These are just some beach pics of our vacation. One day we had a retriever follow us for hours on the beach. He just sallied on over and plopped himself down as if he belonged to us... and everyone there thought he did! He followed the kids when they played in the waves, or ran on the beach. It was hilarious. The kids were getting attached, and I was getting worried that the dog wasn't going to go home, wherver that might be. However we packed up and got in the car without the dog and he sallied on over to another family, not his, and that was that! Made me wish Lukey could have a dog like that. I know he really liked him. Luke has a very tender heart too. He was a bit worried for the dog. We assured him, he would go home when he was hungry. (He didn't have a collar, but looked well fed!)

The other pic of Liam and I was on our trip out to Bruce's Island. This was an island in front of our beach house, which was accessible during low tide. We enjoyed exploring that island, but it was tough going with Finn. Very rocky and a bit perilous trying to carry him over everything. At one point we exchanged carrying Finn, he protested and threw a hissy, and down both Finn and Nicole went. Ouch! Right on the rocks! Anyhoo, the older kids enjoyed the exploring and still swear they saw a cute little otter in amongst the kelp!
