C-A-N-A-D-A eh?
After our Michigan vacation we flew straight to Canada to visit Mommy's family.
The first thing we did was meet at Whitney Lake for dinner (in Canada, it's called "supper" ) and dipped our toes in the water.
Later that week, we held a belated reception for Mommy and Daddy's marriage. It was fun to meet all of my aunts, uncles, and many cousins.
(Pictured above: (back row) Leith & Nathan, Joni & Scott, Maggie, Stewart & Becky, Ben & Jenn (front row) Avrey, Grandma holding Quynn, Grandpa holding Jesse, Jena, and Keeleigh)
Who belongs to who???
-Uncle Stewart & Auntie Becky
Maggie (13 yrs old), Jena (10 yrs old), and Keeleigh (8 yrs old)
-Uncle Ben & Auntie Jenn
Jesse (8 months old)
After the party Jena and Keeleigh came to Grandma's house to stay with us while Maggie was away at church camp. We had so much fun!
We went swimming at the pool.
We played with sidewalk chalk.
We painted everyone's toe nails and finger nails (even Grandpa's).
We jumped through the sprinkler (it was really HOT).
Some other fun things that we did in Canada...
Rode the waterslides!
Put on a 'Grumpy Princess Play'.
Visited Vegreville (a large Ukranian settlement, hence the massive Ukranian Easter egg).
Mommy says that the warm summer sun sure helped us grow...
The last part of our visit was very EXCITING because Auntie Leith and Uncle Nathan had their baby. It was a little girl and they named her Harper!
Can't wait to see Baby Harper again at Christmas time.

Michigan Vacation
We went to Michigan at the beginning of July to meet Grammy's family. She has eleven siblings, which means a bunch of aunts, uncles, and cousins for us to play with!
We stayed in a beach house that was about fifty yards from Lake Michigan. We loved the warm water and playing in the sun-kissed sand.
Mommy liked walking the beach with Avrey and helping her find cool treasures like feathers and sticks.
Daddy taught Avrey how to jump the waves and enjoyed scaring Mommy half to death by throwing her WAY UP HIGH in the air and then catching her just before she hit the water (while Avrey giggled the entire time).
Quynn went to the beach too. She even went into the water a few times but mostly she slept because it was pretty hot!
We loved meeting all our Walenga relatives (although we don't yet have any photographs to share with you) and we had a blast at Lake Michigan. Can't wait to visit again!
