Oh Captain, My Captain!

The kids got a chance to meet the captain of the boat and to take over the helm for a few minutes.  A definite highlight!

Caitlin's looking at the GPS screen to make sure she's steering correctly (somehow I don't think the GPS navigation system is an original part of the boat)

Cohen's face shows the effort and concentration he needed to  move the big wheel.  He loved  driving the boat!

Cruisin' Lake Muskoka on the Segwun

On Labour Day weekend we enjoyed a beautiful trip on Lake Muskoka on the Segwun.  Cohen loved exploring the boat and even got a chance to drive it!

 

 

Here is the royal mail steamship, The Segwun, operating in Muskoka for 125 years 

We had a gorgeous day for our cruise

Gorgeous couple - thanks for treating us to such a fabulous day!

The three big sisters - we don't get photos like this very often any more, I'm so glad we thought to take this picture!

Going for a Drive

Mommy take my picture!

I was transferring photos from the camera to my computer and Cohen came up to me and pointed at the camera and then made this face until I took his picture.  Then he wanted to see it and he looked very satisfied with the results when I showed him.  I thought it was funny because he never smiles or poses for the camera when I want to take his photo.....

Baby Jedi He Is

We all agreed that Cohen had a distinct jedi look about him with this hooded towel wrapped around him.  Added to the fact that he still has that "new-walker" shuffle and is very tiny, he earned himself the nickname Yoda for the day.

Trampolining

Cohen LOVED the trampoline at the Dieker's.  He was so proud of himself when he mastered walking across it without falling.

Party Time

Here are a few pictures from Henk & Ans' anniversary party.
