Georgian Bay

To get a break from the Texas heat after we had been here about two weeks so headed up north to Canada for a wonderful family vacation with family friends, the Maags, at their Georgian Bay cottage north of Toronto.  I remember going here when I was younger, and I couldn't wait to share it with Richard and the kids. 
Getting ready for a kayak trip with daddy
 

Kate with nana and nana's longest friend, Heather

Kate loved all the lawn chairs and playing outside for 4 days - no bugs even!
We took a great day trip on the pontoon boat - Brooks loved it!  We stopped for ice cream and lemonade, and Brooks thought he was the captain!
Kate actually loved wearing the life jacket and wanted it on all week.

The kids fought over these little binoculars all week (and really thought they should look in the big end!)

Henry's "tractor" - the biggest hit of the trip.  Brooks was king of the cottage getting to drive the boats and the tractor with Mr. Henry.

A family game of croquet - we used to play this when I was little at the cottage. 


Brooks gave concerts every night and let us all in singing his favorites - Itsy Bitsy Spider and Tiny Tim.
 
Thank you Heather & Henry for a wonderful visit - we loved all the relaxing and adventures!
