Having Fun With Lincoln at Little Kennesis Lake, Haliburton, ON

We were so excited to have our first two day solo visit with our grandson, Lincoln, earlier this week. He just loves being a “helper” and is always saying “let me do it!” It’s so hard to believe that he’s three and really not a baby anymore.

Helping Get Poppa Don's Boat Ready for Launching

Lincoln really wanted to help Poppa Don get the boat ready for launching so he help put away the life jackets, the ropes and the survival kit.

Lincoln then thought it would be a good idea if Gramma got up in the boat too but by then all the work was done so I just kept snapping a few shots.

Getting Ready for a Swim

It was a little cool with the wind but Lincoln was so looking forward to a swim so Poppa Don and Gramma got on our suits; helped Lincoln get ready and down we went to the lake for a quick dip. (And it was a quick dip.. it was pretty cold — even for our water baby!)

We had a visitor who swam up very close to us while we were in the water and as soon as we had made our way up to the cottage, Mr. Duck jumped up on the dock. Guess his feet were cold too!

Lincoln & Poppa Don Feeding the Duck

Lincoln thought that Mr. Duck might be hungry so Poppa Don got some crackers ready. Lincoln (who has a fantastic throwing arm) actually got some of the crackers out so that the duck could have a snack.

All in all, it was a wonderful couple of days and we are really looking forward to our daughter, Jenn, and grandson, Lincoln, coming up a few more times over the summer! We are also really looking forward to Shaun, Brandi and Riley’s first visit later this summer as well!
