Wow, it's been a while since I've posted!!! We just got back on Saturday from a 2 week vacation up near Huntsville. We went to a cottage resort called Dayspring. We rented a cottage with Jeff's parents the first week and Bob and Mary the second week. The drive up was pretty long, we left our house at 6:30am, stopped 2 times and got to the cottage at 4:00pm. The girls were really good for the whole trip, I made sure to bring lots of cookies and lots of DVD's to keep them entertained. The drive home wasn't quite as long, we left the cottage at 10:15am and got home around 7:00pm. The weather was pretty good, it only rained a couple of days and it wasn't too hot except for a couple of days. We did lots of fishing, boating, playing in the sand and relaxing! We went shopping to Huntsville a couple of times and took a day trip to Dorset. It was really nice to be up there for 2 weeks. When we got home, it felt like I was walking around someone else's house cause I got so used to living in the cottage! It was nice to get home to our house though. I really missed my own shower!!! Alright, time for the pictures!!! I'm sorry there are so many, it was really hard to choose! We took over 500 pictures so these are only a few!!
Jeff with his Father's Day present,
a stepping stone that we made for him!
Me (before my nice tan!), Juliana & Kayla on the beach.
There was a canopy over part of it so it was nice for the kids.

(Sorry there was a fingerprint on the lens,
so it's kinda blurry!)
The owners of the resort had a beautiful dog named Bailey.
He didn't care when Juliana was playing with his
ears or poking him. He just layed there!
Kayla & Juliana with Grampa Bob.
Kayla and I fishing!
The girls in their bathing suits!! Too cute!!!

Kayla was a brave little girl and jumped off the dock into my arms!
It was really fun!

Kayla standing up and driving the boat!!
She loved to do this and she would always sing her abc's while driving.
Kayla and "Grampa Bob" leaning over the deck.
Our room in the cottage while we were packing up.
It was surprisingly big, lots of room to move around.
This is the girls room. I put the play pen up for Jules,
there was just enough room for it!
The kitchen in the cottage. The little hallway
to the left is where our room is.
The living room in the cottage. The right door was where the girls slept.
Another picture of the living room.
The view from our bedroom window. Not bad!
The tree was kinda in the way but not too badly.
We stopped at a Wendy's in Barrie and had lunch on the way home.
A fun little picnic to end the wonderful vacation!
Another picture of the picnic.
