A fun weekend at The CHildren's Museum and Theatre for Young People

Agnes and Sarah went to Kenora but drove with Zaida to Trout Lake and back - look who visited Zaida - look close for the baby!

Thanks to Auntie Sophie for a beautiful party dress which Agnes loves to swirl; Grandma and Zaida went to Bemidgi and saw Paul and Babe!

We love to go to Scoop 'N' Weigh - they have great toys for A; she liked to hug their snow man; they even have her picture on the wall; gave her a bag

Winnie the Bear was from Winnipeg and they bought the famous painting; A picked some flowers for her Mom; all the animals were sleeping in the hot sun

A big 3-year old can have much more fun than when she was a baby!

Agnes delighted us on her first visit of the year to Trout Lake. Her Zaida's highlight was his favourite sport of BLUEBERRY PICKING. She got the idea of picking and not eating and wanted to fill the special pail he bought for her. She sold him on the idea that his picking should also go in her pail where she said "It's safe". Which was true until she started to put her shoe on and dumped the pail but we were able to salvage and clean most of this year's awesome crop already out and big and juice and Grandma made an excellent crisp! We picked a gorgeous water lily right in Beavertail Bay opposite Blueberry Hill - it closed at night and then reopened to our delight - last weekend Agnes had a fun swing which was much better than trying to swing on Sheri's yoga swing. No baby loons, only Daddy calling which makes us think Mommy may be sitting on her nest. Grandma brought her inflatable kayak which worked and Agnes tried it our but prefers Zaida's boat which was running OK after it got dunked last year but it is not perfect

new experiences: new baby geese; flying a kite; cheerleaders building and tossing the top girl; climbing under and jumping over a chain link fence!

Agnes and Zaida have a lot of fun

and then ... Papa's birthday 2 days later

What a BIRTHDAY ... Agnes is 3 !
