Cottage days

Last weekend was Victoria Day weekend in Canada so Monday was a public holiday. We grabbed the kids and hit the road for a long weekend at a friend of Peter's cottage

It was quite relaxing - wet/cold weather on Sat/ Sun meant lots of indoors activities - which translated to reading and board games. I'm proud to say out of the 6 or 7 games of Cluedo we played I only lost one - the last - to Sebastian! Yes I took loads of notes but hello - how many detectives have you seen in Law and Order that don't have a notepad?!?! We had fun! It's also kind of nice being in the bush somewhere and not having to worry about poisonous bugs, snakes and spiders. Though the threat of bears did mean we had to be cautious about rubbish. The only creatures we saw were a rabbit one day and possibly a fox or racoon the night we were outside with the fire (which spooked me completely!)

the inside of the main room of the cottage - two bedrooms + bathroom (with spa) upstairs, den and laundry room downstairs - it was quite roomy
the outside deck where Peter bbq'd each night (and some mornings too!)



the path down to the lake


another by the water shot - Claire and I attempted to read by the water while the men were out in the canoe one day but lasted about five minutes before the chill wind saw us retreat to the protected deck outside the cottage. There we read for ages and got a few rays too.
