Vacation: Part One

We were in Canada last week and had an awesome time. We stayed with Matt's younger brother Greg in Toronto. Greg and Ange have a beautiful house with a swimming pool. The kids couldn't get enough of swimming. Jon and Allie came down from Ottawa with their four girls and we had everybody at Greg's one afternoon. It was so much fun. There are nine cousins now. Jon and Allie have 4 girls: Talia is 9, Claire is 6, Jacinta is 3 and Maeve is 7 months. Then there's our three. And Greg and Ange have 4 month old twins Kayla and Kyan. Chris and Katie don't have any kids yet, but there were plenty of neices and nephews for them to borrow.
In the pool, the 3-year-olds were all about the gear. Check out Michael with Uncle Chris and Jacinta with Allie--they are sitting in rafts wearing water wings. Jacinta has goggles and an inflatable killer whale and Michael has a water blaster. Too funny.

Ange was more low key with Kayla, although I got her to try on the water sling I borrowed later. Someone probably has a picture of me wearing Justin in the pink camo water carrier--it was surprisingly useful and I think Ange will be buying one. I'll get some more use out of mine this summer, although pink is not Justin's color.
Inside was Babies Central. Here are Kayla, Kyan, Justin and Maeve.

I love these last two pictures. It's not that they're great quality or anything, but they totally capture what it was like in the kitchen with brothers and cousins galore:
