Monday at Thunder Cove

Football ben!

The boys (MacNeills and Pendletons) at Thunder Cove!

Ben running ahead of the "gang!"

The rest running in.

Playing on the sand dunes with Drew.

Aspen and Sam played a lot together.

Thomas running.  You gotta love the beaches when the boys can run and run.  Now that even thunder cove is almost empty of tourists, you can really let them run and play.  What a surprisingly nice last day on the beach!! (I thought it would have been too cold but it really was hot!)  

Long Weekend

Sheila helps the kids get supper ready.
Mama runs the Prince County Hospital Run.

Saturday the MacNeills head for a bike ride around Cavendish Park.

The boys getting directions.

Thomas riding his bike with PJs and gloves.

Getting on to busier roads.

Sunday is a day of working at the shed with papa.

Ben builds a catapult while the rest look on.

Tom and Sam love the trailer ramps (that are locked into place).

Look at my hammer.

Matt on the lawn mower.

Matt showing Sam how to throw the airplane.

Thomas after a good airplane throw.

Tractor ride and more carrots that Thomas ate all morning from the garden.

New Rooms!

Sushi to celebrate the older boys up at the cottage with gramma and the family for a few nights!! 

Matt is now in his own room and proud of it!

Ben is super excited to have his own space too!  (Perhaps it is time to go back to school??)

Bike riding in the house.

Sam with his helmet and "mask"!  Hope everyone is enjoying the last week off!  Thanks to everyone at the cottage for hosting Matt and Ben.  They loved it!

Cabot Beach

Now that Matt and Ben are at the cottage and we no longer have visitors (which we do miss), mama and the younger boys went to get groceries and then promptly went to Cabot beach to enjoy a hot day!  



Thomas takes a picture!

Can't believe how many sandbars there are at Cabot this year!  The kids loved it.

Tom and Sam like to play "all by themselves!" They were giggling non stop!  What a beautiful day.  (Papa spent the day working on the frame to hold up a huge stainless steel water tank that will collect water from the shed roof to water mama's garden.  Mama is pretty lucky.)   The MacNeills.

Busy Sunday!

Ben's Birthday Party at Johney's Dairy Bar was a lot of fun.  Kids played tag and "toilet tag" waiting for everyone to arrive!

Who will be it?  Paper, scissors , rocks!!

Ben loves to mini golf!

Sam tries as well.

The boys all have fun, kind of like watching boys play hockey but they loved it.

Score!

This is a blue lego crystal cake that Ben wanted for his birthday.  Caramel cake.

Funny faces!

Present time!

More fun before they went home again!

Off to Chelton Beach.  Not sure why we have not been here with the kids before.  

Even papa had fun at this beach.

We found a ton of hermit crabs and filled a bucket with them.


The waves were also fun to play in.  Papa, Tom and Matt and playing with Les and the Pendleton boys and Dan.  Boys so love the waves.

Warming up after.

Look at me stuff my sun shirt full of sand... over and over again!

Then to the Campbell's house for a BarBQ! The kids love the backyard.  

Tom and Sam run like crazy.

Ben invents... this.

We all eat steak, lamb burgers (really tasty !!) lots of garden veggies and strawberries and some yummy salads.  If only we could have stayed for the sunday ice cream bar!! (That is what happens when we run out of time and the older boys have a date with gramma that they don't want to miss.  Thank you gramma, the boys are so excited to be at the cottage with you and Dale!! )  Last was soccer for mama.  What a full and fun day!  Thank you to everyone!  The MacNeills.
