Sask Landing!!

This past July we met Lance and Susan and their family down at Sask Landing for a week of camping and such. I never did get a photo of our campsite but it was great, we were able to park side by side and share the two campsites. We might have to make it a yearly event...a very nice spot to camp. Our first day at the beach we did some digging...Nevin with no legs...
a body less Brodie
Jenna and Danika
A luxury at the beach... a hot tub
One place we went to while at Sask Landing was the sand dunes not to terribly far away... they are truly awesome, constantly changing and moving. The sand is super fine and soft a great place to spend the afternoon. Here Nevin is helping Jenna and Danika up the steep side.
Cousins as well as friends Danika and Jenna
Landen loving the sand
The climber of the group....once I got to the top I stayed there....Brodie went up and down and up and down....oh to have that kinda energy
one of the trips up he wanted me to take a shot of him looking like he can barely make it....
Grandpa helping the kids dig to...??? China?? They did make an impressive hole, until Grandpa couldn't go any deeper.
Found a hole to sit in..
Brodie(9), Jenna(6), Kara(4), Landen(22mths), Danika(7)... the five of them actually sat for the picture, too bad I had moisture on my lens:(
Doing what boys do...
Five cousins making footprints in the sand...

Danika not actually holding Landen's hand... looks more like she's dragging him...
Lance's hard work..on the side of a sand dune
Brodie doing what he does best.... two things he does best...digging and getting dirt..
One afternoon in the campground there was a dinosaur presentation that we went to...here the kids are looking at fossils...
Jenna being the "bottom" of the dinosaurs leg
and a fossil of dino poop for all to enjoy!
As part of the dinosaur presentation the kids were all given a plate, sand, (with fossils in it) microscope, and tweezers so they could be like "real" paleontologists.(I think that is the right term!)
Jenna looking to find some sort of a fossil....
Brodie intently searching...
Kara getting help from Auntie Rhonda, finding dinosaur bones.
You woulda though these three were at war with the people on the beach...they were kinda hard to miss however three grown men sneaking up to the beach on their bellies with water guns...they did take to shooting sea gulls and hitting them and that was funny! We can't say they never entertained us! Nevin, Phil W., and Lance.
Miss D. putting on flippers...seems to me not the easiest way to do that job!
Brodie digging with yes, a spade...the plastic shovels break way to easy for this boy!
Jenna trying out the boogie board
Landen loving water and sand all at once!
Danika in the water yet again....if she had her way she'd never leave the water!
