It's the 4th Birthday Celebration Week at Simply Sew - June 1 - 4

Kristine is promoting some new children's toys so she ordered a life-size costume of a Groovy Girl! We had to try it out before this Wednesday and this is the result ;)

Okay, so May is a write-off! I am going to post some pics from yesterday at the Grand Bend beach and then try hard to post each day from now on :)

The sky just before sunset (at the pier)

Water splashing up along the pier......close up it looks like a wall of melted clear plastic. Very cool

The harbour

A log at Port Blake. Interesting photo of the water swirling around it.

Bre and Darren.....aren't they cute :)

I've missed quite a few days but I'll add those later. Today I want to show you the wedding dress I made for fun. I finally finished (due to my procrastination) :)

Mr. Cutie Pie, Ethan!

Beautiful princess Gracie

Lucky shot of Ethan :)

Grace knows all the colours of her markers and so she drew a purple happy face! She's so smart!!!

Checked on the Fox family this morning on my way to work and they were there.

On my way home, they were gone.

I was amazed when I was driving home from work and saw these beautiful animals at the side of the road! I stopped the car and turned around to get a photo. The bottom photo was taken from across the road and then I turned around to get a closer photo (top photo). The mom was keeping a close eye on me :) Aren't those babies cute!?

Another bird for your viewing from the waters of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Love this photo of the Pelicans swooping along the water in St. Augustine

I think I have a bird fetish ...... I just love taking pics of birds in or near the water! LOL

John's 53rd birthday but again no photos! Not a very good capturer of important events!!

Pelicans sitting in a row at John's Pass in St. Petersburg

Velvety looking sea creature washed up on the shore at Nokomis beach

Didn't take any pics today of our 28th anniversary or Katie and Jamie's shower. Lisa has some though so I'll have to get some from her to post here :)

A pretty tree bud from the Kiptopeke State Park in Virginia

Blossoming tree we drove past on our trip home!

April 23, 2009

Niagara Falls (only not the falls side) driving from the US side across the Rainbow Bridge.

Yippee, we're on Canadian soil!! :)

Blown out tire on the state line of Maryland and Delaware.

Fortunately we were only a short distance from a tire repair shop and it was fixed and we were back on the road within an hour. We had a good spare tire so it only cost us $20 to get the tire changed.

A tight squeeze on a bridge to Frances Slocum State Park, our final night's stay on our way home. The pavement on the edges of the road on this bridge were all broken up so it was quite unnerving driving so close to the side of the bridge.

Too cold in Pennsylvania for camping so we were alone except for one other camper in this state park!! Very hilly area so I'm sure it would be beautiful in the summer and fall!

We woke up to a very chilly morning......brrrrrr!

April 21, 2009

This brave couple walked across the highway stopping traffic in both directions and then walked over to see what I was doing. They came right up to me......probably hoping for some food. :)

At a scenic stop on the bridge, I took this photo of the area where there is no bridge and where the tunnel is under the water.

Through the tunnel at 50 mph!! Yikes

Above again and you can see the next tunnel area ahead and ships crossing.

Tunnel # 2

12 mile marker....halfway there :)

Fisherman's Island is coming up where the bridges raise up over it.

Kiptopeke State Park on Chesapeake Bay in Virginia

Sunset on Chesapeake Bay.......out in the water was a line of old war ships......not sure the significance except there are naval bases there.
