Drummond Island: Family Fun

We did more in Drummond Island than just sit by the water and relax -- every hour of every day was filled with fun and enjoyment, even if we were just sitting on the front porch or cooking dinner together. Here are several more pictures from our trip:

BJ and Rachel -- what an adorable couple!

At one point I looked out at our beach and saw Adelaida sitting all by herself in front of the firepit.

She was very happily playing in the sand, oblivious of the fact that everyone had left her (or maybe she just didn't care that they had all left!)

Uncle BJ and Auntie Rachel Murphy brought sand toys, including a rake, a shovel, a watering can, a wheelbarrow, and other accessories -- Adelaida loved them!

One morning, I saw two pileated woodpeckers! They were gigantic and looked just like Woody Woodpecker.

In the absence of other obstacle courses, Adelaida can entertain herself by crawling all over her daddy!

We had beautiful sunsets, every night.

Adelaida enjoyed sitting on the front porch steps with Nonna and Poppa. Seriously, this was entertainment for her for at least a half-hour! She thought it was so much fun! (I suspect Nonna and Poppa kind of enjoyed it too!)

Uncle BJ and Auntie Rachel Murphy really saved the trip by bringing an Adelaida-sized chair with them to Drummond Island. I suspect they imagined that Adelaida would sit in her little chair on the beach, but we immediately conscripted the little orange chair and a bench that we found in the front hall and turned them into a dining table and chair for Adelaida. She had her very own chair to sit in and could eat by herself -- which is exactly what she wants! I don't know what we would have done without the little orange chair. Thanks BJ and Rachel!

Perhaps the most memorable event of the trip involved BJ, a golf ball, and a certain dining room window ... I can just hear BJ saying "I'm going to take a few steps back for this one!"
