Lots of smiles!

And she found it, head first, of course!

She had fun splashing in the lake.

Playing in the camper with some new toys.

The stacking cups were supposed to be for Chloe...

Guess they're just too irresistable!

The drive home to Winnipeg took longer than expected, thanks to a flat tire just outside of Fargo. Gave us some time to stop and pick flowers while Phil changed the tire!
