Party at Shepard Lake

Ok, so this is a picture from last year at my friend MaryAnn and Mikes's place. I didn't take any good pictures of the house this year. They live up near Sauble Beach Ontario. Yearly in July we are having a get together at their house with all of our girlfriends from high school. I missed the first year since I was at home on bedrest. We made it last year and this year. There were 8 of us girls with our husbands(minus Phia's Nick who fishes at this time every year) and all of our kids(17 total). So how could we not have fun???? We did have fun. The older kids looked after the younger ones so that allowed the adults to relax a little bit. This is a picture from the deck of the house. Some of us got rooms in the house(that would be me), some people brought their trailers, some tents, some slept in the bunk house. It all works out.
This is Reid and Elsie off with Megan and Sarah. They were great babysitters for the weekend.
All of the kids love to fish in the lake. Friday night the fish were biting so fast that the guys couldn't get the fish off fast enough. Elsie and Reid were very intrigued by the fish. Of course I don't have the picture, but Reid was kissing the fish. By the time I got the camera out, they were done.
This is my favorite pic from the weekend. This is Justin with Reid sitting down by the water. I'm not sure what they are doing, but they look like they are having fun. Deep in conversation or something. They're probably looking for frogs or fish.
MaryAnn also has a pool. So both kids went swimming again. They had a lot of fun.
Mommy got to lounge on the deck for most of the time while the girls watched the kids.
Elsie was a little nature girl. Here she is getting ready to touch a frog.
Thank you to Mike and MaryAnn for hosting a great weekend again. Can't wait until next year!!!!
