The Great Escape

At the beginning of the month, we loaded up the car and once again headed to our favourite reprieve from civilization in the deep, dark woods. Given the persistence of our return, as well as our plethora of 'house guests' this year, we are currently considering listing the campsite as a second address.

- Around camp -

(Vecais being discreet after an evening 'bath')
- Water babies and beach bums -

- Happy paddlers -

- Forest dwellers -


- House guests -

Boston descends:
The girls,
the boys,
and the Big Boys.

Ottawa gals

- Good night! -

Mountain Mind

On the run, not much time for detailed descriptions - but seeing as every summer your faithful blogger seems to load up the exact same pictures in the exact same places, with only the models all a year older (wider, taller, wiser, greyer?), perhaps there's not a lot to be said! But wanted to be sure to load up some snaps of our last adventures before embarking on thenext one (kids + papa are already one step ahead of me)

So once again we spent a delightful week at "Little Thumbs" in the mountains

Dino-Day (complete with our own 3-yr old mascot):

Mudzuks insisted Mamuks take her portrait on this specific rock in this specific pose:

And then Mudzuks wanted to take over! Mudzuks' own (as always keenly spotted) pics:


Go Mudzuks go!
Along for the ride!



Cookout:





Mudzuks' new friend:
Mamuks the Kaija having a squawk with Vecais:
A walk in the woods, and up the mountain, to Rapunzel's secret tower - but alas no hair... and obviously none of us was princely enough to figure out a way in!





(and coming down again...)
Swimming (with portable art studio, of course) up at Dzenu ezers:

The G-man taught Papuks so many clever things!

Talis enjoyed his 3rd birthday (M & V were right in there on that M&M coated action, let me tell you)

Meanwhile Mudzuks, the unrelenting artist, is creating masterpieces, despite the raging weather behind her:


Meicas:





Mes esam visi IK-SKI-SI!

Tevu ugunskurs (lietus mus aizbiedeja no brivaja daba baudisanas)

Til next year!
