A Day on Loon Island

On Tuesday, we spent the day on Loon Island near Portland. Being with family was great! Altogether it was my mom, her cousin David, his wife Margaret, the girls, Gord and myself. We had so much fun playing and relaxing on the Island and being in the water. While I was in the water with the girls my boyfriend Gord took awesome pictures of us just having fun. It is so nice to actually have pictures of me being with the girls instead of being the one behind the camera. I love that I can see the interactions and the love between the girls and I. I got quite the laugh though looking at the pictures he had taken as there were a few close-ups of my ass.

Here's Emily after finding the swing.

David took Emily for a kayak ride around the Island - so cool - the girls have been talking about going in a kayak all summer (probably becasue mommy has mentioned a few times that someday she'd like to own one.)

The girls loved jumping off the raft and climbing on the surfboard. They are getting so brave this summer.
