Happy 2nd Birthday Meg!

It is hard to believe that our little Meg is 2 years old today! We had a great day. She started the day with "pick a muffin" at Tim Horton's which she loves, then we went to Chudleigh's Apple Farm where she went on a hay ride, rode a pony, ate some apples and played. She ended her second birthday with dinner with Grandma/Grandad McLaughlin, Grandma Kathi, Miriam and Rosa. Happy Birthday Meg! We love you!

Meg loved the petting zoo 

Meg played house in the little barn and got mommy, daddy and grandma a cup of sand coffee

Our Little Liberace

At a birthday party on the weekend Meg fell in love with the birthday boy's baby, baby grand piano.

Cottage Living

It's no secret that Nathan and I dream of owning a cottage one day. But before that day arrives we have been renting a cottage each summer. This summer we were on Belmont Lake near Havelock. We had beautiful weather for September with the peace and quiet of everyone being back at school.

Beautiful sunset view from the cottage

Meg swam every day. It wasn't easy getting her out of the water!

Grandma McLaughlin brought watermelon. Mmmm!

Camping with "fwends"

Back in July we had our annual camping trip with the Turner's. This year we went to MacGregor Provincial Park and we had lots of fun. By the end of the weekend Meg was an emotional wreck due to limited sleep but all in all we had a good time and Meg enjoyed spending time with her "fwends". Every time one of us said Kevin's name Meg would say "eight, nine.." She thinks his name is seven.
Below are some pics to share:

She looks so sweet. Hard to believe she was such a handful!

Fun in the water?

Meg enjoyed spending time with the "baby" MacKinley. They look like brother and sister!

Meg and mommy playing in the dirt. Meg contiuously wanted to run away from the campsite so this was an attempt at keeping her there

Fun in the Sun

Maxx, Nathan, Meg and I spent Saturday swimming at Aunt Pam and Uncle Joe's house. Meg said "no" a lot at first when we tried to get her to come in the pool with us, but thankfully Lauren arrived and saved the day! She had her jumping off the side of the pool in no time. Thanks for a fun day!

Maxx, Nathan and Meg enjoying the pool. Meg is camera shy :)

BC Fun

We spent 10 days in BC and had a great time. Everyone was very excited to see Meg and spend time with her. She is going through a "transportation phase" right now so a lot of our time was spent on boats, trains and of course in an airplane. She was quite excited! She was also great on the plane both ways which we were both shocked and very happy about. Here are some of the highlights from our trip.

Meg was tired but excited to see her cousins at the airport!

We all took a trip on the sky train and Meg LOVED her first train ride

Another transportation first for Meg - a paddle boat!

Meg's first ice cream cone. It was love at first bite

We spent a lot of time at the park in the Whistler village. This slide was a Meg favorite

Meg gave herself a yogurt face mask during breakfast one morning

Meg taking a break from the splash park in Whistler to pose on a rock. What you can't see is her grandpa is sitting on the rock beside her. She loves to copy him!

Another transportation first - an ATV, the didn't go anywhere though

Garden Fun

One of Meg's favorite things to do outside is picking flowers - all the flowers in the garden! She took some time out from playing in her kiddie pool to pick all the flowers in her daddy's vegetable garden on Saturday.

Thank you for the picture Lanrick and Sabrina!
