Well, first of all, according to Tom, I need to stop calling it a cottage... it's a cabin. I guess it is more of a cabin then a cottage, depending on your definition. The picture on the left was taken with my new cell phone (cool, huh?).
We rent a cottage..oops cabin.. for one week a year. My sister and her family rent one too and my parents come up with their camper. It's a great location for kids... a nice lake, a large sandy area to play in, ping pong table, swings, shuffle board, horseshoes and a volleyball court. The reason the adults love it so much is because the kids keep themselves busy from morning to night.
The past few days have been rainy and cold...today is chilly, but at least it's not rainy! Tom and my brother-in-law took the kids on a candy tour yesterday to kill some time.... out for lunch in one town, have an ice cream in another town and finally a stop at The Candy Store in another town. Needless to say, the kids were a bit wired last night! In the meantime, my mom, my sister and I enjoyed a nice lunch out.
We rented a small fishing boat today so the kids are happy going out for boat rides today. They haven't caught many fish yet, but that doesn't seem to bother them. The sun finally seems to be peeking out so hopefully we'll all be able to go swimming this afternoon.
oh..by the way... I never did buy that speaker set for my iPod. I did look on-line, but they were a bit pricey for me.
