Magical







We found this magical little house in the shade tree exhibit at the arboretum. It was the perfect size for Evelyn.


Exploring the Landscape Arboretum

There was nothing but clear sky for miles and miles as we drove out to the arboretum to meet Libby and Eli. We spent the morning exploring the beautiful gardens. We couldn't have asked for a better day. Libby and I exchanged photography tips and used the little ones as our teaching subjects. Below are a few of my favorite shots. More photos to come...

On the shores of Lake Winnipeg


Lake Winnipeg is absolutely beautiful. The water was calm and surprisingly warm during our visit. A few of the Sigurdson family members live right on the lake, including Evelyn's great grandmother (during the summer months). What a wonderful place to spend the summer.

Farm girl


The first evening of the reunion was at the Sigurdson family farm in Gimli. Evelyn enjoyed meeting her Canadian relatives and exploring the farm. She is definitely a farm girl at heart and loves the machinery. She pointed out each and every "truck" and "tractor" as we walked around the picturesque property.

Beach baby

We headed off to Manitoba Canada for the weekend...Gimli to be exact. It is an adorable town with Icelandic pride and the site of the 2011 Sigurdson family reunion. Our hotel was right on the beach, perfect for our little beachcomber.
