Easter 2009 - Vanaema's 60th and Rein's 6th Birthday!

Well, it was a very busy, fun-filled weekend.....

Tiiu and Rein celebrated their birthdays and Peter Rabbit visited again.
We hunted for easter eggs, had a fabulous Easter Brunch, and visited with Vana Vanad and Juta.

Massassuaga Creek - April 9, 2009

We finally explored the creek on the north end of Buck Lake this year. There's a very narrow window in the spring when the paddling is ideal.
We had a lovely day paddling in the sunshine. We stopped for a picnic along the winding creek and then spent some time at the dam where there is a beautiful waterfall. We saw two green herons that day - a sight only seen in the early spring....

Family Get Lost Walk - 03/07/09

It was a beautiful day...
Snow and ice still on te ground but warm enough for us to shed our jackets. As you can see we discovered some beautiful frozen waterfalls.

Spring is just around the corner.....

Leslie's Ladies Weekend - 02/27 - 03/01/09

We talked, we laughed, we slept in, we read, we ate good food, we skated, we played shinny, we imbibed in red wine and gin & tonics........
Ahhhh, it was heaven.

The Ladies: Leslie, Meredith, Kristin, and Tanya

Our weekend in Godfrey, cont'd - it was for the birds.....

Shawn and Julia have their birds trained well. We are still working on ours.....

Here's Rein feeding a chickadee....

none of them were bold enough to take any of the seeds on Rein's head.
