Boys Day Out!

Bubby has been dying to take one of his buds to his Ducky and Grandma's house to explore, so since Spring Break was this week we took off!  It was supposed to be a perfect day - sunny and in the 50s.  Ok, so it was perfect, but not in those ways:) 
It snowed!  Not just a little, but big fat flakes that started an hour after we got there and lasted for a couple of hours.  It was beautiful!  We didn't let that slow us down though...
  Bubby and his buddy went canoeing.  They had a blast!  They stayed on the water for about an hour.  Even transported Mookie around too:)  No trip to Ducky's is complete without going for a ride (or 2 or 3) in the 4wheel Ranger which the boys even talked Ducky into letting them "drive" (holding the wheel).
  We had to come inside to get dried off and warmed up, grab lunch and a cupcake break...
Shorty and an Oreo Cupcake!
Oh my goodness!  Billy Vanilly cupcakes are yummy!!!

Play a game of hide and seek...

And then head outside for more adventures of finding a forgotten well...
It was only 6 foot deep, but nonetheless cool!

Toppling trees with our bare hands to make a bridge across a ditch...
The finished bridge
We even had time to stomp thru the puddles...

Of course, when we took off from our adventure the sun came out.  But we couldn't have asked for a more perfect and fun filled day!  Thanks Ducky and Grandma!
The gooey aftermath:)

  2. What a beautiful post! The kind of day of which fondest childhood memories are made :) Really, you should submit that first photo of the road for a calendar or photo contest! Love your blog! Pat.

  3. Thanks Pat! He'd been dying to do that day for the longest time. They have plans to do it again when the weather warms up. They wanted to shoot Dad's crossbow and didn't get it done:)
