A perfect day
Traditionally May-long weekend (a holiday weekend, for you non- Canadians)is chilly and rainy. Just when all the parks open for camping and the frost has finally cleared, Manitobans are met with a reminder that winter was just over, but not yet gone.
However, today, May-long Saturday, was gorgeous!
My in-laws purchased an incredible cottage property with 15 acres last autumn and the whole family went out today to have a work/ play day. 15 acres is a lot to mow, even with 2 riding mowers, but we all got in on the action. Even Eiley wanted to participate, though playing on the play structure and trampoline and trying to find a way to get into the river were a bit more tempting.
We enjoyed grilled hamburgers and lots of sun. yippeeeee!They say tomorrow is 90 percent chance of rain, but we are staying optimistic.

SOUNDS LIKE FUN!!! mmm burgers!~
Love the pics!
Hey Svea...I love the pictures! My experience of living in Wisconsin taught me how precious those sunny and mild days are (here in Cali we tend to take them a bit for granted...). It looks like your family enjoyed the day to the full! Love, Amy
How cute are you on that riding mower!
Looks like you guys had a wonderful time out there.
looks like a beautiful place! nice pictures Svea, you're a great photographer
in the words of my brother when he first saw the property, "i didn't know places like this existed in manitoba!"
wow. a little piece of paradise.
Svea, congratulations on your second pregnancy. I know I'm a little late. Just to let you know that you have Jon's work email so I don't always get them. If you could email his work and he could give you our home email, that would be great. Your pictures are fantastic. My dad would be proud! Love, Liz
