A Week Up North

We enjoyed a week up at Grandma and Grandpa Hyland's.  It was a great way to wind down Kerry's maternity leave (she goes back Friday, 7/7/17).  We started the trip by celebrating some birthday's.  Isaac took Matt Ironside out to lunch, and we had dinner and cake with Uncle John.  Lucy enjoyed a lot of wildlife, a treasure hunt, driving the boat, a visit to Auntie Lou and Uncle Cooky's, paddleboarding with Mom and Dad, and splashing in the lake.  She was also gifted the original (1992?) Hyland Pelican Paddleboat.  While Lucy was enamored with it, she was frustrated that she couldn't reach the pedals.  Luckily on our voyage, a family of ducks interrupted her tantrum.  Charlie also enjoyed the trip.  He laid around the most, but that's what 11 week olds do.  Laying locations included the kitchen table, the hammock and on the dock in an infant tent.

 Sully, yes Sully, swimming in the water to "save" us.  
 Lucy's first paddleboard ride.  She preferred sitting, as when she stood, she didn't quite understand the concept of staying in the middle of the board.  No one fell in, but there were some close calls.
 Lucy, at Auntie Lou and Uncle Cooky's, having fun with Tom!

 Yes, Charlie was also there.  



 Lucy enjoyed driving the boat with Grandpa and looking for loons with Grandma.

 Splashing!  Stay tuned for a video of Grandpa nailing Lucy in the face with water!
 Lucy was ready to hop in!
