As it was a holiday weekend here (New Brunswick Day) we decided to go to my husband's sister's cottage at the lake. The cottage is on an island so you have to take a 20 minute boat ride to get there. It was built in the 1940's and has no electricity but there is a hand pump for water and a composting toilet. We have been going there every summer since our boys were babies and we always have a great time.
Some highlights:
 |
| Cameron had a rare day off from his summer job so we were a family of 4 again (these sunglasses still crack me up) |
 |
| the cottage |
 |
| My sister-in-law with a very large dog |
 |
| Isaac enjoying yet another Stephen King novel |
 |
| Cameron and Isaac jumping off "Canon Ball Rock" |
 |
| quite possibly the most unflattering picture of me...ever...when I jumped off I thought I was as graceful as a gymnast..apparently I was delusional.... |
 |
| Scott relaxing with a slightly smaller dog |
 |
| Isaac on the way home....I think he had a good day. |
How very fun! Perfect summer activities. i love the photo of you jumping off the rock! And my goodness that dog is huge!
ReplyDeletejumping off the rock...how brave! I love it! That is not a dog, that is a pony. I love the cottage My sis had a lake house that we went to when my kids were little. They still talk about it and wish she still owned it.

ReplyDeleteI loved The Birth House and I am so glad to find someone else that has read it. I randomly found it at a beach house where people leave books they have read for the next guests. The main character captured my heart from the very beginning.
