vacation at the cottage

We spent last week at the cottage. It was amazing we lasted a whole week! The weather was mostly good and we had a lot of visitors. The sleeping situation was less than ideal, but we kept pretty busy so the kids acted okay.

Reading all the books at the cottage was a real treat for the kids!

splash park

Jane had fun splashing with Rosalie and Nolan! Malcolm seems to be afraid of the water, but it's cute that his bathing suit matched Nolan's!

the fair

Malcolm was brave about going on rides!

beach day

I was lucky enough to have two families meet us at the beach last week. It was so much fun for the kids to play together, and we had enough adults that whoever wanted to be in the water could, and everyone else could play on the sand.

Jacob, Jane, Malcolm and I were working on a sand castle:



Jane and Clare made big holes in the sand to sit in!



Malcolm and I found some shells and we plan to decorate a picture frame with them.

fun with friends

We met Rosalie and Nolan at the EcoTarium and we had such a fun time!
