The "Doll House" with friends and family

So the Canarys are a sweet little couple in our ward and they have a home that sits right on the lake. They also have what she calls her own "Doll House" that they built together years ago. She has been inviting us out for a very long time and so finally we were able to go over and boy was it a blast. They have their own little petting zoo with goats, swan, peacocks, chickens, and ducks. The kids enjoyed the animals. The Bishop family came with us. We had such a fun day. 


Then we went to the paddle boats and this was a blast. The kids got the hang of them pretty quick and off they went.




Due to the temperatures the weather is very hot and humid and it has created our lake to have blue green algae that makes you get very very sick. They have cautioned everyone to stay out of the water. The kids wanted to jump in so bad because of the heat but there was no way that was happening.  This has not been a good thing for the businesses in our area because it is what brings people to Grove. We had so much fun that we brought the kids back as a surprise and stayed in the "Doll House" on Sunday to Monday. We enjoyed a nice meal from Sister Canary and some family time with games and boat rides. Nice to have some time together.
