Winding down the summer

Liam got more presents from the family while up the lake. Here he poses with his "Sea Scope" given to him by Uncle Phil & Aunt Vee. Gram McEntee gave Liam a Toys-R-Us gift card. Liam can't wait to visit the toy store. Liam also got "singing cards" with cash in the mail from the Farrell homestead. Thanks to all the family for making Liam's birthday very special this year.

After dinner, the anual tradition at Tara cottage on our last night at the lake is to measure the children. Gillian grew 2 inches over the past year, while Liam and Tristy seem to have grown only 1&1/2 respectively.

After measuring, we then get the anual picture on the swing with the kids. Of course, I can take 30 pictures and usually none of them seem to turn out right, but this one is as good as it gets. Can't believe the summer is almost over, whew, that went fast.
