Northern Shore of Lake Erie in Ontario, Canada

Nana was given a week at a really nice Cottage just outside of the Rondeau Provincial Park in Ontario as a reward from the clinic that helped her to get well again.

Nana with Nick, Ty, Madison, Taylor and Lily (Taylor's friend from home):

Joe was extremely tired from carrying all of those boxes (uphill both ways I might add)

The Challey clan in all their zany glory:

Kids enjoying the Hammock during the very short period that Dad's butt was not firmly planted in it:

Feeding the animals ... I mean children ... outside. Joe stands by with a child swatter (or was that a fly swatter?):

Ty and Austin seemed to be enjoying their naked spaghetti (sans sauce):

The beach was amazing with very clear (and cold) water and beautiful sand:

Ty was doing his best to avoid having his photo taken and actually gave me a great "action" shot instead!

Next we were off to the local zoo, the kids on a bear facsimile while the genuine article walks behind them:

Michelle trying to get this talking bird to speak (it never did ... must not have liked her or something)

Two elk or reindeer at the zoo:

The kids got to enjoy a small fun park that was attached to the zoo ... some action shots of them on the glider:

Next on to mini golf a short walk away from the cottage ... 1 scoop of ice cream was $1.50 ... 2 scoops of ice cream was $2.00 ... 3 scoops of ice cream was $2.00 ... 4 scoops of ice cream was $2.00 ... only in Canada, eh?
