Wine Lover's Unite

Well what would a week of work be without a trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake to stock up on some favorite wines and find some new ones too.

Lailey vineyards is hands down our favorite, We bought an entire case there. Here are some photos from today from around the vineyards (Peller estate and Lailey)

Back from Cape Cod

What a much needed vacation. We had the best time. I took almost 800 photos so it took me a little bit to get some ready to post (don't worry I won't bore you with hundreds of my photos. Just a couple of faves)

I'm trying out Jessica Sprague's technique for making a photo pop. This was my attempt on a cute photo of JJ on Canada Day.

JJ's new hat

pretty snazzy isn't it??

Out enjoying our summer.

Some of the kids favorite things to do are the things that don't cost a cent. We decided to take the dogs down to the river to swim off some of their energy. They kids ended up all wanting to come and then it turned into a picnic.

We saw giant fish at the bottom of the dam and a ton of wildflowers and butterflies and "spikys" and precious stones.

Quite and adventure....Did the guys feel let down by this day?

of course not. Grandpa Bud showed up for dinner in his BMW and after lots of begging he let the guys take it out for a spin.

He really is my child

some days I can totally see myself in JJ. Hmm laying in the hammock swing eating an ice cream in the shade on one of the hottest days of the summer.

Too bad he took my chair. I had to stand....

HAPPY CANADA DAY

ok so I'm late. Well I'm just late with posting my pics. JJ and I had a blast just the 2 of us for Canada Day. We went to Bingeman's water park for the late afternoon until it closed at 8 ten got changed and watched the fireworks they had at the park. it was nice and close to home plus JJ ran into a friend from school so he had some one to play with the whole time.
