June has been a busy month and even though there are many postings there has been little time to sort through all the photographs. Since it is the end of the month here are a few extra ones that have not made it on to the blog. Fyi, almost all the good photographs of Vincent make it to the blog.

Beach Evening

It was a warm summer evening at the beach. Vincent always likes to have a stick or something to hold on to, look at, or to dig with in the beach sand.

Exercise Time with Vincent

Push Ups.

Running.

Finished for Now.

A couple of Vincent's many exercise routines. His parents exercise is keeping up with Vincent.

Vincent's Trip to the Beach.

Heading Home

Vincent likes to go to the beach so we take him there almost every day. He has still not gotten into the cold Lake Ontario water but is getting closer every day. He loves to did in the sand and hold a beach stone or two in his hand.

Racoon Family

The backyard racoon population is exploding as Moma and four baby racoons occupied the backyard tree. It seems they must have been kicked out of the den due to cramped space so they were spotted in the tree during daylight. Looks like there is a baby explosion of all kinds at the beach.

Astibe Flowers

The Astibe plant is blooming in the backyard garden.

Milestone: 25 Years of Marriage

Vincent and Luisa Join the Celebration.

Twenty Five years ago, June 22nd, Bob and Karen tied the knot. The wedding was a wonderful affair in Kingston and against all odds the happy day lead to 25 years of bliss. "As the old folks say, it just goes to show, you never can tell." Truth be told, we knew all along it was a wonderful match. Here we see the happy couple on their anniversary. The proud parents of three wonderful children, Joseph, and twins Tim and Andrew.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to KAREN and BOB.

Father's Day

Vincent and Dad on Father's Day.

Sandbox

No need to build a sandbox in the backyard as there is a nice big one at the park. And a bonus is there are lots of toys to play with including a bix yellow pail.

Swinging at the Beach

Vincent likes the swings at the local park.

The Beach Rib Fest

The judges start the competition.

Vincent finished one and wants another.

Enjoying the music in the evening sun.

A live band provided background music.

Some scenes from a pleasant Saturday evening at the Beach rib fest.

The Ribbers Rated.

Uncle Sam's: Our number 1 ranking; tender, flavourful, and messy.

Thirsty Cactus: Our no 2 ranking; tender and flavourful.

Camp 31: Failing grade; not very flavourful and too much fat.

Hawgs Gone Wild: Not rated.

Luisa, Uncle Marc and myself each picked a ribber and stood in line to get a rack. Once back at the table we split them up and rated the ribbers. There were four large stands and one or two smaller. Our unanimous rankings are shown.
