Camera, camera, wherefore art thou camera?

last friday glenn finished school and so to celebrate we met at a friends home with a few other families to go to a new park. crystal beach. i'm thinking, as is glenn, that it's not really a beach, more like a river with rocks and a park. wrong. also, we thought we were heading to grand island, and island here with a lot of parks, wrong again. what? canada? can you say unprepared? there you go. going to canada is nice, but requires i.d., and we don't keep the kids birth certificates in the car, but we are only 5 minutes away from the border, and 20 from our house. we decided to give it a shot.....and it worked canada let's just about anyone in, especially if you aren't trying to go the falls. we get to the actual, real beach, where it seems we have stumbled across a "members only" section. beautiful people everywhere. very surprising. all skinny. again, i'm not dressed for a real beach, i feel like a complete dummy dumb. oh, finally an older couple and i spy a few girls a tad overweight, i'm feeling a bit better. we ended up having a super fun time playing in the warm water and glenn jumped off the defunct pier a few times. i of course left my camera in the safety of my purse-locked in the van. so we have a shot of the drive home on the peace bridge, which is by the way also the easiest way into america. no questions, just come on in. thank heavens. on saturday we continued the celebration and went to grand island for real, for a picnic with more friends. this was the "beach" we were picturing. the boys and haven had such fun running all over. ciela was partying with a friend in her heated pool! and wouldn't you know it? i left my camera in the car again! so we have a shot of the beautiful sunset off the golf course as only can be captured by a point-and-shoot! we had a marvelous weekend, with fathers day and big potluck at church on sunday. we are ready for summer. bring it on! oh, and i'll grab my camera for sure!
