sunday June 30 (right before Canada Day) I got to spend time with each of my kids doing something special with each at the cottage.
Zac and I went for a canoe trip from the cottage to Norland (about 10 km). The winds were behind us and the current carried us wonderfully! Along the way we spotted lots of cool stuff - including this Heron. Our trip ended with a great lunch at the Riverside Inn in Norland (Fish and Chips - yummy!).
In the afternoon Hannah and I went out on the pontoon boat for a casual cruise. Along the way we encountered this loon who was preening himself in between fishing dives. I let Hannah gingerly pilot the boat closer to the loon while I frantically snapped pictures (like Humming Birds and mushrooms - I never tire of taking pictures of Loons).
After a delicious meal of Ribs and Wings (and Grandpa's coleslaw), Joel and I set up for the evening finale! Joel is big fan of things that go boom and I was a very willing assistant. The picture does not do justice to the fun we had lighting up the night sky.
Af the end of a day like this it is impossible to not feel very blessed. Not only do I have amazing kids - but they actually seem to enjoy doing stuff with their old man.
