Law of the jungle

With a sinking feeling, the rooster realizes this won't be his day
Inevitably, Isaac establishes dominance
Isaac seems to gravitate to the strangest item in the room. Needless to say, this decorative rooster was more than a few feathers lighter by the end of our stay.

Dinner with Kathy & Kim

Sharing a laugh as the LM opens a gift
Enjoying the rock garden (and wine!) from the sunroom
While in Thunder Bay, we were invited over for dinner at Kathy and Kim Marsland's. My mother and Kathy taught together when they were just beginning their teaching careers all those years ago at Selkirk Collegiate.

Thanks for the wonderful meal and hospitality, Kathy & Kim!

Folk on the Rocks

We took in Yellowknife's folk festival, Folk on the Rocks, with our awesome YK hosts, Alex and Tania. It was really great to see old friends again and to soak up the midnight sun north of 60! Isaac perfected his crawling and started to pull himself up on things in Yellowknife. Beware the mobile baby....

Yellowknife

Isaac and I paid a visit to my old stomping ground, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Here we are with the polar bear-chasing-the-seal at at aiport, Isaac in a hammock on Andrew's houseboat, and visiting with Julie Jackson and Jenn Steidman.

Thunder Bay (2) Harris Hospitality

We were hosted by the Harris' and had a fabulous time with Scott and Helen, Jodi and Ricardo. Helen taught Isaac "high five" and "wink" and we spent a glorious few days at their cabin on the Wolf River, where we enjoyed the sauna.

Thunder Bay (1) Family Times

Patrick's mom's side of the family is from Thunder Bay. We went to their camp on Dog Lake for the Canada Day long weekend where Isaac had his first ride in a canoe, curtosey of great-uncle Willie.

Great-uncle Perry and great-aunt Joanne treated Isaac to his first taste of Finnish pancakes at the Hoito. We paid Joanne a visit at her store, Chaltrek, shop there for outdoors gear when in Thunder Bay!
