Cherries!!

We bought the rights to a cherry tree this year, through Cherrybrook Farms (http://www.cherrybrookfarms.ca/42.html and http://cherrybrookfarms.blogspot.com/)

We just had to book a time to come pick our tree, when the cherries were ripe, and this year they were about 2 weeks late in ripening. We weren't sure if we would be able to pick and deal with the cherries before we leave for Ontario.

Yummy Cherries!
Elyse was really good about eating cherries that she picked off the tree and spitting the pits out onto the ground

Elyse "helping" me pick

Scott up the ladder picking

The results of an hour of picking - I never did get the shirt completely clean

We were told that each crate holds about 25 lbs
Lots of work to do once we get home!

Just Another Day at Honeymoon

Our View!!

Elyse relaxing on the beach


Elyse and I "swimming"  More like splashing around


Elyse loves to jump off the back of Don & Sue's boat! As long as you are there to catch her


Elyse Loves Flowers

The Flowers are Phlox that I got from my Grandma's Garden, and she got them from Great Auntie Marg's Garden. The flowers seem to like all the nice Creston weather, as they are doing great!

A Visit with Scott's Cousin and Her Family

Scott's cousin Jen and her family stopped by for dinner. They were on their way through town, on their way to Yellowstone. Aidan and Elyse loved playing together, they got along very well. It was great to visit with Jen and Rob.
Having fun, playing with Elyse's kitchen

They loved hugging each other
More *Hugs*

Aidan was very helpful with Elyse

Aidan was very interested in what was under neith Elyse's skirt

This was the only photo I got all evening where the 2 of them were actually looking somewhat at the camera

Pigtails

I thought I might try putting pigtails in Elyse's hair this morning.
They turned out great and she was super cute!

Super Cute Miss E

I got Elyse to hold still to take photos by letting her watch TV.
This is the fit that she through when the camera and I got between her and her cartoon

Elyse Loves Raspberries

Elyse gets to spend a couple days a month with Laurie, Robert and their dog Bandit while Scott and I are at work. She always has so much fun at their house. They have a fantastic yard for Elyse to play in and a great garden to dig in too!


"Helping" Laurie pick Raspberries

Yummy!

No more one by one, Elyse is going for the whole bucket

Raspberries by the Handful!

Just hanging out in the Garden

Sleeping Babies at Honeymoon Beach

We met up with our friends Brad and Carolyn at honeymoon beach today.  We swapped kids during wakeboarding and tubing outings.  While Leanne was looking after Alina, Elyse got really jealous and they both snuggled in.  Before you know it they were both asleep!

Helping Do Dishes

Elyse's latest thing that she has to do is help with the dishes.  There is lots of splashing but not much cleaning going on.....

A Day on the Beach

The water level on the lake is starting to drop, and there is actually some beach available to park the boat.  We spent the day at Twin Bays.  Elyse loved to play in the sand, and we had a nice visit with Patty and Tom.

Lunch on the Boat

We went out on the boat today, just for a cruise because there is still too much wood around for Scott to wakeboard.  Here is a shot of Elyse enjoying her lunch.
