Weekend At Granny & Grandpa's

Well we had the whole gang here this weekend. What a terrific, noisy time we had too. Shortly after arriving, while the outside temperature was 9C the brave ones in the lot decided to go swimming. Here's a picture of Jonathon, Rob and Devon in the freezing waters of our spring-fed lake.

Jamie, being wise, after short deliberation, decided being cool (and cold!) wasn't that important, so he rethought the swimming idea and stayed on the dock, with the sensible folk. Sascha, however, felt that it was worth the pain to be cool, so Rob caught him as he took the plunge and the cold water took his breath away.

Here's the chilly bunch after their swim, bragging of their absolute reign of coolness. You can't tell by this picture that only moments before they were all shrieking and gasping! Apparently the air didn't seem so cold after the swim.

After getting dried off, Grandpa took them out in the sailboat. This was a picture of a gust of wind when Devon, Jamie & Sascha were out. They got some pretty good rides. Although it looks as if they're tipping, they're not, they're just getting a good ride.

W hile they were out in the boat, Gavin decided that he really wanted to paddle his feet in the water, so he spent quite a bit of time with his feet in the water. He really wanted to go swimming I think, but it will be better for him to wait for July or August.

I've tried putting on a picture of Jamie Rob & Sascha, but it doesn't seem to want to work. Next post.
