On the last day that we were in Buckhorn, we went to the Peterborough Zoo. Matthew was walking and fell and hit his face hard (Andrea blames the Crocs). We were really concerned that he had broken his nose. Lisa took him to see Dr. Pallie the next day, and she sent him to get an x-ray. Well, Matthew was fine. And we also got the good news that his toy baby kangaroo also didn’t have any broken bones either.

We’ve been home for a couple of weeks now, and I had some time today to get all the pictures ready from Buckhorn. Other than Mom’s broken arm, everyone had an awesome time. I wish I was rich and could just stay up there on the lake!

Anyway, the main 20060809-14 Trip to Buckhorn gallery has been broken out into the 6 days that Lisa, Andrew, Matthew and I were there:

Day 01 – 20060809 Trip to Buckhorn
We got to the cottage just before dinner. Andrew wanted to go fishing, so there are some great pictures of Dad (Poppa), Andrew and Matthew fishing.

Day 02 – 20060810 Trip to Buckhorn
I got up early in the morning and saw 5 different herons. I got some good pictures of them. There are also pictures from when Lisa and Andrew went into Whitby for the afternoon to see Karen’s new baby Courtney.

Day 03 – 20060811 Trip to Buckhorn
We went swimming at the “Sandy Beach” with Nanny and Julia. This was the night we had our annual dinner at Swiss Chalet. And of course in the evening we had the Baby Shower for Alisa and Jason.

Day 04 – 20060812 Trip to Buckhorn
I got some more pictures of the herons. Dad had taken Nanny to meet Heather, so I fished with the boys. Later on we went mini-putting in Peterborough.

Day 05 – 20060813 Trip to Buckhorn
After going to Church in the morning, we stayed around the cottage. There are some pictures out on the boat, and of a campfire we had in the evening.
Day 06 – 20060814 Trip to Buckhorn
There are a few pictures from around the cottage, and then pictures from the Peterborough Zoo. There are a couple of pictures of Matthew after he fell.

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve put up a bunch of pictures I had saved:

• 20060722 At the Farm (where Brianna works)
  Lisa took some pictures of the boys at the farm where Brianna works.
• 20060727-28 Andrew’s Birthday
  Andrew had a lot of fun on the days surrounding his birthday.
• 20060729 St. Catharines Ward Picnic
  We had our annual Ward Picnic at Burgoyne Woods. It was a hot day, but everyone had a good time.
• 20060803 Maid of the Mist
  I got free tickets to Maid of the Mist and we took Ian and Mya Dromey with us.
• 20060805 Primary Temple Trip
  Lisa drove up with Maxine Elliott up to the Toronto Temple for a Primary activity. The boys looked so cute in their shirts and ties.
• 20060822 Lisa, Andrew and Matthew in Whitby
  Lisa drove her cousin and her kids up along with Andrew and Matthew up to Whitby for a couple of days
• 20060828 Trip to Marineland
  I got free passes and we went to Marineland. Andrew loved the rides!

Here are a couple of pictures of Mom’s bruised and broken arm:

I’ve put larger pictures in the family gallery.

Last week, Evy asked me to put a picture of my belly on the blog so that Ryan, Lillie and Lauren could see their new cousin in progress. As you can see, he/she is coming along nicely. 8 weeks to go!
