An Awesome Weekend to Finish our Holidays

We drove to Ingersoll and met Toby's new adoptive Dad. Toby left with Bill to begin his new life and is finally going to live the retired life with no worries and a big brother Airedale named Gus. Happy travels Toblerone we will miss you (a bit) but think of you often (as we vigilantly protect our food, garbage and countertops LOL).
From Ingersoll we were about an hour and fifteen minutes from Greg, Shae and Addy's house. We were anxious to see family again and to let the dogs have some fun time with Greg and Shae's chocolate Labs, Tal and Fergus. The seven and a half hour trip flew by like a nice afternoon drive. It was a very pleasant trip considering we usually drive 19 hours to the cottage.
Addy has already changed so much. Our first night there she stared into Shae's eyes and said very, very clearly "Mum, mum, mum mum." I had tears in my eyes, it was just so awesome. Don't worry Greg, I am sure Da, da, da, da is in there somewhere!
Addy is so cute and as beautiful as ever. Sid was right in there wanting to change her, feed her, bring her toys. These girls and going to be good friends when the age gap is a bit less noticeable. Right now Sid is lucky that Addy is such an easy going kid, she tolerates all the fussing and poking Sid inflicts (with love of course!)Look at those eyes, I have never seen a baby smile with her eyes the way Addy does. They sparkle and almost light up seconds before the smile crosses her lips.
All of the kids except Addy out playing fetch in the yard. As we knew they would, all the dogs got along really well and Tal and Fergus handled the Fun Police (aka - Maggie) with class. Our cute cuddly Maggie hates it when the other dogs are having fun without her so she likes to go and break up all the chasing and games by charging around and barking at everyone. She mostly got ignored.
Tal and Fergus were amazing with Sidney. She looked in their ears, pulled their tails, jumped over them and did all the things kids really shouldn't do with dogs. However, Tal and Fergus loved the attention and didn't flinch or appear bother at all. What great dogs!
We were spoiled with fantastic food, drinks and fun. Shae, you are such an amazing cook!!!! With full tummies and a bit of alcohol in our systems Greg pulled out Guitar Hero's. What a good time. I was very happy to be able to play bass.... how cool!



We got to go to the cottage and visit the best beach in the province on Lake Huron and then on Saturday we focused on a bit of R. and R in the backyard. We had another awesome meal and Addy tried peas for the first time. I love her look in this picture it almost says "Are you serious Dad? You want me to eat that?", in the end after a few bites she did seem to love her peas.
The boys went into town to pick up a few supplies and came back with Rock Band 2. They had a special promotion which included the mullet kit. Here is Sid modeling it for us.
