Vacation time! Day 6!

In the morning we headed into the bigger little town for some errands.  Roy and I had found some baggies of Canadian coins in various boxes and drawers at home, so we brought them for the kids to spend.  They increased their spending power by returning cans and bottles to the liquor store and grocery store.  And then we took them to the dollar store to spend all their money - except the super shiny Loonies they got because they wanted to keep those forever.

Riley bought herself a new pink purse, a blue and white tutu with stars and moons on it, a pink skipping rope, and some stickers.


Leighton chose a sticker book, a sports trivia game, some binoculars, and a pair of Canadian flag sunglasses.



I also treated us to some Canadian flag solar lights to bring home for the plants around the pool!

We walked down to The Hut for a treat and stopped for some pictures in the deli pig along the way.



On my to-do list while we were visiting - a root beer milkshake at The Hut!









My mom suggested we walk back to the car along the lake instead of on Main Street.  Even though Riley began the walk by declaring it, "So so so so so booooring," we had lots of fun looking at flowers (Leighton's favorite was the Tiger Lillies and Riley liked anything pink or purple, of course).





Roy enjoyed the view of the lake.


And we had some fun trying to get photos of the four of us together.




After we got home, the last of our group arrived - Uncle Alan, Aunt Susan, and Uncle Nick.  We spent the afternoon with some sprinklers in the yard …





Some chillin on the porch ….


Isn't this the creepiest picture ever?  Ew - eyeballs!  He looks like a character out of Sleepy Hollow or something!


some Yahtzee at the picnic table …



And a little badminton.
