Golden Girl Adventures

Antique Shopping Adventures!

In October we did our yearly mom's weekend way up at our friends cottage resort in Wasaga. What a great place!! If anyone is looking for a great family oriented place to stay at while in Wasaga this is the place to be! Woodland Cedars :) We go up at least twice a year...mom and kids week in the summer and mom's weekend in the fall :)

It was a rainy cold weekend so we decided to go to Elmvale for some shopping and check out an antique store and a few other cool shops.

On our way!!

(Ummm...Teresa, eyes on the road please!!)

 

 

We can't help but have a little fun!!

Lucky for Christie I'm no Mike Tyson!!

                                  

                                                                This is just creepy!!

                                                Unfortunately he did not turn into a prince

                                                         It's a good look for you Jess!!

                                                         All ready for a royal wedding :)

                               The shop owner thought we were crazy!! He may just be right :)

 

Jess and I :)

 

 

 

This was the coolest store ever!!!

                                      

 

Operation Gazebo!!

So in June I purchased a gazebo off of kijiji for $50.00. Now the question was, how do I install it? I have never seen it done before. I figure it can't be too hard so I all upon my sisters (not by blood but by choice) to come help me out :)



Christie and I - photo shoot prior to getting started (What can I say? we are picture junkies!!!)

Gathered all the necessary supplies. We didn't have safety goggles so swimming goggles would have to do. I have no idea where I got the hard hat from but good thing I have it, this could get dangerous!!

Hmmmm....this looks a little more complicated than I thought

 

Maybe Jess can help?

we figured this would probably be the most important tool (My lovely pink screwdriver)

Turns out this was :)

Probably giving these two wine before starting was not a good idea

Hmmm.....lots of little pieces, hope we don't lose any!!

And so it starts...Operation Gazebo underway :)

Notice how Jess has a glass of wine in her hand through out most of the operation

Or sitting right beside her...its never far (Notice the bottle has also made its way next to her)

Our Foreman Deb....safety first!!!

Quick break...so far so good!!

Now for the more difficult part..the roof

                                   
                            Connie is thinking"wish these two would leave me alone...I got this"
                                               *Note...Jess still carrying the wine glass

                                     

                                     I guess our foreman has better things to do...like texting!
                                                                  (probably a boy :)

 

 

 

*Note...Jess still carrying the wine glass

Somethings not right.....our foreman inspects

                                                                    Ooops...my bad

 Putting the cover on, none of us are too tall so we enlisted the help of brooms :)

Almost done!!!!

Screwing it into the deck...good call Connie!! But why aren't you using the drill?

Girl Power!!!

Time to feed everyone :)

                                      

                                                                 and coffee time


                                     
                              Probably not a good idea to let the kids play with the power tools

Time to eat :)

                                                                  Great job ladies!!!!

The finished product :)
