And one more post sitting in the draft pile - oy I must have been B.U.S.Y. leading up to our trip:-)  Anyways, here you go - 

I don't have many of Kea from this week, as she was away for dance on a huge trip where she went to night clubs and everything.  She seems to be growing up in front of our eyes, in so many ways!!!!

The kids were LOVING the puddle that was our driveway, even going so far as to swim in it, and using the blue tarp covering the pile of soil to slide into their new 'pool'.  Who says you have to invest a lot of money into toys??!!!

And Ry, who is most definitely all arms and legs these days, he just keeps on growing!

Oh, and look, I even have unpublished drafts sitting here, from way back in the spring.  Here's portraits from week 22........:-)

Summertime!

Hello!

How's it going?  Hope you're all having a fantastic summer!!!!

I've been asked a few times about my blog, and have been VERY remiss in posting.  The last post was the end of May - YOWSERS!!!!!  And I'm currently packing up for a week long paddling trip in Algonquin Park so odds are I won't find the time to update my blog before then (but you never know!!!!)   However, I did want to pop in and say HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  I haven't forgotten you!  And to leave you with a couple of things you can check out in the meantime....

First of all, Kea started a blog during our cross Canada adventures, and although she only made it up to Jasper (better than me!), it's quite fun to read and you can get a glimpse of the start of our trip through her eyes........http://followingkea.blogspot.ca/

Secondly, I posted a tonne of photos during our adventure on Instagram (somehow it was so much easier to just take a photo, write a couple of words and press publish than to try and blog!) and it turns out you can check those out even if you're not on Instagram.  You may need to search out the hashtag #mckayscrosscanadatour or you can just scroll down the photos (warning - I take a lot!) at http://instagram.com/fivemckays

I haven't even sorted through all my 'real' photos yet, and suspect I'll gather up a few more in Algonquin!!!!  But I'll try to get back on track soon.  For now, I'm dehydrating chilli and setting aside bug jackets and trying not to think too much about the long portage ahead!!!!!
