Vacation at the cottage!

We're back from the cottage (and I'm back to the office... :-( boo!) We had a great time again this year. Some highlights:

  • We celebrated Jessie's 3rd birthday
  • went tubing with Sharon, John & Allison and their kids Jenna and Justin
  • did lots of fishing (Sarah and Abby caught some nice-sized bass with their Barbie rods)
  • lots of swimming (Sarah swam to the rock by herself, without her lifejacket!)
The weather held out really well for us. It was beautiful and sunny for the first few days, then we had some short showers Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but they were usually short periods of rain, and didn't stop us from swimming, etc.

There is a family of ducks that frequented the floating dock, and were really friendly. The kids had lots of fun with them. (And so did Leah) :-)

Abby's 5th Birthday

Here are some pictures from Abby's 5th Birthday. It was a "Reptile Party". As you will see, kids are not afraid of anything!! :-)
