We took the kiddos out on the lake in the back yard today. They got to see the ducks, lily pads, and nutria up close and personal, took turns throwing tantrums about giving someone else a turn with the life jackets, and encouraged Barney to “kill the crocagators” that inhabit the lake by slapping his paddle loudly on the water. Go check the pics. Oh, and Barney made a cool slide show thingy in the gallery section which makes it easier to view the photos in completion and with captions if they have any. The button for it is over in the bottom right hand corner of the viewer. I would recommend letting the gallery load before clicking it just so you don’t run into the problem of the slide show forwarding on to the next pic before the one you’re waiting for has time to load! You don’t have to click that annoying “next” button over and over again anymore though, which is a nice change. 
Let us know what you think!

Whoops! I just realized I forgot to upload one of my galleries from an outing to the beach last week. On this trip the insane children decided to strip down in the fog and frolic in the waves! That being said, if you have an issue with baby bums, first, go get your head checked, and then, with all due respect, don’t look at the gallery. :) Oh, and have a nice day.
We bought some hot dogs yesterday and headed to the beach for some coastal fun and a bonfire dinner.
Kubb was played, beer was imbibed, hot dogs were both eaten and burnt to a crisp, golf was practiced, sand was dug, S’mores were devoured, and a good time was had by all. Go check the pics!
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it before, but the Boisverts are a family of golfers. Or I guess I should say “folks who like to golf no matter how many times they hit a tree, or top the ball, or find the rough, or get buried in the sand, or, or, or”. ;) Heck, just two days ago, Joanne got a birdie. No, really. She nailed a seagull right in the backside. Made him squawk and everything.
Pepere has created a couple of fanatics in his two eldest grandsons. They regularly head outside by themselves to practice chipping on the lawn, and any time Jerry turns a game on on the t.v., especially if Tiger is playing, they plop themselves next to Pepere on the bean bags and happily partake in the ritual shelling and eating of The Peanuts.
Anyway, even those of us who do not regularly play golf are compelled to participate when at a family reunion so as not to be shunned or written out of any wills. I tagged along with Jerry, Dodo, Joanne, Moe, and Michaela yesterday, intending to simply walk and be the unofficial family golf photographer, when I got sucked in by the Boisvert fervor for the game and decided to play. Moira was in the same “rookie golfer” boat as I was, so I didn’t feel as out of place stepping onto the course as I would have if I were playing with the likes of Jerry, Barney, or Iain. However, even as comforted as I was in this fact, I’m glad I was behind the camera, not having my awkwardness caught on film. Because I was playing, and we were split into two sets of three, I only managed to snap a few pics, and the ones of the three folks on the other team are from far away, so I apologize for any fuzziness. 
Enjoy!
Are you guys sick of me yet? If you hadn’t guessed already, we’re testing out a new camera.
I couldn’t help but try out the Macro setting, so you get to suffer through a gallery of mostly flowers, bugs, and veggies. Don’t know if the image quality will shine through due to website/internet resolution restrictions but enjoy!
The kids are all napping and most of the rest of the crew is out golfing, so I thought I’d take a few moments to upload pics from our beach outing today. With all the pics we’re taking I have to keep up on the uploading or I’ll get so swamped I’ll never have the courage to sit down and wade through them all! I’ve also split the gallery this time so that it doesn’t take so long to load.
So, for your viewing pleasure, today I present The Beach Adventurers and Life’s A Beach.
We are here at the lovely Oregon coast for a week and a half of family fun.
Cousin Iain is here for a few days, then Uncle Tom and Aunt Joanne arrive, followed shortly by Cousin Moira, Cousin-in-law Mark, and little cousin Addy. It’s been fun so far, and we’re looking forward to even more catching up, ping ponging, golfing, goofing around, book reading, and of course, being the Boisverts……EATING!
I’ve added a gallery of new pics and there are sure to be more to come later in the week. It’s a large gallery so be patient while it loads!
