All photos by Erika & Justin

While on vacation up north in August for a couple of weeks Erika had her digital Sony with her. Both Justin and her really got into it one day when visiting a beautiful spot called The Lower Goose? Erika took some interesting photos and then posed for Justin as he snapped away.

With almost 3 weeks of downtime from daycare… what better place to recharge and give kids from the city some good old bush time. Everything you did, I did and we all wished we did as a child happened on Justin & Erika’s Summer Vacation. Spending time with Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and grandparents is unparalleled for childhood memories. Camping, bonfires, firworks, fishing, swimming, boating, tubing, 4-wheelers, new friends, late-nights and on and on… We are so lucky to have family and places like this visit and build foundations of creativity, laughter and magic for our children.

What a great weekend for Justin and Erika. We went to see Papere and some of our cousins almost 5 hours from home. We had tons of fun with fireworks, bonfires, swimming and boatrides. Justin drove the boat and Erika caught some fish. We all had a big fish fry and enjoyed the trees and water….but those mosquito’s wouldn’t leave us alone! Oh ya and Papere took us for a ride on his 4 wheeler bike.

Here is a short Video Clip of Justin cruising in the boat with Papere

A great month for both Erika and Justin for activities. They had a small school recital and that is Erika sitting on the stage after the show in the center photo. The whole family laced up skates for the first time and had some fun at watching Justin try skating and Erika took off like a natural after conquering roller blading last summer. The Christmas snapshots are the kids at their mom’s yearly Christmas party for the kids. Then you have uncle Steph visiting and presenting Justin with an awesome Transformers Bike for next summer… and maybe the next 5 or 6 summers
