Happy Day, David!

 Sunday was David's birthday. We had a lot to cram in.  He opened gifts -- and at Nancy's house, he was ably assisted by two cats and the puppy.  It was Taffy's first time removing gift wrap, so she was delighted to take part.

Right after lunch, Dave and Brian saddled up the snowmobiles to go for a run down the lake.  Again, Brian was joined by critters, but we note that they didn't go far on the sled.  Achmed the cat has never really met a vehicle he didn't enjoy sitting on, and Taffy is just beginning to join a long tradition of hitch-hiking in front of Brian on a sled...

The lads left the animals at home, and trekked down the lake to visit our friend Gord over at Beauview Resort, and to check out what was happening in the "greater world" down the lake.  A.K.A. checking out the new cottage construction. Yikes!

Of course, there was cake.  Erika's Wild Flour Bakery in Dwight provided this tasty creation. 

Birthdays are a great excuse for a celebration, and for some family time.  Not to mention a great excuse to spend a day out on the Algonquin Snowmobile Club trails, reportedly the best in Ontario!  We're lucky to live here!
